I keep saying it. Do a Nintendo Direct kind of thing. A whole event is gonna be a disaster like the PS4 Pro event. To be fair there isnt much to say and to show. Because the games are for E3 and giving info about the console it easy to do in a video. Doing a event is setting up for disappointment.

But that message was different and I'm sure they will market it as a game console now. They really have to reveal this thing before E3. It's just odd that they won't give some clarity on that finally.

Okay I violate my

That's so '90s.
I'm just glad they'll all work if I buy them now and then get the Scorpio at launch. I can't wait to see Destiny 2 on the thing.

I agree. Although the media will be aching to get their hands on the system to see the difference or improvements. It is best to control the message.

Scorpio will proabably leak before they get the chance to unveil it. MS has such a leaky ship I'm surprised almost frustrated that the Xbox team think they can keep it a secret.
Last year their entire E3 got leaked and I've got a feeling it will happen again this year.
So just present them flops already MS.

I'm sold.
They have done way better in the last year especially in regards to hardware.
Microsoft can word things anyway they want. It doesn't mean there won't be a future Xbox that's much more powerful than Scorpio, to rival the inevitable PS5.
Technology is continuing to advance, despite smaller process nodes becoming more difficult to do.

Also relevant:
Microsoft PR can talk all they want about gaming 'Beyond Generations'. But it's pretty clear there can and most likely will be another Xbox beyond Scorpio.

Seriously what is so confusing.

I imagine Scorpio's successor will have the same cross-gen overlap as Scorpio with XBO when it launches though, so you'll still get concerned people questioning whether it is truly a new generationMicrosoft can word things anyway they want.

Yep, no doubt that'll happen.
False equivalency. They unveiled the PS4 in February and see what happened.

But who said otherwise?
Doubt this will happen since Sony has rights to the Marketing of Destiny +.

Who is saying that Microsoft said that Scorpio would be their last console?

How on earth are people still confused?
Scorpio is going to be the top of the line Xbox
"scorpio 2" will then come and be the top of the line continuing with backwards/forwards compatability.
Eventually OG Xbox one will be left behind leaving Scorpio 1 and 2 being the compatible current gen at the time....

Well some people here believe that MS isn't putting as much effort. This year their E3 show floor is much smaller than previous years. But that's really not indicative of anything as I'm sure they will have scorpios in other 3rd party booths.
They aren't leaving this industry.

None of this is confirmed. You're making a lot of assumptions.

The same guy/s who leaked the MS Briefing schedule, could have leaked the Sony Briefing too. But they refused, which is sad.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
It's true that none of it is confirmed but it's not an entirely unreasonable assumption, either. This strategy would certainly play to Microsoft's strengths. Whether it results in marketplace confusion about what games play on which systems is something else altogether, but I don't see that as an unsurmountable hurdle.
The real questions are how it lines up with third party development strategies, and whether a competitor could do something disruptive enough with a new generation to throw a wrench in the works. It seems like every period of history in the console industry has an interesting story to tell, and this one promises to be very interesting indeed.

I hope not. If there are any real good "oh shit" moments planned I don't want them spoiled.

It's plausible but far from confirmed yet some are going on like it's a certainty. None of us know for sure if this is a PS4 Pro like device or a shift to consoles that straddle generations.
If they do the latter I imagine they do away with the Xbox One branding entirely and the platform just becomes Xbox with maybe a year appended to each console. All games are Xbox games with a fairly easy to understand notice along the lines of "requires Xbox 20xx or newer" on the front.
But I don't know if they're brave enough to do this! Making a souped up Xbox One is the safe option.

They didn't really leak it, Microsoft accidentally put all the announcement on the press website early lol.

The difference is that Sony unveiled pretty much the whole lineup in February. Ms focused on the system in may, to talk about the games at e3 and it backfired.
But then again, even on xbone reveal Ms announced Forza 5,Quantum Break, Madden, Fifa and Cod Ghosts but still got shunned as TV TV TV TV...
I don't recall that.
Perhaps more importantly, there's essentially zero difference between what they'd do this year one way or another given that they've already committed to Xbox One support for all Scorpio titles initially. They can fully intend to move beyond generational incompatibility this year and change their mind down the road, or follow through.
We won't actually know until the console after Scorpio comes out.

Plans may always change, but it has been stated time and time again that continous back compat like a pc has is what they are planning. Eventually older hardware will become obsolete, obviously. It is not a lot of assumptions at all, imo, and the only plausible way forward given they stick to their words. Naming scheme is another thing entirely, but they have been very clear about their purpose.
What other possibilities do you suggest?
Suddenly there's a lot of positivity here, it's kind of refreshing. Playground games second team would be an obvious possibility for making exclusive games for Xbox, given their relationship and the lack of other studios.
Splinter cell was also a fun thought!
