Xbox one X: The most powerful gaming console ever , Pre-order, Features

Xbox One X - earlier known as Project Scorpio - will arrive in store shelves in just a few weeks, and Microsoft wants you to "feel true power". The new slogan is part of Xbox's new marketing campaign, aimed to sell you this slim box said to be the most powerful console ever. And powerful it certainly is, capable of 4K and all other forms of visual magic. It's not the start of a new generation, but a souped-up Xbox One sibling powerhouse. But how much power does it really have, and how does it compare to the PS4 Pro? What games can you play on it? What do you need to get the full experience? We've got answers to all these questions and more waiting below.



Xbox One X - where can I pre-order it?

Microsoft has revealed a very special Xbox One X console exclusively for pre-orders. The slick Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition is inscribed with the code name for the console on both the box itself and the controller and comes with a vertical stand to show off the 4K device in all its glory. It's in very limited supply but you can currently pre-order the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition from the below retailers.

Xbox One X - What is it?

PS4 and Xbox One both came out as markedly more powerful than their predecessors, yet were lagging a bit behind in terms of power. While PCs and televisions were embracing 4K resolution, Sony and Microsoft both struggled to get games running at native 1080p and/or 60 frames per second. While it's not uncommon for consoles to be a step behind on the tech curve, many were left wondering why these two powerhouses didn't put a little more oomf in their boxes.

Both companies responded by introducing what have been referred to as "mid-generation refresh" consoles. These are more powerful versions of the base product, but not so advanced as to be considered a wholly new generation. Remember how the N64 had an expansion bay for extra memory processing? It's kind of like that, but on a bigger (and more expensive) scale.

These refresh platforms would be considered an extension of the current consoles, and would play everything the base form could. Both Sony and Microsoft also decided that, for now, there would be no games exclusive to these refreshed platforms.
