Why would they need to rehearse a price point portion? I mean, if you cant remember a price when giving a presentation, you should not be in this business.
The average consumer doesn't look at consoles as first place or second place machines. That's what fanboys think like. The average consumer will simply ask for the most powerful console. Which will be the Scorpio.
There is honestly no reason to let this leak.
Why is someone so "respected" willing to risk it all with a leak like this for internet fame? It's career suicide as he looses all trust and integrity.
Why would Microsoft market like this ? It's amateurish and a cheap shot.
I'm stumped it makes zero sense from both parties.
Maybe I'm feeling weirdly conspiratorial but why would Geoff of all people leak something like this? Isn't he's involved with the Microsoft presser? Microsoft testing the waters for a potential last minute change?
If this price is true then this thing is DOA.
Sounds like they leaked this to gain reaction online and will adjust price accordingly.
Can't believe all the people scoffing at $499.
Tons of people think the PS4 pro is worth it at $399 and it's a kind of a joke of an upgrade. I bought a PS4 pro, but I'll happily pay $100 more than that thing for a significantly more powerful machine.
Maybe if the PS4 pro had a UHD player. Based on current market prices for UHD players, that drive alone is worth the price difference.
Maybe they rehearsed at $499 because of leaks like this?
Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.
Did you see how they'll sell that price? I just can't imagine how they'd think Phil Spencer going on stage and saying 499 again would be a good idea.Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.
we really have to see games head to head. Whatever the pro is in terms of an upgrade games don't exactly look bad on it. Horizon is breathtaking.Can't believe all the people scoffing at $499.

If the PS4 Pro seems great at $400 and $500 is obscene for a much moire powerful machine with a UHD drive, then this clearly isn't for you. Then again, it's Microsoft, they can't seem to win around here.
Why would they? I dont get some of this.

I love how Geoff has been in here to restate it and people still don't believe him. Now we're on to "Geoff must be being deliberately mislead... For some reason" arguments.
I love a bit of wild denial. It reminds me of when MisterX tried to tell everybody that the reason why MS didn't tell ANYONE, not even their own developers, about the extra, secret GPU in the Xbox One was that they didn't want Sony to go out of business. This shit is gold. God I love E3 / new console reveals.
2 games already leaked today.Because last years show was completely leaked because of the rehearsal. Switching out a number to prevent this leak is nothing special. But of course it could also just be 499.
This is one of the most hilarious posts I've read all year. Thank you.

Why would they if it's been clear for a while that most people found 499 too high? They don't need reactions on a leak for that.Sounds like they leaked this to gain reaction online and will adjust price accordingly.
Well you see, someone put in the numbers from the teaser in Google and found an old magazine with a robot that cost 400 bucks. After that it was obvious that scorpio would be 399... 🙃You guys were literally mental thinking this was going to be $399.
Who thinks like that?
I'm sorry but if a $100 difference on a 400-500 piece of tech is the difference from insta-buy to not buying it, there are issues with your entire rational for the system.DOA. Not buying it. $449 was pushing it. $399 is an instat-buy.
I can already see it:Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.

Obviously this was intentionally leaked to avoid it being a disappointment during the conference.
They rehearse the entire show.
I should have added more words to that post to avoid getting snarky remarks. What I meant to say is the average consumer will ask the store employee what console to get for his or her child. The employee will most likely mention Scorpio as the new console and that it is the most powerful console. Now will that lead to a lot of pure sales? Maybe, probably not. But to assume consumers care about first or second place is dumb.This is one of the most hilarious posts I've read all year. Thank you.
That's pretty much what all people who weren't completely delusional were expecting right?
What if it's a fake rehearsal?
You're a good guy Geoff. Should help the trauma that's about to happen at the end of their conference.Guys, the price is $499 and that is what has been rehearsed.
