Honestly, if we're going to get it it's going to be pretty bare bones.

Knowing MS they probably won't even mention the 6TF number. They will have a dev say "equivalent of 10TF of power!" or something like that.
I mean, they're the ones who gave us 6TF in the first place.
I would fully expect them talk about it at length because they are trying to get the people who actually care about the nbers on their side.

Seriously. I've watched that damn trailer so many times now, like if I watch it just one more time I'm going to see something that I'm not supposed to see that the people who put it together somehow missed
Still, it was a great decision. Can you just imagine NOT showing or saying something, and just leave people to speculate on whether the damn thing even exists, and whether it will truly be the rumored 6TF stuff that we saw prior to E3?
I read its the most watched video on Pornhub.
You can't expect to be able to toy with their emotions and not suffer the consequences, Frank.

I don't think it should be allowed to make a speculation/rumor/leak thread based on another poster's post.
Or maybe just not stinkles's's's's

What are you wearing? I'll make a thread in OT.
What consequences? A GAF thread? Oh no!
"Slow day" = game download speeds unimproved on Scorpio confirmed. Damnit.
It seems my sarcasm was on the subtle side.
at least acknowledge my A+ cougar joke

By the time Scorpio drops next year, I suspect it will be positioned as a next-gen console. The gap between it and the Bone seems took far to maintain compatibility for more than a year or 2. You'll either be holding back the Scorpio or offering a terrible experience to Bone users.

this year!
I get an eye twitch every time I see this debunked statement. Phil has already stated Scorpio will be using PC 4K assets and features. As far as a "game design" being the argument. I have yet to see recent games that are so advanced on PC that it can't be done on PS4/Xb1. Battlefield 1 is one the most advanced games out there and yes it can look better on pc, but the consoles version aren't much different from looks or gameplay standpoint. This isn't the 6th or 7th generation where there were polygon count, effects, memory, bandwidth limitations, etc. had an impact on core game design.

My reaction to this:
Impress me, Microsoft. I'll buy your console if you impress me.
Impress me, Microsoft. I'll buy your console if you impress me.
You jest but I will ride my thread into the depths of hell until I get an outright "it's still the same specs as before"
To be fair to them, the gaming industry tends to leave a month long news void between the second week of December and the second week of January, so they often go stir crazy.
With the way games are marketed these days as well, there's very little news even in the news season to boot.

I need to know if Stinkles was impressed by the price though.
Oh no it's using Jaguar isn't it?

399 or GTFO!! IMO
It'll be held back by the Xbox one, until it isn't.
You think they are going to make xbox one games forever? At some on they'll move to a new standard, and that's when Scorpio can prove its worth.

According to ms, xbox one games are = project scorpio games
Something along the lines devs already scale like they do for pc and this is something similar but for the xbox sdks.

I really hope this is the plan for both new consoles. It's a little unnerving that PS4 Pro still carries the "4". Hopefully it won't be cut short when/if PS5 is announced. Both systems should adopt a year naming scheme imo. So "PlayStation 2016" rather than "Ps4 pro".
Crying due to your gross misunderstanding of math.
The PS4 Pro will have exactly the same lifespan as the PS4. Nothing unnerving about that, everyone knew what they were getting into long before its release.

Yeah, but at some point we'll all want games to have gameplay systems that simply cant work on existing hardware. You can scale art assests, but you cant scale physics or AI complexity without gimping the experience, for example.

Nah, screw that. It's called the PS4 Pro, it should be cut short. When the PS5 comes out, they should give developers two options:
- Cross-gen, where they support the PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5 or
- PS5 only
