Microsoft on XBox One X name (considered calling it Elite, Scorpio not in play) - NeoGAF

While Microsoft ultimately decided to call its new console Xbox One X, other names were considered and Head of Xbox Phil Spencer shared with IGN a few of those alternate names."We obviously looked at 'Elite,' but we've called one of our Xbox One consoles 'Elite' already," Spencer explained, going on to note that "'S' was obviously used already."He also spoke to the console's codename 'Scorpio' and addressed why that branding didn't carry over to the final name. "I know a lot of people wanted us to call it 'Scorpio'—Xbox One Scorpio," he said, adding, "that's a hard one to get the trademark for."When asked if Microsoft ever considered dropping the 'One' from the console's name, Spencer replied, "No, because we have a family of consoles. Because we know different price points are important, and we know that for many customers, maybe customers who haven't jumped into this generation yet, the Xbox One S is a great console for them."
 Microsoft pulled back the curtain on Xbox One X during its E3 press conference earlier today. The console will release worldwide on November 7 and be priced at $499.

Also I was wrong about the screen, wrong completely.

For $499 it would have been cool if they included it but that would have probably made the price feel even worse.

No preorders up yet.

Might not be available for a while.

Why does the Xbox One X cost $500? We asked Xbox chief Phil Spencer - Business Insider

At $500, the new Xbox One X game console is expensive. It's expensive compared to other game consoles, and it's expensive when you're not comparing it to anything.

Unbelievably, at $500, Microsoft isn't making any money on each box sold.

"No," Xbox leader Phil Spencer told me in an interview this week, after I asked him if Microsoft makes any money selling the Xbox One X at $500.

"So, you're taking a loss?" I said. "I didn't answer it that way," he responded, intentionally not offering more detail.

So they are making a profit, but don't want to sound like it?

Sounds like they are breaking even. I doubt any business man would openly say he is making a loss or breaking even when he is actually making a profit.

I originally took it as they were basically breaking even.  

But it's possible they are making a profit and don't want to sound like it.  Everyone has been saying it.  But overall it seems to stem from their continuous desire to cut down their business. Basically focusing on making money by cutting down most of their studios to the ones that are pretty successful. Releasing an elite console at an elite tier price to make money on the system.  They've also probably cut down on their plans for the cloud.  

I suspect that it's likely they are making a little profit, but not a lot.

STate of Decay looked really bad graphicly. Thought it was indie until the logo showed.

FOrza looked good on my stream.

MEtro was a cgi trailer but in engine, that's why it looked so off.

Metro was in-game. PC maybe, but definitely in-game
