… Even before the announcement of the drop in suggested prices for the Xbox Series X and S, both consoles proved to be a success in pre-sales. According to Motta, “[Microsoft] had extremely high expectations for our market and the sales results are exceeding our expectations. For both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.”

The result was surprising, according to the Xbox manager in Brazil, not just because of the numbers themselves, but because Brazil, “traditionally, is not a big pre-sales market.” Although the Xbox Series X is sold out at retailers that operate nationwide, Motta reported that, according to data from last Friday (6), console units were still available from regional retailers - this being the safest option for consumers who wants to buy a new console soon.

it’s really nice to see the Xbox selling very well

Xbox is going to have a really great generation

Quick question: Can I use the power cord from my One X for the Series X? I could go behind my media center and change it but this would be easier

Yes, some of the reviewers mentioned that they used their existing power chord for the same reason you mentioned.

Sure but there also isn’t a huge quantity of publicly listed game companies out there. With the consolidation that has been going on the last few years, there isn’t as many top private teams out there that they aren’t already working with. And just because it hasn’t happened does not preclude it from ever happening. How many times were you told that Mocrosoft would not buy a publisher for example?

Many people said Microsoft would not buy a publisher. There’s no way to predict the future, and the landscape is changing, as you say. Competition is coming, and whether or not all companies are serious is yet to be determined. We’ll see how things change over the next year or two.

Oh wow! Amazing how you can choose exactly what you want to install. That somewhat makes up for the way too large size.

Hope we can uninstall the campaign too, because that’s probably humongous.

Anyone got Series X and LG CX worked without any problems? I know the CX latest firmware is .25 or .26.

Can anyone confirm if setting Series X at 4k 120hz VRR works fine on CX or the screen will goes black? You dont need 120hz games to test this, just play any games.

Thanks. Will get my Series X soon.

The debut of a video game console is a carefully choreographed event. It matches state-of-the-art electronics with complex software and big-budget games. It takes years of development and billions of dollars in collective investments, all building to a single deadline. The Xbox Series X was the fourth go-around for Microsoft Corp., and the company had a plan to improve upon the lackluster performance of its last console.

Then on Jan. 20, the first confirmed U.S. case of the coronavirus was reported in a suburb of Seattle. Over the next six weeks, the area surrounding Microsoft’s headquarters became the country’s first hotspot. After the virus claimed some of the first lives in a nearby nursing home, Microsoft closed its doors to most employees on March 4. “Everyone has a plan until a global pandemic punches you in the face,” said Jerret West, the marketing chief for Microsoft’s Xbox.

At first, Microsoft worried about whether manufacturers, many of which are in Asia where the virus originated, would be able to deliver hardware on time. But China soon contained the spread, and the supply chain issues proved to be less severe than anticipated. The biggest problems for Microsoft were at home.

The games planned for the Xbox Series X couldn’t be developed on the kinds of laptops people have lying around the house. So Microsoft and its game development partners went to work on a Plan B. They shifted to cloud computing tools and bulked up their network infrastructure to enable workers to remotely access more powerful machines located in dark offices. It still wasn’t enough for some Microsoft engineers, who took turns ransacking the office and piling heavy equipment into their cars, one executive recounted. For one star employee, Microsoft explored running a fiber-optic cable underground to his home in the woods.

Interesting article and nice read.

Especially with Microsoft funding and the collaboration of tech/experience between all the XGS teams. We really are in the golden era of Xbox.

Very insightful and hes right about halo it would of been really cool to have it at launch and when supply catches up expect sales to take off when halo releases

As is typical for a console launch, the Xbox will be hard to find this holiday season. “I feel good about our supply,” Spencer said. “Would I take more? Definitely.” The new timing for Halo Infinite could work in Microsoft’s favor, Spencer said, if it can help sell more consoles when supply catches up with demand
