The wait is over, folks! The Xbox One S was finally launched today in India to an overwhelming response from the crowd. The launch event was held in Microsoft’s cosy yet classy office in Gurgaon, where a horde of gamers had shown up to experience the new console first-hand. We had also been invited to witness the Xbox One S in action, and needless to say, it’s quite impressive. Without further ado, let’s get right to it. In terms of design and looks, the Xbox One S is simply stunning. The console is about 40% smaller than the original Xbox One, and looks twice as better. One of the biggest and the most welcome change is that it comes with a built-in power supply, so you can say goodbye to that hefty power brick. The chassis comes in a classy white finish with black highli...

There’s no doubt that Assassin’s Creed: Origins is looking great so far, specially in all the reveals and trailers we’ve seen. Ubisoft and Microsoft have both been pushing the notion that the game looks especially gorgeous on the Xbox One X. However, most had assumed that the PC will ultimately be the best looking version of the game. But, things don’t seem to be as we thought. In a recent preview event at EGX 2017, WccfTech reported the following: Nothing I did in the Assassin’s Creed: Origins demo was particularly fresh for the series, honestly, but the environments were wonderful. Or, would’ve been wonderful. The fact is, my entire experience was plagued by a single, constant issue; low framerate. I actually tried the PC version under the impression I could witne...
The creator of the hit video game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is in talks with Microsoft about extending their agreement to publish the game exclusively on Xbox, according to people familiar with the matter. South Korea’s Bluehole has agreed to produce the game for Microsoft first by the end of the year and is likely to give the company a longer period as the solo console, said the people, asking not to be identified because the matter is private. Games are typically offered exclusively for about three months to encourage people to buy a particular console, so Xbox may have the game to itself until the middle of next year or longer. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has become this year’s surprise hit of the game industry, selling 13 million copies and shattering records for personal-compute...

Microsoft sure seems desperate to get the Xbox One into the hands of consumers, so much so that they have resorted to calling it a 4K Blu-ray player first and video game device second, in Japan. Here are some pictures taken by YouTuber Gaijin Hunter, as seen at a major electronics store in Japan. The text at the top says, “Super Cheap” and “Recommended”, while at the bottom it claims, “If it’s Xbox One S, you can also play video games.” It also seems like a few people have actually taken the deal, since it really is a really cheap Blu-ray device. Folks have bought it to watch anime and also as a Blu-ray player for their 4K TVs. Ah well, I really hope that the Xbox One X doesn’t end up in a similar state down the line.

Microsoft is sending over a bunch of staff to both Bluehole in Korea and utilizing their staff in Spain to help port the game while the main team keeps working on the PC version.

Microsoft is aiding them in designing the controller feel (button mappings, auto-aim, etc) for the game, utilizing their experience in ...
Michael Pachter is a “popular” analyst and has been known for voicing strong opinions and predictions when it comes to video games and gaming hardware. He has recently said over Twitter that the Xbox One X will sell over 2 million units, and surpass PS4 Pro sales. He had also recently said that Microsoft has been overblowing Xbox One X pre-order numbers, and called them out by saying this: “On that topic, Xbox One X is ranked on Amazon in the pre-orders a year to date, last I looked number 66”, he “I believe the NES Classic was at number 23. It sold 2.3 million units lifetime, and you know that the bulk of those units were sold last year, so this year maybe a million, so if Xbox One X is ranked 48th bellow that, it`s not even close to a million, and of course the Amazon allocat...
