Here is some GDC stuff from project accoustics... Pretty amazing, imo
I'm worried about that proprietary extra storage solution, everything else is great.
So I'm confused about the storage. You can have external storage but have to move the games to internal if you want to play them?Pricing is going to be the scary part.
Luckily though you can store/shuffle stuff on regular HDD/SSD via external, and those will actually be moving at their full speed this time around instead of being gimped like they are on current Xbox One/Xbox One X. With those speeds it should be a lot more manageable and if current Xbox One functionality is anything to go by, you should be able to start playing a game once a small percentage transfers and I don't think massive bandwidth throttling when you're playing a game will be an issue like it is on Xbox One/Xbox One X either, the i/o seems to be more than enough to cover the internal NVMe SSD speed.
Only New gen would be like that because they would be built around use of the SSD. Old Gen games could be played from the regular external, but you wouldn't get the increased loading or instant switching benefits.So I'm confused about the storage.

Oh. So my external now won't work for future games? And new games i could essentially download to the internal.Only New gen would be like that because they would be built around use of the SSD.

Yeah, the next gen games expect a compatible SSD and can only run from those.Oh. So my external now won't work for future games? And new games i could essentially download to the internal.

Not sure I like the ideas of texture and grip on the triggers. I feel like if you are pulling the trigger a lot, it's going to rub you finger a little raw. I've never once thought, "Ah! I just died because my finger slipped off the trigger! If only the put some texture on here, I would have won that match!"Xbox Series X Controller Has a New D-Pad and Should Be Easier to Hold - IGN

Whew. Them specs. Plus that new controller. Are we all back at $499.99 yet?

According to DF you can still park your new gen games on your existing external HD so you don’t necessarily have to keep downloading from Xbox Live, you can just copy across to the internal SSD when you need to juggle games on the SSD. Handy if internet data caps are an issue and I’m sure copying across is faster than downloading.
That's what I plan on doing until they get bigger sizes than 1TB.
