Taking Apart The Xbox One X - Tech Wave!

[@SpawnWave]

I know the game library is controversial, but I'm focusing on the hardware today :D Thanks for stopping by!

[@higurashikai09]

The end was a joke, right. Man, you had me worried for a second. But now that I think abou it, the X would probably break a toe if it landed on someone’s foot. Probably best to keep it in one place.

[@ElComanche]

John! You are impressive man! One smart dude with that stuff. I would be rubbish trying that stuff. Kudos to you. You didn’t drop that system did you?!

[@ericdawson1088]

Honestly spawnwave, would you buy one if you only had a 1080 tv and already had a switch and ps4 and the all the classics{SNES,NES) and etc. ? I mean honestly for a gamer who loevs all the systems would you buy one to replace a S version? thx

You killed it! And now it won't work anymore!

John James Rambo lmao, its not o ly nintendo fans, and youre onviously probs a salty nintendo switch hater

[@PillWool]

John James Rambo Funny how you are assuming it's Nintendo fanboys. One might come to the conclusion that you are the fanboy/hater here. ;) The unnecessary hate comes from everywhere. Sony fanboys, Nintendo fanboys, PC fanboys and even Microsoft fans themselves are complaining because there is a new system that they don't have and they just bought the old one 1-2 years ago - similar to some Nintendo fans complaining about the existence of Switch because they've got a Wii U.

You should def do more tech videos def my fav part of the channel

[@PongbyAtari]

Any of you that are talking trash about the X have no clue this is the best gaming console to date. Every game I have played on the X is an improvement in every way. The X runs amazing it would be nice to see the gaming community open there minds for a moment and close there mouths. I love my Switch Zelda & Mario are incredible games my Pro is great for the PS exclusives and VR. All the negative garbage is mind boggling the X is my best console purchase in 39 years of gaming.

[@jamesdicristoforo3386]

PONGbyATARI Tim A. Was my most useless purchase to date. I don’t need a 4K upgrade to games that are already good without 4K.

[@nighthawk7050]

It seems as though most of the joy of owning a PS4 is gloating about it on the internet, and not actually playing the system. Why do I need a PS4 again? So I can play online with you toxic bunch?

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Rockfan people gloat about every console, that’s a stupid ass reason not to get a PS4. And you’re really gonna bring up a toxic community? Lol what game or game console doesn’t have a toxic community man. The joy of owning a PS4 is knowing you’ll be able to play some of the greatest games from this generation of gaming that you can’t play on anything else

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Seems to me you’re the toxic one

[@VonDutchNL]

You need it to play all 5 Sony exclusives that makes your ps4 pro sound like a jet engine trying to push 1440p..

[@ILikeDonuts666]

Right? I have a ps4 for the exclusives, but a xbox for online

[@electricnick260]

I have a PS4. I hate it. I. Hate. My PS4. It is loud, it is slow, and games just don't run well on it. It was great when I bought it, but now it's a piece of shit. Never buying another PS4. My dad bought himself a PS4 Pro because he's a playstation elitist and my god is that thing fucking annoying. I don't care what everyone else's preferences are, but I'm really sick of the "this console is better than this console" bs because everyone has their own preference. I only like the controllers of the PS4, that's my only reason for not buying an Xbox, so I've converted to Nintendo because the Xbox and PS4 have their own dealbreakers for me. My only issue with Xbox is the controllers though, so at least Xbox has that going for it. For the record though it's not that the controllers are bad, my hands are just too small to comfortably use an Xbox controller.

I pre ordered the XBOX ONE X - Project Scorpio. When the GOW5 X1X went on pre order I got that too. However I sold my Scorpio as soon as I got my GOW 5 X1X. I was really surprised how much heavier the Scorpio felt compared to the newer version of X1X. I didnt weight them and I wish I had, but there was definitely a weight difference.

[@itchyisvegeta]

My only complaint about the system is the internal power supply. I prefer power supplies to be external for a few reasons. 1st: power supplies are known to go out, and making it external makes it easier to replace. 2nd: cuts down on the heat inside the system and could have also helped make the system even more compact, or helped with room for more heat dissipation. I understand the convenience of not having to have a power supply brick, but the most reliable video game consoles have a LONG history of external supplies.

@Ovy Licker The Series X is a far superior console in almost every aspect even its build quality.

@Ovy Licker The Series X is basically a Xbox One X, also the Series S is more powerful as well, The X cannot do Ray Tracing or keep up with the CPU in the Series S let alone the Series X. Dont get me wrong, i have a XB1X and i dont plan on getting a Series X soon. Its a great console.

[@azzaprime7257]

@Ovy Licker If its well optimized it can, but 4k/60 is only one thing which the XB1X does well. The Series S will do more of everything else, like better graphically settings with Ray Tracing.
