The Xbox One X[1] is set to ship on November 7, promising power for 4K gaming and video in a more compact frame for $499 (roughly Rs. 33,000). Microsoft[2] provided me with a review unit to test for about a week, along with codes for several games.
Overall, the Xbox One X is a fast, solid console. But before you rush out to buy one there are two main questions you should ask: how much power do I need and what am I going to play on this thing?
Better performance is the main recommendation for getting the Xbox One X. Microsoft brags this is the "most powerful console" ever made, and backs that up with an impressive list of specs that could rival a gaming PC. It's also worth noting that Microsoft jammed all of these enhancements into a much smaller frame than the Xbox One. The result is that games run better and look better, with more shades of shadow and light, all while saving you some space.
The Xbox One X also has an HDR Blu-ray player, which makes it valuable for entertainment outside of gaming as well.
That brings us to a related point: the Xbox One X can support 4K gaming as well as 4K video, thanks to those power improvements. But, naturally, you'll get the most out of those improvements if you have a 4K television. That's not to say that all the improvements will be lost on you if you don't have a 4K set - Microsoft promises those with 1080p sets will also see a difference - but the differences won't be quite as stunning.
Of course, all that power is somewhat useless if you don't have games to play...
