What do you know!!
It has to be 399 if they want it to succeed, if it's 499 or higher than it's in big trouble.If we are to guess the Xbox One will be $199 by Christmas there is no way MS can justify a $400 gap between the two systems.
Scorpio will be $399.
Exactly but it won't be less than 400,I really don't see how this thing is going to push very many units at retail if the price is expensive. Sitting side-by-side with a < $250 choice that plays the same games, not many people are going to buy the expensive Scorpio. Especially not parents buying one for their kids or their family. It's an adult enthusiast product. Most of the people that care enough about graphical quality to appreciate the system's capabilities would probably build a gaming PC instead. I just don't see anything bigger than a tiny niche for this product.
The sad part is holds true for any price range. Most people are going to feel this way about the Scorpio whether it's $450 or $700. That's not really speculation at all either. It's what's going to happen unless the device happens to have a bunch of surprising, amazing features or games that we haven't considered yet.
It's going to have to be $400 or less to compete.
their are also a lot of people who switch platforms based on performance (look at everyone who switched from xbox 360 to ps4 this gen)
Seriously, until now Zen was downright utopic but with the latest tweets things spun out of control so whatever. Still sounds like a waste to me.
DF did a good job with the Pro, but that's when they had actual games to test and do their pixel and FPS counting and whatnot.
Speculation based on numbers only goes so far IMHO
I don't think most people switched between of the slight performance advantage of the PS4 over X1. Most people switched because of MS's poor messaging initially and launch price point ($399 vs $499).
Ps4 pro not ps4. I see to accelerate PS5 coming if Scorpio will gain too much ground in US.

Time to throw down my final predictions:
CPU: 8 physical Zen cores, clocked between 2.4 and 2.8 ghz.
GPU: Vega based. I think the GPU will come in slightly over 6TF, I'm guessing at least 6.1. 48-56 CUs, clocked between 900-1000mhz.
RAM: I think total RAM will be 16GB, with 4GB of DDR3/4 for OS and apps.
Price: I expect this to be revealed at a later time. My guess is $450.
It will be very interesting to learn more about MS's design choices for Scorpio.

Microsoft needs to give me a reason why I - as a gamer- should buy an Xbox Scorpio when I got a PC with a 1080 in it.
Just one. Name it. I used to be a huge xbox fan...until I got enough money to buy a decent pc
To this date no-one has convinced me that the only CPU change we get in 4 years is an upclock to the current CPU. No way it stays Jaguar. I just can't see it.
