Microsoft revealed the Xbox One X to the world today, proving that it thinks X is just the best letter. The new console is mostly an Xbox One, but with 4K HDR output capabilities and Dolby Atmos surround sound on board. From an exterior design perspective, however, what’s interesting about the Xbox One X is that it’s the smallest Xbox One Microsoft has ever made, despite also being the most powerful.

When looking at the console on the right side there’s a “Hello from Seattle – Xbox One X” engraved message and the exhaust grill. Around back, you’ll find two USB ports, an HDMI in and HDMI out, an optical audio port and an IR out port, as well as Ethernet and a power cable port.

This is clearly a reference to Microsoft’s headquarters, which is based in Seattle (or, technically, Redmond, but close enough). That’s also where the company’s hardware engineers are based, so it’s a nice little shout-out from the team that worked to design the Xbox One X.

The same message can be found today inside Xbox One controllers under the battery.
