It being $500 would be a death sentence. They won't do that. It'll be $450 at most. More likely it'll be $400.

Jez confirmed it wasn't an April Fools joke earlier today. Shinobi just cemented the truth nail thru the roof.

Sony has the marketing deal so unlikely, unless there's some sort of loophole. They'll probably mention 600 times between this and E3 that it will be one of the 4K titles coming to Scorpio this year
Afaik, that was just a list of games coming this year that would be native 4K. The title of the article was worded to make it sound like it would be one of their showcase titles. I could be wrong tho

E3 starts early this yearNope
If we get a monster for $400 I won't complain either, don't fancy paying $500 needlessly

I've got a PS4 and Switch, so there's two XB1 options for me:
1) Scorpio has enough power to be worth the hype, I get one and buy all my multiplats on it.
2) Scorpio isn't enough of an upgrade to be interesting, I get an S near the end of the generation for $100-150 and play the few exclusives I'm interested in.
Really hope it turns out to be the first option. I like Microsoft's ecosystem more than Sony's, even though Sony usually has the games I prefer.

This is about Scorpio possibly being shown off soon. If you want to talk about what Microsoft should or shouldn't do to get you to buy this console, there's a thread specifically for that.

No way. They could do something like Destiny perfume but it ain't getting a gameplay reveal associated with ms. Nor are any of the other big third party titles with deals/exclusive Sony content.
But the one we have now is KI3.

While I love Forza, racing games always look good. I would have hoped they would show Shadow of War or another 3rd party game they have a marketing deal with.
However 4K at 60fps will be amazeballs.

No, we have killer instinct.

I thought about that but why list it as coming soon along with Crackdown 3, etc.

Shadow of War isn't exactly the most graphically stunning game anyway. Assassins Creed will be a good one to show off the hardware

Looks like it might be a gameplay reveal of FM7, not just screens.
I'm hype as fuck either way

Here's hoping it's more than just a Forza reveal with Scorpio gameplay. Specs would be great.

Oh my lanta!!! Next week is going to be intense for me!!
Aaaahhh i cant wait!
It makes a bit of sense for ms to use eurogamer as the one to talk about hardware/features as they do get a lot of traffic with all of the gamers who actually pay attention to this stuff.
I imagine an article with an interview and detailing the specs along with a video that will launch on the xbox website.
Next there will be a 2nd article more specific on the hardware and what it means for xbox games with some hypotheical guesses on 3rd party possibilities.
Maybe a 3rd article with a face off showing xbox one s vs xbox scorpio.
Price and date revealed at e3.
Thats my guess guys!

A huge thing for scorpio thats unannounced? Let the speculation be rampant and plentiful thy fellow gaffers.
Maybe my guess that scorpio will have a new core feature as part of it's design just like every previous Xbox console will be right.

It really depends on what Microsoft's goals for this console are, not ours, honestly. If they are fine with it being a niche powerhouse for a while until it slowly replaces the X1S, then launching at that price is fine, especially as it's still setting a power bar PS can't match. If on the other hand they want to try and rapidly establish a power advantage as a sort of do-over on this gen, the lower price is necessary. We haven't really heard anything but generic wait-and-see kind of messaging, so I'm curious if this debut will start giving us an idea, even if they don't mention the price.

A new game would be nice and I mean that with the best intentions. All this hardware talk is blind siding the real problem here.
Cool

$499 wasn't even a death sentence for the original Xbox One
and that console was not well received and had a cheaper AND better competitor
Xbox Scorpio launching at $499 would do fine.
You can always pack in games or cut the price later
The early adaptor will pay that price, if they get enough for their money
I said it numerous times and i will repeat myself.
we will very likely get 2 different skus with different price points
$499 for the more expensive one is totally fine
live will never be free. Its not going to push console sales and you just lose money while Sony still charges for it
Eh it kinda was. There's a reason they got rid of Kinect and dropped the price by a lot.

Ok, this was super fucking cool.
On topic: interesting to hear that the design is more compact than had been thought. I was honestly expecting an OG Xbox One style big box. They've had the 6TF target out there for a while, I'm legitimately interested in how efficient they've been in obtaining it. If we get an Xbox One S sized console with 6TF in the box and available for $499 or less, that's an incredible feat.

What's this? The options I mean.
At first, I'm like we know about all that then I saw KI3 I'm like plz fuck yes
