Sony's gotta be considering a spec upgrade for the Neo. The difference between the Scorpio and the Neo sounds very substantial.
i feel like xbox 1.5 rumours have been around longer than ps4k.I honestly wonder what Microsoft expects of something like an Xbox 1.5 and how they'll respond if it fails to meet their expectations.
Are they expecting it to reinvigorate the brand and boost sales, or are they doing it solely because Sony is doing the same thing and they feel like they have to compete?

So IF I'm getting this right:
XB1 Slim this year...
XB1.5 Next Year ( not a new generation but 1.5 like PS4K )...
Yeah this seems more reasonable than starting a complete new generation in 2017.
I'm not sure I agree. It comes down to software ultimately. Being able to use a device on both platforms isn't worth much if there's not good software and games to drive that. Also iirc Sony didn't rule out the possibility of PSVR PC support right?

i mean we don't even know what the spec difference is so to say it's substantial is odd.
So basically Microsoft is taking Valve's failure of the Steambox, infuse it with their brand. And ride the money route home. Good idea
The possible die shot leaks came out and some people say the cores don't look that big.I can guarantee you it won't be Zen.
Jaguar was at the low-end of the AMD CPU portfolio even at the time of the consoles' release, it's a netbook CPU architecture while Zen will be a desktop CPU architecture, said to be on par with Intel's Broadwell/Skylake, targeting high-end users. Not feasible in 2017 for consoles by any stretch of the imagination.
They call it Xbox One Slim but i gonna call it Xbox One Normal Size.
This might be the last time I own a console.
I'll enjoy these machines until the new ones are announced, and then I'll sell them off and upgrade my PC.
I would have stayed with one of the manufacturers if they had stuck to a regular 5 year cycle, but with both of them going to 2/3 year increments there is just no point for me to have a console.

We don't know that. It has to be substantial to support rift.
Very awesome. I'll definitely be going the route of buying new consoles rather than keeping my PC up to date. Wish it was ready this year, but I'll be there day one for sure.
Eh.. The Xbox One was The Homer. The Scorpio sounds like a welcome course correction for the Xbox brand.

https://twitter.com/jasonschreier/status/735492444490485761The most interesting question in gaming for the next few years will be how developers react to iterative consoles. Already hearing grumbling
How does this make you want to switch from PC to Xbox? If anything i'd think it would be the other way around. Especially with the Xbox library basically all coming to PC.
Obviously. I was speaking based on the rumored Neo specs and this Scorpion oculus support stuff.
So iterative consoles are the future atleast for now.
If XB 1.5 launches next year, that means they can go with a ZEN + VEGA combo, but we shall see, it's possible that such a combo might require too much power-draw and too heavy a price point for a console, but it will be interesting to know how it pans out.So IF I'm getting this right:
XB1 Slim this year...

It's nice to want things.I hope people now get used to the idea of iterative consoles and we don't go through the same song and dance we in the NEO threads

Developers am cry.
Its Complicated, why do you care?
And to think, people believed Spencer's PR speak.
If the Oculus thing is true, PSVR just got quite the slap in the face, since it makes much more sense to get a Rift, which works on PC and Xbox One instead of a VR device that only works on the PS4.
Soooooooooooooooo, obviously i think we need to take an actual look at these iterative consoles before properly judge them, but i dont really like how this sounds.
If the cost of each iteration is going to be the same as a normal console, i dont know why any of you would be eager to see this happen.
