So just HOW BIG is this upgrade?
Is it it big enough to consider it the start of a new gen?

Specs aren't everything. It's Specs + Price + Availability that matters. For example a $600 console really would not be competing with a traditional console. It'd be competing with PCs.

Like who in the right mind would buy an x1 or s now? Killed them sales just to get a pop
Why are people talking about the price of NVidia cards?
It will use a custom AMD chip. The 5.5 TF RX 480 is only $199.
...lol. The Neo rumors came out AFTER the Microsoft rumors.

Sweet. All that power that won't get put into the games because they have to run on the shitty old Xbone so you'll really only get games running at 4K for that 4K TV you don't have and then it'll be out of date in two years time when the Xbox Scorpio One Two comes out (after being rumoured a few months before that E3).

It might be cheaper than expected given it could be up to a year and a half away. Sounds good so far though specs wise.
Maybe this has already been asked/answered, but is pushing 4K gaming really a good idea?
If everybody is excited about developers having the power to do more with games, to achieve better graphical fidelity, to have higher frame rates, won't pushing the resolution to 4K really hinder a lot of that ability?
PC gamers, does 4K gaming with true increases in all of these areas seem realistic given the 6 TF figure?

Only one of those rumours was put in the hands of developers as of two month's ago.

VR? I found their phrasing very strange. Scorpio is necessary for Oculus, but all games are compatible?

LOL at Kaz, but interested to see Sony's response, if any, during their conference

I think Microsoft revealed their hand too early. All Sony has to do is up clock their Polaris apu in neo and it'll be an even race again.

What. They just announced play everywhere
Super neat to see them actually talk about this, I really expected it to come later. That said, probably not in for one. With their push for exclusives to make it to Windows too as well as cross play on some games (like Gears) the incentive for me to buy their dedicated hardware just isn't there.
4k 30fps, is stupid. I hope that's not what Sony/MS are pushing.
If PS4K comes out this year, it will be interesting.. Leaves the door open to release yet another updated console.
Choice, I guess.

Surprised it is so far off. Looks like if you've waited this long to get an Xbox you might as well wait longer. With the connectivity to Win 10 and the Scorpio coming there is no reason to jump the gun and run out to get a One or One S.
Now to see what Nintendo and Sony are bringing to compete

What is the probability that this thing will be under $500?

Some people don't like PC gaming for whatever reason..nothing will change that for them.
If someone wanted to play games for the next 16 months before this new thing comes out?
Eventually I assume some regular Xbox One will get phased out, but it'll take a long time.
But IMO this is a better shift. The painful generational shift during this last one was the worst we have ever seen. Crossplatform is only just being phased out, the ridiculous amounts of remasters, the regression on the OS side and features that needed to be re-implemented, etc. Avoiding that reset is the right choice. There was a lot of fear last gen from publishers that audiences would not show up for another generation, and this avoids that.

We need to adjust, traditional generation no more. MS killed it.

Wow, full on 6TF. Awesome. I'll be there day one! Loving the messaging they had. Really seems like a new Xbox (console and culture).
Lead the way Phil!

The rift has its own store. I'm going to bet ms will have their own headset or they will partner with a Samsung.

So what type of RAM would allow speeds that fast? DDR4?

This is so bizarre. Not sure what the console industry is aiming for, but what is the point of putting in all this effort on the XBox One S when you announce a much better console at the end?
Gamers want the best technology, they want the newest technology. All this is doing is dividing the audience, because who is going to want the S model when you can get a newer model a year later?

XBONE ONE S for those who were still waiting to jump in, with a nice new slim console and affordable price.
XBOX SCORPIO for those hardcore gamers who are going to probably replace their original XBOX ONE and want the absolute more powerful console on the market

This seems like a full on xbone successor now that it has flopped whereas sony is going the incremental smartphone approach. Pretty interesting. I think this will be too expensive to gain traction. The appetite for xbox isn't this big but it's interesting nonetheless.
Someone who wants to play the games between now and 18 months from now...
How is this a real question?
