I don't think $500 is that much money to be honest. Don't get the controversy really...It's a pretty beefy upgraded X1.

Xbox One X it is.
Nope have not heard what configurations are -- very possible it has Elite controller in it which softens the price.

I mean, do you think Geoff is lying?

It's gotta be Xbox One X. Because they still want people to know that it's tied to the Xbox One.

Have their been any rumours about a modular design for the Scorpio?

If it's worth it, $499 won't stop me. Hell I'm ready for Microsoft to go all out and make the best console they possibly can for $599.
Remember the elite controller for $150? That was sold out for months.

LOL! Never fails to nail it.

i think you're onto something there
There are plenty of people that think otherwise.
Yeah, this was an absolutely intentional leak so they could gauge reaction. I have never, ever, seen Geoff spill something on twitter like that because he's such a huge industry guy with access.
At most, if he had gotten this info from sources, his tweet would have read something like "big surprises in store at the Xbox presser today, can't wait to see everyone's reaction!"
So yeah, intentional leak, with Geoff probably getting permission from Microsoft to send it out lol

Gives them branding consistency with Windows 10. Also fits speculation that the machine runs on Windows 10 S, a version of their OS that is limited to app store installs.

Thanks Geoff, pretty cool of you to come in here and post. I'm guessing you are pretty busy with all the e3 stuff.

Xbox One X is an awful name.
Its abbreviation would be hugs and kisses.

I fail to see a problem with the price given the power it's supposed to have.

Dorito Pope is all about the hype now. He's giving MS a bit of an assist here so they can come in later and announce $399 or $449 (the price it was always going to be) and they can look extra good and fans will be hyped as hell.
I don't think people did
I was optimistically hoping for 449 tho
I think that price point would be perfect
(wink) (wink) Major Nelson & Phil Spencer (wink) (wink)
Xbonx is such a hilarious name, i'll be disappointed if it's not that one now, damn you Y2Kev!
Very interesting. I was hoping for 399. However depending on the configuration and what is actually shown today, 499 might still work. (For me at least)

Everyone with these drawn out theories about MS and Geoff.
If it is not $499 (which I don't think it is, I could build a more powerful PC for $499 than the Scorpio) then it is simply a matter of MS rehearsing with the wrong price to throw off would be leakers, which is not the first time this would have happened at E3.

Well aren't you just the outlier in this thread.
I'd probably abbreviate it as XBX though personally.

If this was a new gen console with it's own exclusives, then I can somewhat understand the price, but it's too much for a mid-gen refresh. I hope this is just a marketing stunt, but I feel it's not.

499 with an elite controller would be good

This.
$500 ain't bad.
$650 is likely in Canada, though
we don't deal in 50s my dude, that's 700 to us

...lacks reading comprehension.
Typically you get a list of questions that you can't ask when conducting an interview.
Hard to say, we will see. Lots of great games to see for sure -- question is if they will look sufficiently different than what we are playing today.

Hopefully the price has some flexibility and has been marked up to $499 but really comes in lower.
For UK and Europe a straight conversion from $499 with VAT would be £469 and 535. Back in 2013 Xbox One was announced at $499 499 £429. Unfortunately Europe has around 20% VAT the has slipped towards the dollar and even the £ has slipped due to Brexit.
If there's a £430-450 and 500 price announced along side $499 you can bet the US price has been marked up a little or MS is taking a hit. Sony have managed to keep the PS4 Pro since launch in Europe/UK competitive compared to what the usual conversion with VAT should be.
Announcing 535-550 and £470 would kill it over here but I guess mainland Europe don't care much so this niche premium Xbox product can make the European eyes water if it must..

Abbreviation would be Xb-O-X, XBOX. It's brilliant.
Spencer announced the $499 price of Xbox One, not Mattrick. Mattrick was final speaker of "TV TV Sports Sports" in the black tent unveil event, while Spencer finished E3 2013 keynote.
