I hate flowery language like "now adorably all digital". What the fuck is adorable about it being all digital?
the same way that removing a headphone jack is courageous, i guess
I mean based on the backlash one could argue it was courageous no?
yeah i guess i can't argue with that…
Y’know, I can’t think of a lot of adjectives to use for “all digital,” but “adorably” sure af is not one of them.
I think it's a reference to it's smaller size.
Then go "now smaller, adorable, and all digital" or something that doesn't sound completely daft.
Another only digital console: ew.
Gyro in an Xbox controller: W
I wish they'd make the drive an optional add-on that you could buy later if you decide that digital only isn't for you, instead of using it as product segmentation. But that would be pro-consumer, so not gonna happen.
They should make it HD DVD drive compatible 😁
Fuck no.
I'm not getting an external disc drive. It will only end in tears.
I'm going all PC, Nintendo, or PS5 if Xbox goes all-digital.
I thought the selling point of consoles was supposed to be second hand games being cheap
Another benefit of having an external disk drive is that you can replace it if yours goes bad. I'm not sure what's going to "end in tears," it would work just like any other USB device, you plug it in and the console could load games from it.
But yeah, an all digital console makes no sense to me, unless it's an interesting form factor like a handheld or an arcade cabinet. So the only console I have is a Switch, and everything else is on PC.
Ps5s next model is reportedly going the external disc drive route

That new cylindrical Series X looks like a Wi-Fi router lol
Fridge and Router. Perfect.
Now we need what? An oven?
Buttplug Thumbdrive
This is no longer a box. Time to rebrand.
Yeah, Xtube seems fitting( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
Apparently the new controller is also more silent. I wish it wasn't so ugly tho
I could see the utility of the textured surface if it has the durability, but holy hell does it look bad if it's actually just cut in half for colors like that.
If that's just for demonstration and the split is more naturally contoured, maybe it's OK.
I thought the same. I think it's mostly the gloss that is making me not like it. Hopefully with the amount of variation Microsoft typically offers with controllers means the will be something that I can stomach.
They can do a Duracell themed one with this design lol.
Interesting, and we also finally see the completely disc-less version we've been expecting for over a generation now.
I wonder what the haptic feedback being a speaker is all about?
The vibrations a speaker can produce could be very useful for haptic feedback. If this is a speaker modified for that purpose with a thicker, heavier membrane I think it would work very well

Think like Nintendo's HD rumble. There's certain patterns it can do that make it sound like... sound. In Golf Story for example, the hits with the club, with the hd rumble on, you can perfectly hear the skins of hitting a club even with the audio of the game down. It's strange and great at the same time. The steam controller also used it for those turn on, turn off jingles you could have on, they also sound great.
Fucking finally. Glad Microsoft finally managed to figure out how to make controllers with features everyone else has had since 2006
Haptic feedback has everyone. How does it differ in any form from other controllers.
Pretty sure only the Switch and PS5 Controllers have something unique to vibration motors
I'm pretty sure they're talking about the gyro, which Sony and Nintendo have had since the previous generation.
2 generations ago, really. Both the Wii and ps3 had gyro controls at launch.

so that's what the controller would look like if it wore pants
Does this mean we'll finally get decent gyro support in PC gaming?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Microsoft is planning to refresh its Xbox Series X console in 2024 with an all-new design and features.
Codenamed Brooklin, the unannounced console refresh has been accidentally revealed in new FTC v. Microsoft documents this week.
The new Xbox Series X design looks a lot more circular than the existing console and will ship without a disc drive.
Internal confidential Microsoft documents reveal it has 2TB of storage (up from 1TB), a USB-C front port with power delivery, and an “all-new, more immersive controller.”
The new controller, codenamed Sebille, is set to be announced later this year and will include an accelerometer for gyro support.
Console customization via Microsoft’s Xbox Design Lab program was also mentioned under a list of goals that the company wants to achieve by 2030, though we should note that according to the leaked documents, this isn’t yet fully funded.
