On this powerful episode of the Popzara Podcast our own gaming guru/tech-head duo Cory Galliher and Herman Exum unite once more to talk all about the Xbox One X, which Microsoft claims is the “world’s most powerful console.” In a stunning twist of fate, such a boast isn’t just typical marketing huzzah; it’s actually true. But will raw technical power, 4K resolution, and HDR colors be enough to justify that hefty price-tag?

The guys break down the latest Xbox One console – the third – to let potential buyers know what their hard won cash will net them. Apart from enhanced 4K/HDR visuals and audio, hardcore gamers should expect major gains in marquee Xbox titles Halo 5: Guardians, Forza 7, and Gears of War 4 in both performance and wow factors. Also, how does the X stack up to that other 4K enabled super-console, Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro? Come to think about it, can the market sustain between-generation gaming consoles like them?

For all this and more you’re gonna have to listen and find out – no fancy upgrade required!
