Xbox Series XS launch was the biggest in Xbox history says Phil Spencer

Well, the next-gen is here as both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have now hit the market. The hype is almost unreal right now as reviews of games, the console itself, and even the controllers have started flooding the internet. But how did these consoles acutely do on launch day? Well, we don’t have any info on the PS5 as it did just release today but if what Xbox head, Phil Spencer has to say is true then the launch of the Xbox Series X/S is the largest launch in Xbox history. Even though the console did not release with Halo Infinite, it still managed outsell every Xbox to come before the Series X/S. 

Thank you for supporting the largest launch in Xbox history. In 24 hrs more new consoles sold, in more countries, than ever before. We’re working with retail to resupply as quickly as possible. You continue to show us the connective power of play is more important than ever.

— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) November 12, 2020

The full figures aren’t know as yet but analyst Daniel Ahmed did point out that the Xbox One did sell about 1 million units in 24 hours and if the Series X beat that out, then it definitely must be upwards of a million units, at the very least. The full officially numbers have not been released so this is still all speculation, as of now. 

The previous largest launch for the Xbox brand was the Xbox One which sold over 1 million units in 24 hours across 13 launch markets. We can infer Series X|S is over 1m from this. Although not too surprising given it launched in 37 markets. Hopefully Microsoft shares hard data https://t.co/tWxxxkZNEH

Garmin launches Venu SQ and Venu SQ Music smartwatches with 6 day battery life

A few months ago, Garmin had announced the solar versions of their popular Garmin Instinct and Fenix 6 series of fitness watches, and now, the company has launched their Venu SQ and Venu SQ Music smartwatches in India. The Venu SQ isn’t supposed to replace the existing Venu smartwatch, but instead, augments that lineup with a new price point.

Garmin is pegging the Venu SQ and Venue SQ Music as smartwatches based on a number of functions the watches provide. For starters, they offer notifications on the wrist for such things as messages, calls etc, however, only Android users will be able to respond to messages on the Garmin Venu SQ. The Venu SQ also supports apps, which can be downloaded from Garmin’s own Connect IQ Store. In terms of fitness tracking, the duo offer the same set of activities that they can track, which includes running, walking, cycling, yoga, swimming (in a pool) and even golf. The Venu SQ and Venu SQ Music also get an SpO2 meter, allowing you to take your blood oxygenation readings throughout the day. Garmin also uses the SpO2 sensor to deliver more insightful sleep data, while also offering the VO2 Max metric, something that athletes require.

The Venu SQ and Venu SQ Music only differ in the fact that the latter allows you to download and stream music straight from the watch through third party apps such as Spotify. The Venu SQ duo also boast of impressive battery life of up to 6 days in smartwatch mode. However, start using them for outdoor workouts with GPS enabled and that total battery life drops to 14 hours. On the Venu SQ Music, if you have both music and GPS running together, then the watch will deliver up to 6 hours of battery life in total. The Instinct in comparison, which isn't marketed as a smartwatch, offers 5 days battery life.

Garmin has made the Venu SQ available for purchase already. The Venu SQ can be bought for Rs 21,090 while the Venu SQ Music comes with a price tag of Rs 26,290.

Motorola Moto E7 is expected to feature a 6.5-inch HD+ (1520 x 720 pixels) resolution display with a waterdrop notch cutout for the selfie camera. The E7 measures 8.7 millimetres in thickness and weighs 181 grams.

There’s no word on the processor inside the Moto E7 but it could come with upto 3GB RAM and 32GB storage options to choose from. Furthermore, there’s a microSD card for expanding the storage as well. The Moto E7 is expected to run on stock Android 10 out-of-the-box.

The Moto E7 could have a dual-camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 48MP camera and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie camera housed within the waterdrop notch cutout. The rear camera can record videos in 1080p at 30FPS.

The E7 is equipped with a 4,000mAh battery and there’s a fingerprint reader embedded into the classic batwing-logo on the back. As for the pricing, we expect Motorola to price the Moto E7 just under Rs 10,000-mark as it already sells the E7 Plus at Rs 9,499.

Xbox Head, Phil Spencer says that Elden Ring is From Softwares most ambitious game yet

One of the most anticipated games in recent memory has been From Software’s Elden Ring. Developed by the guys behind Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, Elden Ring is a collaboration with fantasy author George R.R Martin and should deliver the same tough-as-nails gameplay and cryptic yet epic storylines of past From Software titles. The game was announced in 2019, and we still don’t have much info to go by. But, that could be changing as Xbox head, Phil Spencer says that he’s played the game and is thoroughly blown away by it. 

In an interview with Gamespot, Spencer said that he’s seen and played quite a bit of the game. He goes on to say, “As somebody who's played all of Miyazaki's games over at least the last decade, this is clearly the most ambitious game that he's done, I mean, I love his games, but seeing some of the gameplay mechanics stuff that he's tackling, he and the team are tackling this time, of the setting, working with another creator in terms of story. I love it” Well, we now know that Elden Rings is on the horizon and anyone who’s a fan of the Soulsborne games should be very, very excited. 

For a few of us in the Digit office, Elden Ring is a much more anticipated title than Cyberpunk 2077, and we now have confirmation that the game is under development and is looking to be another sure-fire hit that From Software have on their hands. Also, if you're looking for a next gen experience and are looking at buying an Xbox Series X, you may want to read this first.
