Microsoft’s “Xbox” line has been a stamp of a console in the gaming world, but Microsoft is facing some major criticism for its recent creation.

The Xbox One X is set to be launched Nov. 7, its pre-order already active. The rumor of a new Xbox had been started around the name “Project Scorpio,” a nickname Microsoft had given its new console in its state of development to get fans excited. The new Xbox is built to support 4K media with ease. With 12 gigabytes of memory, a 1,172 megahertz graphics card and a eight-core “Jaguar” processor at 2.3 gigahertz, the Xbox One X does indeed surpass the recently launched Xbox One S, whose specs do differ, but only slightly.

Many Microsoft fans are saying that the brand new $500 console may not be worth the money, saying that its specs would be physically unnoticable to most people. Unless one were to pay some serious attention and knew their computer knowledge, the difference between the two consoles would be most likely neglected. Along with that, the fact that Microsoft felt the need to launch a console not even a year after its previous is nothing but a waste of time and money.

Writing this article from the standpoint of someone who has just recently received the Xbox One S, the launch of this new console is absolutely pointless. The hype around “Project Scorpio” never quite got to me, especially with people getting excited over the fact that it was about to process 4K media. The original Xbox One, launched in 2013, could not handle that, but the 2016 Xbox One S could. Less than a year later, “Project Scorpio” was born, but for literally no reason other than keeping the attention of the people in the gaming world.

Its specs are not even doubled of what the One S can handle, yet the price is doubled, which is absolutely ridiculous. Along with that, if you are wanting to purchase the Xbox One X, you are also more than likely going to have to purchase a brand new monitor or television set that can handle its Blu-ray specs. Buying a new console and a new monitor can definitely put a hole in someone’s wallet.

Not to mention the fact that the two consoles share many things in common: both run incredibly quiet for most games with incredible cooling systems, have infrared blasters to interact with other devices, are similar in size and memory, controllers are relatively the same as well. If anything, Microsoft tried to fix something that wasn’t broken in the first place.

In my personal opinion, it would have been wise of Microsoft to have waited much longer and for new technology to make a brand new console, perhaps with virtual reality. Either way, Microsoft is launching new consoles way too fast, only making consoles with slight differences when compared to one another. Yet they still find the nerve to double the price of the previous console. To me, it is quite the waste of money.
