Is it 20% smaller than the previous generation/sibling before it? Can it play in the vertical position as well as the horizontal? What about heat ventilation and does it have a matte finish?

EB Canada has $200 trade in even for X1 and PS4 OG. Ends in a week. Checking Gamestop USA, it has a similar deal.
Act fast!
I'm packing up my X1 and trading it in on the weekend.

Gears 4. I have not played it yet so it should be a treat in 4k. I hope to get that same feeling as I did when I first played Gears 1 as far as the graphics quality.
Forza 7 is first for me. I want to see how it changed from my Xbox One X. Then Assassin's Creed Origins. I am not going to buy that until I get my X1X so I can see it in all its glory day one.
I bought the Witcher 3 GOTY edition and The Evil Within LE last week. So those are the first games I'm going to play.
Wolfenstein and Forza 7. Then older stuff like Witcher and Doom.
...and Halo 5. Always Halo 5.
I have a weird question, but if 360 games in 720P automatically get upscaled to 4K or FauxK could the 360 version of GTAV look better than the XBOX One version assuming the XBOX One version gets no upgrades?
I am glad MS didn't spend a s*** ton of money on the cosmetic packaging inside the box this time around. It's about time they just focus on gaming and the hardware.
I don't think the increase works for 360 games... is GTA backward compatible?
AC Origins but reading reviews now,it might be Wolfenstein lol...getting both anyway...Wolf is said to be 15 hours,AC you can stretch to 100 it seems.
Not sure if it is right now. I'm basing this off a Polygon article from a few days ago:
Four Xbox 360 games will get visual enhancements on Xbox One X when the new console launches next month, Microsoft announced today. Halo 3, Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and the original Assassin’s Creed will all run at nine times their original pixel count and with expanded color details, starting Nov. 7, thanks to free updates.
Those four Xbox 360 games are already backward compatible on Xbox One, but thanks to a technique known as “the Heutchy Method,” named after the engineer who developed it, they’ll look better than ever on Xbox One X. The method “leverages the power of Xbox One X to let the Xbox 360 emulator present the very best version of the game possible with the existing assets—all without touching the game code,” Microsoft said in an official announcement.
Not yet. Those 4 are 360 games but apparently some hooks have to be there to work. I can guarentee other games will get it too and this serves for research into how it can be applied (and yes, patented) to consoles and games going forward. You can understand how owning the patent for applying resolution updates at a system level would be meaningful for Xbox in the future. No more patches
GTA5 isnt likely to be high priority given the native version. But never say never.

Twelve ways the enhanced Gears of War 4 will blow your socks off on Xbox One X
By Microsoft reporterOctober 26, 2017
We’ve enhanced Gears of War 4 for the Xbox One X; and it shows off the wealth of graphical and gameplay enhancements that come with owning the world’s most powerful console. Today, we are also unveiling the Preferred Rendering mode, so you can play Gears of War 4 how you want.
True 4K experience
Get ready to experience unmatched clarity, richness and details with true 4K visuals (3840×2160) in our Visuals Rendering Mode. Even if you’re playing on a 1080p screen, you’ll instantly notice the difference thanks to a 4K super sampled image that brings you a crisper, richer looking Gears game.
HDR
High Dynamic Range provides increased contrast between lights and darks. Battling your way through a lightning flurry in a windflare has never looked better. Gears of War 4 on Xbox One X supports a wide colour gamut for true-to-colour definition – just as the artists intended – and now at 4K resolution.
Up to 60 frames per second (fps) for ultra-smooth gameplay
We’re excited to announce Xbox One X owners will have two Preferred Rendering Options to choose from in Gears of War 4 – Visuals and Performance.
Performance
Put framerate first. For the first time ever, Gears of War will play at up to 60fps in 1080p in Campaign and Horde – all including higher resolution textures and some of the new enhanced graphical features available in Visuals mode.
Visuals
Push graphical fidelity to the max. This mode uses Ultra Quality Textures, a wealth of new and improved graphical features all at 4K resolution (3840×2160) thanks to the power of Xbox One X. You’ll experience the same frame rates you’ve come to expect from Gears of War 4 – 30fps for Campaign and Horde. In both Rendering modes, Versus will run at a rock-solid 4K 60fps (with adaptive resolution scaling).
Dolby Atmos audio support
When playing Gears of War 4 on Xbox One, we now offer Dolby Atmos, which gives you immersive, moving audio. The Dolby Access app lets you set up your Dolby Atmos enabled home theatre, TV or sound bar for free, and lets you try or buy Dolby Atmos for Headphones, which gives you immersive sound on any headphones. Experience the visceral sounds of Gears of War in a way that will make you feel like you’re inside the action.
Our most immersive world thanks to new features
The world of Sera has never been more immersive thanks to new features and higher resolution textures – all possible with the additional horsepower and memory offered by the Xbox One X.
Enhanced Light Shafts
Also known as God Rays, Enhanced Light Shafts provide true-to-life beams of sunlight in the world. Prepare for jaw-dropping lighting as the God Rays peek through gaps in the canopy of trees above you, or in sunset conditions peeking through buildings and statues.
Dynamic shadows
Shadows in Gears of War 4 are usually pre-defined by an artist to accurately reflect the shadows objects in the world would cast based on the lighting. On Xbox One X, dynamic shadows now react true to the lighting conditions and movement of objects – for example, trees blowing in the wind will cast an accurate moving shadow on the ground – bringing the world of Sera to life like never before.
Increased draw distances
With the power of Xbox One X, we can maintain higher resolution textures at a further distance than ever before – creating a higher fidelity picture and crisper world around you, even on the horizon.
Superior reflections
We’ve pushed our surface space reflections even further to look closer to as you would expect in real life. Reflective surfaces now have a higher definition reflection of your character – whether that’s in a mirror-like reflection of water, or the muddied colour reflective nature of metal. It looks especially awesome on the DeeBee’s metallic armor.
Enhanced character textures
With our higher resolution textures now available on console thanks to Xbox One X, characters show more detail from head to toe. They’ve never looked better.
Experience this all at no extra cost for Gears of War 4 owners when you pick up your Xbox One X. If you’re picking up the Xbox One X but haven’t jumped in to Gears of War 4 yet, you can try it free now with our 10-hour trial – the perfect showcase piece for your new super-powered console.
