Microsoft Reveals New Xbox One X Console. Microsoft has unveiled its latest games console, imaginatively titled, the Xbox One X, ahead of this year’s E3 2017 event. Previously known under the name “Project Scorpio,” news of the Xbox One X was first confirmed at last year’s E3 by Microsoft. The big news for hardcore gamers is the fact that it is considerably more powerful than the PlayStation Pro 4, and will run new and old Xbox games in 4k at a brisk 60 frames per second. Microsoft’s new Xbox model is named Xbox One X and will ship on November 7, with a $499/£449 price tag. Better stats than PS4 Pro Announcing the news, Microsoft’s Phil Spencer also proudly declared that the Xbox One X is the smallest console the company will have ever produced. And the VR, tell me about the VR capability! I would, but there was very little mentioned about the Xbox One x and Virtual Reality.
