Xbox Series X/S review: no Nintendo 64 but still a must-buy
by Philipp Rüegg
The embargo on Microsoft's new console generation is lifted. We can finally show you how the Xbox Series S/X performs live in action. Join us and ask us your questions.
After seven years, the successor to the Xbox One is on the horizon. The 2013 console got off to a rough start and was never quite able to recover. By 2020, the Xbox One had sold just under 50 million units, while the PS4 had more than doubled that figure.
Why was that? Probably the always-online requirement, among other things. Microsoft later changed its mind. Too late. Damage done. The fear of this persisted in many people's minds. Added to this were performance problems, the higher launch price and the lack of exclusive games. Although the Xbox Series S/X will not be able to correct the latter at the official launch on 10 November, Microsoft has otherwise achieved a great success. You can find out more in my review.
So that you can see for yourself how the console performs in operation, Luca and I stream around an hour of the new Xbox Series S/X. We show the new features such as Quick Resume, play a few games and answer any questions you may have during the stream.
We stream on Youtube and on Twitch. Why not also check out our Discord channel.
This is how we stream:
As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
