100% buying one for traveling as wellThing going to sell gangbusters. Might cop one for travel.
Prediction time.
They are going to call these sticks Xbox Series [Something]. They will be obviously cheap, as they aren't actual console hardware, to the point where they are basically given away.
Then, six months later, they will suddenly decide to start sharing Xbox Series console sales numbers, where they count each of these keychain consoles as a full Xbox Series hardware sale..
Suddenly, transparency will be super important to the Xbox division again like it was early on with the 360.

Something akin to the old shield tv or the shield tv Pro.So what is it? A console or a streaming stick?
Oh yeah? What do you like about it so far?Thing going to sell gangbusters. Might cop one for travel.
Why? Kojima productions is working on a exclusive Xbox/pc gameThat kojima production statue feels so out of place.
smolOh yeah? What do you like about it so far?
WTF is Gamer Flavour?Game Pass + XStick in everyone of these!
Mt. Dew and lip sweat?WTF is Gamer Flavour?
It's EXTREMELY salty, with a little cumin, of course.WTF is Gamer Flavour?
I see two possible prices.
Sell a year of GamePass for $150 and give the stick for free.
Sell the stick for $150 which includes a year of GamePass.
Who knows which it will be. It's up to the accountants at Xbox now.
How would that make you feel?Prediction time.

BRUGHHHHHH thats minginIt's EXTREMELY salty, with a little cumin, of course.
That's... The same fucking thing?Microsoft first announced it was planning an Xbox streaming device last year, and many had incorrectly assumed it would be a stick that would plug directly into a HDMI port. While Microsoft is still working on this Xbox streaming console, codenamed Keystone, it will be more of a box or puck-like device that attaches to monitors and TVs.
Too expensive for a streaming device when I can buy Amazon's 4K stream box for $60. Amazon, being a direct competitor, it would be smart for MS to offer it for $50.I see two possible prices.

The problem is the cloud streaming looks shit on any display above tablet size because they're either over-compressing the video and not using a high enough bitrate. They really need to get their arses in gear and use the full power of the Series X to deliver 4K streaming.
You only brought this up because you are worried it will interfere with your console warz.Prediction time.

A Roku is about $100. This needs a controller also. Probably $150 with a few free months of GP, and other apps for movie streaming, etc on there.Stream only device? Wouldn't pay more than 50 bucks for it, and I think that's maybe too much.

Roku business model is also slightly different. I personally think that the xbox model is more lucrative but probably need to look into rokus ad revenue.A Roku is about $100. This needs a controller also. Probably $150 with a few free months of GP, and other apps for movie streaming, etc on there.
This is a gamble on "everyone else." No one has proven the streaming gaming blue ocean exists just yet, but everyone will gamble on it and see.Gamers have demonstrated over and over again that they dont give a fuck about streaming. Dead on arrival
Not to mention that if you re-arrange the letters in Alan Wake, you get "Weak Anal."Has he had that Alan Wake face plate themed 360 before as well ?
Could be a hint at AW2 marketing partnership if not. Just speculating.
