Hands On With the Xbox Series X
At last, the day has come, and the Xbox Series X and its Xbox Series S counterpart have been released into the wild.

Is The Xbox Series X Making Sony’s Greatest Mistake?
No doubt about it, the forthcoming Xbox Series X is a gorgeous looking machine, and the steady drip of photographs, spec sheets, and feature lists only increase its desirability.
