Microsoft Unveils The Smallest Xbox Ever -- The Xbox One X (theverge.com)

An anonymous reader quotes The Verge: After months of speculation, Microsoft is unveiling its "Project Scorpio" games console today, and it's officially named Xbox One X. Microsoft's Xbox One X naming comes just days after the company trademarked a mysterious S logo, and started dropping Scorpio hints in its E3 teaser videos. Microsoft is planning to launch the Xbox One X on November 7th worldwide. All existing Xbox One accessories will work on the new Xbox One X, alongside all existing Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles and Xbox One games. Microsoft is even planning to use "super sampling" on the One X to make new games look better even on 1080p TVs. [YouTube] The new console will ship with 6 teraflops of graphical power, more than its main competitor, the PS4 Pro, with 4.2 teraflops. Microsoft is using a custom GPU engine on Scorpio that runs at 1172MHz, a big increase over the Xbox One's 853MHz and even Sony's 911MHz found on the PS4 Pro.
Microsoft says the new Xbox One X is the "smallest Xbox ever."

You buried the lead, don't care about a small box

The real story here is the power, not the size of the box. Unless it's a portable console or a girlfriend, no one cares how small its box is.

This time around you guys got lucky. The Xbox One X is manufactured in Australia and the price increase for the USA is because they need to add another GPU to put the image right side up.

Packaging.

So the packaging it comes in is technically an Xbox One X box.
