It says 4k on the chip, that proves it.

Xbox Project Scorpio Announced - 6TFlops, 320GB/s - Fall 2017

By announcing the Scorpio 18 months in advance Microsoft is essentially telling their customers to hold off and wait for something better.
I really don't follow the logic behind this announcement.

4 times as much power.
console generation is dead, this is beyond generations, smartphone future is a good description
About as powerful as a GTX1070 which is out now, ~$400.
I don't really believe this freakign 4k business unless the console will have an outrageously high price point.
In any case, interesting, but hardware never makes a console truely interesting as we saw with current gen. Software always does and since they're moving to having everything on win10 I have no interest

Something to keep in mind here is many developers most likely aren't going to improve the actual core assets of their games for this thing.
You are either going to get 4K or much higher settings, not both. There simply isn't enough power there.
For people that are playing on 1080p sets this will not visually make a huge difference, though I would hope that they would keep that in mind and perhaps allow you to decide between a higher resolution or a higher frame rate. If they are going to be offering PC like choices then they should commit.

Yea well MS clearly knows they are beat this generation, so they are going to take the loss on not selling consoles by announcing Scorpio. I'm just shocked they announced an Xbox Slim because Scorpio will also hurt those sales.

they are not directly comparable. Polaris is not in the market just yet. 1070/1080 will probably still be much faster especially since you can pair them with a proper CPU.
Good lord, if this is the case Im jumping back to the Xbox.
Great stuff, really great stuff.

I don't even know what this is. King of what?
The existing user base does not explain why you can't make a Scorpio exclusive game if you want to, not why you would or wouldn't want to in the first place. I do not get this eternal cross gen thing. Phones aren't consoles and phones get cut off faster than a six year cycle like consoles are currently on.

Microsoft pitched this as the "end of generations," which sounds like an iterative approach where hardware and software is compatible across iterations of the console.
Everyone out here telling Sony to update the Neo specs and I'm in the back waiting to find out what the NX even is let alone ask Nintendo to update the specs

It begins.
I'd imagine all it means is we will see resolutions greater than 1080 and up to 4k much like we have with games falling somewhere between 720 and 1080 this gen.
upscaled 4k lol
Sad, but true.. JRPGs are whats keeping me on consoles.
Nx might already be a generation behind.
Amazing to read back on how many people said they wouldn't announce it

Didn't Sony say that the Neo won't be at E3?

That's one sexy beast.
Also, by the time Scorpio is out we'll have 1280 GTX in our computers.
Amazing.
Being serious for a moment, i wonder if Sony's neo plans got MS to panic and make this announcement. All MS talked about were specs, which is very easy to do, it isn't until we have a machine in our hands that it means anything. This may be MS's attempt to try and kill some attention from the Neo. It is really odd to announce this far ahead of time when you are still trying to sell your current console.
I hope they both stay "projects" for a while and there is a huge back a forward between Sony and MS keeping upping the specs to beat one another until we have a monster better than any pc lol.
But yeah awesome news. Makes sens to me that they are moving forward with this and the buy one game and play anywhere feature makes it even better. I guess it means you basically have a "steam" library and you can play in any compatible Xbox box.

For people who don't want to wait 1.5 years to play games that are coming out soon?
You turn the details down.
The throughput suggested GDDR5X, which is the obvious choice.

Still don't know what to think. The vague descriptions didn't really answer any of my questions or concerns with this.
I was thinking about the slim but I'm not getting anything until we get more of an idea as to how this model is even going to work

Devs Ive talked to are unhappy about PS4.5 because its happening so fast, Sony demanding compatibility ASAP.
interesting

They're probably anticipating a Sony reveal and wanted to beat them to the punch and pose themselves as the leaders of innovation, with Sony 'trailing' behind looking like the copycats (when actually I think Neo started sooner right?). If they waited until after the Neo reveal then it would just reinforce the notion that they play catch up with ps4. Now, even when the Neo releases sooner, they'll be able to say to consumers "This was our idea."
Announcing it so early does put a damper on the current situation but I guess it was worth it to them to create that narrative. The S might be cheaper to produce for them as well, making it beneficial for them in the meantime. Hardware revisions are not only for the consumers benefit.
It's a gamble. I wonder how it will play out in the long term with people holding out for Scorpio instead of buying current offerings. They probably weighed their choices and thought it was a better plan than to let Sony pull further ahead.
Well, I want to get another Xbox One so that the kids can play on their own and not hog the family room, so I'll be getting an Xbox One S as soon as it comes out (August?). Next year, I'll get the Scorpio when it comes out and and I'll either sell my original Xbox One or move it to my office.

This console is a beast, but I think it will waste most of its power on rendering that 4k. So I'm kinda bummed about his last statement on 4k games.
Yeah, I don't really like the push for 4K. This would be a monster for a 1080p gaming but trying to push 4K isn't really going to result in much higher fidelity than we have now.
Thing is looking paltry. They also need to bring some sort of bc, because I don't feel like re buying games over, and over, or watching my library become obsolete.
