Sports Illustrated: The Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever

The Xbox One X is the most powerful console ever made. Should you buy Microsoft's powerhouse 4KHDR console or get the PS4 Pro?

[darthv72]

Would liked to have seen this in their swimsuit issue with a hot model holding the controller.......

[XStation4pio_Pro]

amen!

[RommyReigns]

Comment of the day

[Skankinruby]

Lol I just might have bought my first xbox with that one

[BLKxSEPTEMBER]

You might want to be careful making comments like that with all the sexual harassment going on in this day and age lol. Now with that disclaimer out of the way as long as that hot model is Kate Upton you got my vote!

[ZeroX9876]

he didn't specify the gender of the swimsuit wearer... :)

[InTheZoneAC]

EVAH!!!

btw how many articles are going to repeat this? Almost like they're trying to down play the importance of good games.

[BlackTar187]

That's exactly what they're doing. The MS all in on HW but F'off to games is what they're trying to hide.

I read somewhere imagine just for a second MS didn't have new HW they would have nothing to talk about cause they don't actually nuture the game market with games.

They talk about games being 2-3 yrs off 4 yrs in to a generation where -3 yrs from now will be the next generation.

I'm not saying this will happen but picture this and then align it with what they've done now 2x in a row. They stop support of the previous console early to start pushing games as release day games for the new gen system then they cut support for new games again and move those games to next gen. It's a pattern with them now after the xbox one.

[hamburgerhill]

No they're not lmao! Nobody has ever said exclusives weren't important. What they're saying is X1X is the most powerful console ever and it's the truth!

[DiRtY]

So, you guys really think that Microsoft paid "Sports Illustrated" to promote their console?

[S2Killinit]

@blacktar
Well the thing is that its power is the only thing it has over the competition. So they just continue to say the company tagline over and over to get the most sales from people who buy into the hype.

@Dirty
I think its the first time sports illustrator has become an authority in gaming. So, i dont know. We should ask them. And then we should ask other celebrities and talk show hosts if they have the console for the love of gaming.

[fenome]

@hamburgerhill

So was the Atari when it came out and the NES when it came out, then there was Sega and Playstation and the 360 and on and on...

[Condemnedman]

I'm playing games on my X now in fact I'm playing wolfenstein in glorious 4k along with star wars battlefront and assassins Creed all best console versions available . what you should be talking about is why are sony advertising the pro as a 4k console. lol

[fenome]

@Condemnedman

Cool, how do all those cards look in 4k?

[hamburgerhill]

@Fenome...ok so what's your point? Where was this defense when ps4 news about it's power was everywhere? Lol....just incredible.!

[fenome]

@hambugerhill

Alright, look, I'm not trying to downplay the X1X or its fanbase. It's just all these articles "the most powerful console in the history of power!" I mean yeah, it is currently the most powerful console, but C'mon man. Lol

I guess you're right though, Sony was doing the same thing in the beginning of this generation so now it's their turn.

[JackBNimble]

Dirty
Of course they did, companies don't endorse products for free.

[hamburgerhill]

@fenome
To be honest I seriously don't care about the power advantage of X1X although it's great and I want to see it's potential. I'm just hoping this exclusive nonsense from MS is over. Seems like the fanboy arguments will never end unfortunately.

[headshotfrosty]

Or it's just a powerful console that they are focusing on power because that's the selling point... I'm thinking E3 2018 will be a doozy for both systems.

[Gazondaily]

Lol why shouldn't different publications offer their take on it? Just because some people don't like the fact that the Xbox One X is unmatched in console power doesn't mean they should pander to those hurt feelings imo.

Embrace the BEAST ♏💪

[RommyReigns]

The 'BEAST' is currently like Samson without his hair, without the games the 'BEAST' has no strength.

[S2Killinit]

Oh they totally should offer their take, especially if they know something about games.

It will be unmached in power for about a year or two for sure, then after that it will no longer be a beast but the good news is that it will still be an xbox.

[GamingIVfun]

The thing is the author of the article seems to be gushing a little too much over the system. I own an Xbox One X and think it's a huge improvement over the original Xbox One but it's not a huge improvement over PS4 Pro, I own both a PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X, games look virtually identical on both consoles at normal viewing distances ( you will see differences if you zoom in 600 percent, which no one does when playing a game) and if there is a difference on Xbox One X it is not as big as many make out, consumer or media.

