Announce at $399 = Good press.
vs.
Leak at $499, then announce at $399 = Good press?
I don't get the idea that this is a ruse. What would it accomplish?
Nothing beside testing the water
We'll see

Microsoft is reading this right now and is gonna change it to $399. Mark my words.
Most Xbox games come to PC right?
You start at $299 and add a dollar for every minute the conference goes on till they announce the price.
"We have a product for people with only one job, it's called Xbox One."
Exactly. If MS had to release Scorpio at $499, this is exactly how they'd do it. You don't save that kind of negative shock for the presentation.Seeing too many of these "definitely $399 now" responses makes me realize that being a part of this community doesn't mean the average dedicated gamer is informed or that smart about their hobby.
This is Geoff and the way he manages his relationships with those in the gaming industry is very precise.
MS asked him to announce this hypekiller in advance. Geoff hedged his wording in case MS got cold feet over the negative reaction.
You really should pay attention to how he talks to people in the industry. The only time he ever put anyone on full blast was Konami because it was extremely safe to do so.
This guy will never step out of line in order to maintain his industry connections.
Im not convinced, PRO released LAST YEAR at $399. a little bigger APU on Scorpio shouldn't cost MS $100 more. No Vega, no Zen ..upclocked Jag with 40CU GPU.
Scorpio is gonna be $399, Im certain MS isnt dumb to release it at more than that.
Well, you can, but I don't think it's gonna sell well at $500.
PS3 all over again.
Don Mattrick : "we have a product for people who can't get online, it's called Xbox 360"
Sony should be DOA based on this

Geoff is doing this because Konami going to showcase Metal Gear Survive on Microsoft stage lol.
Everyone said Trump was unelectable but that happened. Fake News.
Geoff, I don't know what image you're trying to portray here...you're kinda coming off as an ass, which isn't how you usually are. Makes me believe you're actually working with MS to put people off before the conference.
You have to also factor the ram increase and cooling solution. Those are things that make it different from pro. Which is an added cost.
We're some of you expecting this thing to suddenly turn the tides and gain maketshare over PS4, or hell, even the base Xbox One?

Yeah because $499 is outrageous
How is making more confusing abbreviations brilliant?Abbreviation would be Xb-O-X, XBOX. It's brilliant.
Why would Geoff all of a sudden decide that today is the day he wants people to stop listening to him for the rest of his career? I thought it was $399 when it was just a Tweet, because people make guesses like that all the time. But he keeps reiterating it. And anybody who doesn't work for MS has no reason to damage their own credibility for the sake of manufacturing $399 into some kind of supposed shocker.I think he said 499 so when MS announce the real price at 399 everybody is going to go nuts.
Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.
ok people, how much will this be in your countries??
in Mexico a Switch was $10'000 pesos with is outrageous, a fucking joke
a $599 SKU in mexiko today will easily be nearing the $20'000 pesos.
there are families that live 3 months with that money in Mexico.
RAM pricing has not really gone down lately, and Scorpio is using DDR5 RAM.12 months later and 4 extra gigs of ram should be the same price?
I keep saying this....look at any pre built PC with the same specs as each other except the ram is 8 vs 12. Watch the price differences you find.
At a minimum I expected 450. For me I hope its a marketing ploy and its 399.
This thing is a step above the Pro. Even 12 months later.
What if.....a last minute twist they call this their next gen system. That might make $499 easier to swallow.
Everybody else coming up with some theories, might as well throw in mine.
That's right just like Dom said about the 360
