At X019, the annual "celebration of all things Xbox," there's a certain Xbox thing that isn't going to be there: the next Xbox. The upcoming 2020 Xbox (whose announcement is a big part of the reason that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:nobody's buying the curreℱnt generation of Xbox right ෴now) will not be present fo𒀰r Microsoft's big London conference this weekend.
The next-generation Xbox was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:announced at E3 2019 and there was a flood of information that came out right around that time. We found out that Halo Infinite will be a launch title and tha🦹t Microsoft plans to inc🎀lude ray-tracing. The company believes it'll achieve 120fps and an 8k resolution, says it'll include SSDs that will double as virtual RAM, and that there will be some measure of backward compatibility.
After this torment of news, Microsoft followed up the announcement with a hea♋ping pile of nothing. No new specs, no first look at the system, no announcements of upcoming games -- nothing. It's been total media silence as Microsoft, presumably, has🌃 been working behind the scenes to make sure its brand new system will meet everyone's expectations.
A more-skeptical gamer might be persuaded to believe that Microsoft has either something to hide or nothing to show. Meanwhile, there's been a steady drip-feed of information and rumors surrounding its biggest competitor, the PS5. We've heard it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:might use cartridges. We know it'll 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:use less power. We know it'll work as a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:4k Blu-Ray Player. We've seen 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:what it looks like and then found out it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:doesn't actually look like that.
Whether Microsoft realizes it or not, the more people hear about the PS5 (true or otherwise), the more it'll be at the forefront of thei𝐆r minds. And as much as we like to pretend we're all above mind games, awareness of a product counts for a lot when it comes to sales൩.
As for anyt🍃hing else related to X019, make sure to head back to TheGamer this weekend as we provide coverage and in-depth looks at new trailers and announcements. Just don't expe🌳ct the Xbox Scarlett.
