## Transcript

[ MUSIC ] Two years ago when we started on this journey, you told us you wanted certain things from us. You wanted power. You wanted community. You wanted choice. This product that we're announcing today is absolutely the culmination of all of your Feedback. And something that we truly think will move Xbox forward. When we think about the future of Xbox, we think about removing barriers. For me and for the fans and the developers, Xbox has always meant innovation and the latest technology. And delivering the worlds most powerful consoles. Something we absolutely wanna do. This is the console the developers asked us to build.

They wanted a console that had no boundaries, had no limitations. And that technology component, to us, is what we really need to make our vision and our art come alive. When I saw the specs to this thing, I'm like, wow, I got true to like, they're really going for it. They're not holding anything back. [ MUSIC ] So we gave the SOC six teraflops of computing capability to be able to handle 4k resolutions. Gamers are gonna get the most powerful graphics processor that's been put into a game console to date. It's gonna make developers happy. It's gonna make gamers happy because they're gonna get a very powerful GPU out of it.

The highest res, the best frame rate, no compromises. [ MUSIC ] You get 4k gaming, true 4k resolution, I can't wait to see what developers actually do with all that horsepower in the box. We can render at 60 hertz, we can render fully uncompressed pixels, even more real, more vibrant. [ MUSIC ] It's amazing. And what we're able to do now is bring that to the console player. My job, as a game maker, is about immersion. It's about to put you into an experience, and let you live that experience. The richer and more accurate those visuals are, they more immersive it is. And if we can get a lot more performance.

And I mean a lot more, like with this. We get to much greater and better game experiences as a result. We're moving fall out forward to VR. And to have a console that can support that at the resolution and speed that we want, I think it's going to be magical. This console is 100 % for you guys. We read the articles To read the reviews. It's the we heard you console. So that doesn't mean that we are leaving the original Xbox One behind. Every single thing that we've done for Xbox One will continue to work. We add To the capabilities of the Xbox One and the Xbox One family without forcing gamers to abandon all the games and the community that they love so much.

These two systems are part of the same family, the games will work on both, the accessories work on both. The box for building is incredible. It's gonna have eight CPU cores, over 320 gigabytes Bytes per second of memory bandwidth. 6 teraflops of GPU power. [ MUSIC ] It's a monster. [ MUSIC ] [ NOISE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
