Microsoft is launching the Xbox One X on November the 7th. Offering 4k at 60fps a new 8 core CPU and backward compatibility plus it will feature a 1 terabyte hard drive. The console will cost $650 Australian or $450 US.
We’ve heard rumors that despite ongoing testing Playerunknown's Battlegrounds may be less than a month away from release on the XBox One. Having sold over 10million copies on PC alone it’s one of 2017's hottest games. The game has received an MA+15 rating in Australia, the second strongest classification available.
November is a huge month for the Nintendo Switch. On the 10th Doom, on the 17th Skyrim plus 5 or six more.

Two recent Switch updates have included the ability to transfer profiles between consoles and game capture.
