3. It’s an Attractive Console
Much has been made of the Xbox One X’s PS2-ness in terms of aesthetics, but at the end of the day, the new console looks pretty damn sexy — especially in comparison to the Betamax player that was the original Xbox One. When Microsoft revealed the final product at E3 2017, everyone knew the console would be powerful, but the real surprise came when the company announced that the Xbox One X is the smallest console they have ever developed.
At Gamescom 2017, Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One X Scorpio Edition, a highly limited console that maintains the system’s development code name. The special edition console features a couple small tweaks that differentiate it from the standard edition, including a green typeface “Scorpio Edition” printed on both the console and the controller, special edition packaging designed to resemble the original Xbox, and a black-to-white graphite textured casing.