People saying that Sony fan boys started the visuals argument with PS4 is not true, that was started by the Xbox 360 fan boys lauding better graphics over PS3.

The media scrutinized the hell out of the PS4 Pro and the need for it, where there has been much less scrutiny over the Xbox One X and the need for it. Not sure that it's good, bad or unfair.

[Condemnedman]

as many as they want you don't have to read them

[Software_Lover]

So the many "articles" on Xbox has no games were just an N4G illusion?

[Bigpappy]

I think you mean exclusives. Lots of great games on the X.

[ZeroX9876]

PS4 Pro had it's share of articles of "Most powerful console ever" back when it was released. Let the X have it's moment of glory and as time goes by, you'll see articles comparing a better PC against the X and Pro later on. Then a new generation will start and it's the same story all over again.

Games Diversity and Exclusives are what's making me buy consoles every generations. Be it the PS3/360/Wii last gen or PS4 for this generation. Since I have a great PC, I didn't invest in other consoles yet, but if their exclusives lineup grows, I'll surely consider buying the Switch/Xbox One!

[CurbStompin]

Haven't touched my PS4 Pro since launch.

[InTheZoneAC]

And I haven't touched my SNES mini in two weeks, but no point came out of either statement

[sk8ofmnd]

Deflection at is best is all lol. The xb1 is known as the xb180... they have retracted almost every public statement and went the other direction.

[trooper_]

And I've never touched an Xbox console in all my years of gaming.

[Gazondaily]

Lol your loss 🤣

[trooper_]

Not really. It has nothing I want to play.

[BlackTar187]

Your loss maybe at the release of the 360 but you haven't lost anything in the last 6-8 yrs except Sunset Overdrive.

[bluefox755]

Barring Nintendo, the newest console to come out usually is the most powerful console ever. It was Pro before, now it's X, and next it'll be PS5. The cycle continues. This is not a new phenomenon. Fortunately, hardware power is only one part of the equation, and if Switch is any indication, not a very large one.

[Pantz]

Love my PS4 Pro, but love my Xbox One X even more!

[Poobz]

The X runs every single major AAA better than the Pro, why would you not want one. We don't all like the Japanese exclusives that Sony 💰 hat for the PS4.

In saying that, my X died after 8 days. Thanks MS. And with that, back to Knack 2.

[Cyborgg]

My brother One X died as well. Microsoft is sending him a replacement though. Just curious did you get the SCORPIO edition?

[Poobz]

Yes, the Scorpio. I'd guess at failed HD on mine.

[Condemnedman]

man that sucks on both accounts 😂

[kevnb]

because they are faulty and the ps4 pro has more AAA games.

[Elda]

Whoops! You can always count on the PS4 for your gaming needs.

[Phill-Spencer]

Wtf poobz

People will have a hard time to figure if they should hit "agree" or "disagree"
on your comment.

First you are dare to praise the x's specs and talk down ps4's japanese games, then you have the nerve to give us info about your 1x's hardware failing and go back playing a lower rated ps4 game instead.

Some heads will explode and you sir, you will have blood on your hands^^

[TheKingKratos]

I don't know if i should give you disagree or agree
Laugh or feel sad for you
Goddamnit, my head hurts looking at your comment

[Phill-Spencer]

See, SEE? I told you poobz!

[CobraKai]

Not gonna be paying another $500 for another Xbox One just to play what used to be 720-900p games in 4K. I’m good with my standard PS4

[Rai]

Why do they keep beating people over the head with this.....

[kevnb]

microsoft went big with the paid advertsing, especially the kind that doesnt look like its an advert.

[kevnb]

undisclosed paid advert, Microsoft is really going deep getting sports illustrated involved when Im sure they couldnt care less about the xbox.

[Charlieboy333]

Even a Ferrari engine is useless without the rest of the car ( games ) to go with it...

[sin7279]

And???

[Elda]

&?

[trooper_]

And water is wet.

Who knew?!

[FreddyFazbear]

Thanks for telling Captain Obvious!!
