Phil's been very clear there's no point in showing or revealing Scorpio unless they had "the games" to show it off. So I'd expect it to be just as game heavy as any other E3.

They have actually done Sunday before, namely for the Kinect announcement.

Well, i'm happy it's a Sunday. Gives me enough time to prepare for it and watch it properly on a big screen. Instead of a Monday when i work and not supposed to look for videogames stuff at work.
Should have announced it yesterday.

Can't wait to finally see what Project Scorpio is all about. Kind of bummed that they didn't opt to do an early reveal with more details at E3, but oh well...

I think Xbox 4K is the most logical name.
It brings the numbering system back to normal and they can then name the console after that Xbox 5.

Missed opportunity tbh. Stinkles and the Major should be ashamed.

Sunday? That is fucking awesome!
Wonder if it will be longer than the normal 90 minutes if they don't have to schedule it around live TV? Then again, 90+ minutes to show off about 6 games.....

Thats is bad marketing as the Xbox 720 with the first games being 720p.
Calling your console 4K is waiting for a problem when one dev doesnt hit 4K or wants 1080p.
haha, yeah... well, maybe for australians.

Hmm... I'd like that idea more if it didn't seem to conflict with all of their marketing for the Xbox One S. I don't think the name can rely on the inclusion of 4K. I'd normally say something like "Xbox Pro", but Sony swooped in on that one already.
All I've got is "Xbox... something", but I don't think they'll put a number on it.

Xbox 4S: Native or Otherwise it does 4K Day One Edition
How would that help them avoid those people? The show doesn't open till Tuesday.

Elite?

Ok, fuck it, I've got one! Xbox Infinite.
It plays off of their strange use of numbers and feeds into their marketing talk about "consoles beyond generations".
I made this post before I saw your reply! I'd say elite if they hadn't already burned that with the Xbox One as well.

Well, I expect half of the conference to be about Scorpio and the wonders of native 4k, high res VR and a severe absence of new games. Probably a CGI trailer of an interesting game with 50% chance of being cancelled.
Conferences are not part of E3. You have to be invited for those
It's already 115 days in Australia, though.
lol thanks, good to know. No shit why Ive made so many timezones bugs when coding

Ugh, they're waiting until E3 to unveil Scorpio :l
Was hoping they would do an event beforehand to talk about it and have E3 for only games. Makes me worried for what games they'll be showing at their E3 conference.

Does Sony's conference not interest you?

Announcing it this early.
Ms really like to forget there is 12 months in a year and not the last 4 where the majority of their games come out now.
So after halo wars 2 nothing else from ms until e3?

SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
Yeah but i wonder if they thought people would get confused and turn up anyway on the Monday.
Scale..... oh wait your right.
In either case, I expect the reaction from people will be "There are games here, but I can play those on my existing Xbox One and I can't tell the visual difference on this stream".
They did that with Xbox One S last year. I'd rather have on big blow out conference.
I'm sure they'll be leaks before hand tho.

Dawn of the Scorpio? Hope it's along the lines of XB1 S in design and has a cool name, unlike PS4 Pro. Codenames are always way better

Timezones suck.
More negativity please.
