If by insider you mean a self professed one on this forum then hahahahahahaI hope Phil knows this can't be right, because an insider said it's getting delayed... might as well announce that now.

I don't know what Phil's objective with this kind of tweet is?
Certainly not to sell more Xbox One's. To discourage people from buying a PS4 / Switch / PC? To hype up an existing Xbox fan base? Or is it just trolling for retweets?
As a department head, he's going to have a proud moment of playing a console in which he directed to creation. Let the guy enjoy his job and share it to the community.I don't know what Phil's objective with this kind of tweet is?

I think what he really meant was that it was quick to take current games and make it run on Scorpio. Allowing developers a lot of time to refine and improve games on Scorpio instead of focusing on making it playable. I don't think it was a very well worded tweet either way.
You'll have to expand on that. Because unless I have missed something, it's just a more powerful Xbox One.
Lttp Phil, I played mine way ahead of you, it's call PC.
What do you think Scorpio is?
The Scorpio is not just about the console itself. Scorpio's launch as a 'statment of intent' has the potential to 'reset' MS's intentions in regards to how they do business. More first party investments in new studios, less reliance on safe franchises ect.
Think outside the box, its not just about the power of the HW
Hope games scale automatically to the superior hardware, performance wise at least.

Uhm no ? the whole point of scorpio is better graphics..

Looking forward to seeing anything they publicly release about Scorpio.
After the lovely S, I'm really intrigued to see how this looks.
Is this just your own interpretation? How does Scorpio change anything?
They are aiming to boost interest to their brand with a high-end console aimed at the hardcore. They don't need Scorpio to divert their business strategy or branch out with new franchises. They should have done that years ago.
Are some people honestly thinking this will be a new dawn for Xbox and the entire Microsoft gaming division or something? Sounds like this is just wishful thinking, to be honest.
How is this a reset and invest in more first party studios? Some of us expect more from them since they've been in the game for 3 generations. Where's Banjo Kazooie Threeie?
That sounds like something you just made up. Especially the part investment and risky games.

But have you ever heard any department head at any large corporation tweet something like this? Apple, Sony, Nintendo, even other depts at MS.
This is more in line with like a start up company that does not strong industry connections yet that is trying to get attention. Attention of the rest of the industry. Attention of venture capital. Attention from potential partners etc. It just seems weird to me for head of Xbox to use twitter for this purpose.
Why not call them "Xbox One" games then? Seeing as Scorpio is supposed to be part of the XB1 family. It almost as if Spencer is being deliberately vague.Xbox One has plenty of them?
doing that automatically would mean every game would have to run at dynamic res or unlocked FPS, which generally speaking they can't mandate outside of encouraging first parties to do that.
Truly. Even the packaging was very impressively designed making it a joy to unbox. Small thing, but it really shows they paid a lot of attention to details.
Albert Penello seems to think this is the start to "something"

He's been waiting anxiously since 2013 to make a followup to his "We CREATED DirectX" post.
I think at this point fans are pinning all of their hopes and dreams onto Scorpio.
Wonder how that's going to work out for them when it turns out just to be a Xbox One Pro (which is basically the entire pitch for the device in the first place).
People seem to be misunderstanding so let me clarify...
I'm not saying Xbox WILL refocus their efforts in line with the Scorpio.
I was initially responding to a poster who essentially proclaimed 'i just care about the specs!'
But as we all know, without a real focus and real strategy the specs dont matter.
So i was challenging that person...there should be far more to consider in regards to what MS should be doing to align with the Scorpio launch that just better graphical fidelity. That won't help the Xbox brand in the slump it seems to be in now.
Why do you have to overcomplicate things? The guy is proud, he even says so in his post. He wanted to post it to the wider community. That's all.But have you ever heard any department head at any large corporation tweet something like this? Apple, Sony, Nintendo, even other depts at MS.

I guess the only other person I can think of who does this is Elon Musk. But he kind of runs his company like a start up too.

interesting that he emphasized playing great rather than looking great. maybe there will be exclusive Scorpio titles after all?

Uh that's really all MS is focused on.
