too expensive.......
Who is willing to bet that Kanye West 'Power' will play at some point at the conference.
maybe it's $499 with a the elite controller and xbox live pass thrown in.
Honest question - can you build a PC that does 4K for $500?
Not to mention the fact the Xbox already comes with a controller and operating system packed in.
Price of announced hardware =/= existence of an unannounced game
They have the S for that. It's just like you guys have been sleeping the last year.
This is not targeting the mass market. Wake up.
That's my logic saying revealing the price of hardware doesn't take away an engineers tmr in the spotlight.
Look at post in this thread people are shiting on Geoff, he was even called a cunt. I would probaly be acting the same.more of what? that tweet makes him look obnoxious
People who want to upgrade.
We have to think this is not supposed to blow the doors off. Of course MS and Sony would love to sell them like the base units but the reality is PS4 Pro has about 20-30% sales of PS4 last I looked. MS might try for more.
Ultimately this is for those who want to upgrade. Xbox One came out a little weak, and there's 4k televisions becoming the norm. 2017 and beyond, 720-900p isn't going to cut it for some. These new machines can cater for those and stop people looking over to PC and partially leaving the ecosystem. It just keeps some people up with the times and avoids the upheaval of a whole new system and blank slate every five years.
Last gen started to go stale around 2010. This keeps things interesting for a while longer.
I just don't understand why Microsoft does the things that it does, Nintendo and Sony I can understand even when I don't agree with the decisions at all but I still understand at the core why they are doing that but with Microsoft what they do just doesn't make sense to me. Yes the XB1 wasn't as powerful as the PS4 and they got mocked for that early on but Scropio is TOO powerful and its coming out way to late to make a difference at the price they want it for.
He said that he is not releasing information on games due to his respect for devs that worked hard on the games, but he gives two fucks about all the people that worked hard on the hardware and created the system and that them showing it and announcing the price was their moment.
Specs aren't important if there are no compelling games to play on the console. Excited to see what Xbox has in store and what games they announce.Well Scorpio >Pro
I believe Geoff and $499, but why did he feel the need to announce it? What possessed him to do it?
In retrospect of his tweet, whether it's right or wrong, I'm kind of disappointed he posted it. He is a guy who does a bunch of hosting at E3 and tries to lock down exclusive information so he should know that posting this price point ahead of time deflates hype for an upcoming show.
I'm still not sure why he posted this unless it was intended to be a deflection and then he still doesn't look good.
He used to be funnier.
Microsoft does not care about GAF. As far as I can tell, this is the only community that really sold itself on the $399 narrative. Thus, it's the only one that will react negatively to $499. Everyone else will be unsurprised, namely because that's what most people forecasted based on the internals.
They're not going to take a 20% reduction in revenue just to please one niche fan community that already hates them.
Then why make it? Why waste money on R&D for a console that will sell less than the original (if 500)? They'll just launch one because Sony did it?Jeez, why are so many people in denial. Scorpio wasn't going to be the savior for MS. They lost this gen since the beginning. It's the games people should be worried about, not the price of the console in my opinion.
What if it were 200% more powerful at $1000? Just because it can justify the price doesn't mean it's priced to sell.At the end it's 50% more powerful, 100 dollars more is nothing compared to what you get in Pro for 100 less.
What is it with so many dudes on Twitter saying a PC with the same specs as the Scorpio would cost over a grand?
Why are people upset with Geoff? Seems like he's just doing his job.
What if Geoff told you the price of the unannounced game was $60?Fair, so if it was a major unannounced feature of an announced game it would be cool to leak then?
Why are people upset with Geoff? Seems like he's just doing his job.
Crushed by PS4? Why do you compare it to ps4? At least compare it to ps4 pro. Its a Premium product. Microsoft never wanted to sell gangbusters with this. They want to Change the mindset. People should stop thinking that Xbox is "weak".
