Placeholder imo, i would bet on Xbox 2 or Xbox 10 or some bullshit name like Xbox All in One.

 

[topplehat]

Hoping they would change the name. "Scorpio" sounds too "exxxxtrreeeeeeme"

 

[Twookie]

Scorpio is a cool name, I can dig that.

 

[HighResTomato]

Xbox Sodium

 

[Gaius]

XBOX
XBOX 360
XBOX ONE
XBOX Scorpio

Well they sure don't follow any naming pattern. The "Scorpio" name sounds a tad edgy for me (to put it lightly) so i'll believe it when i see it.

 

[LotusHD]

It's not a good name imo, but hey, we're used to it, so whatever. Hope it doesn't manage to confuse people in the future...

 

[Alexious]

Makes sense

They wouldn't be going all in on the ♏️ emojis and scorpions otherwise. We've all been calling it that for a year anyway.

Exactly. I actually remember that many asked Phil if they could call the final console Scorpio, but he said it wouldn't be the case. Perhaps they changed their minds, though, considering people have called it that for a year and liked it so far.

 

[Reversed]

Logo should have been simpler.

Also I dig the "Xbox | [anything]" since it gets open for more products.

 

[BigTnaples]

Interesting.


Did not really expect them to keep the Scorpio branding.


Curious to see if they will use any type of Scorpion logo or anything similar.

 

[gamz]

Fucking love it if true. Perfect name!

 

[ClosingADoor]

Bit strange they don't have a picture of the actual console in it then. Looks like a placeholder, but they could just stick with the Scorpio name. Xbox 10 sounds more likely to me though.

 

[Vinc]

I guess the Xbox game cases will just say Xbox now... or "One / Scorpio", but hopefully they just go with Xbox.

Looking forward to seeing how they market it.

 

[Nightbird]

It has been called Scorpio for a year now, it was the best thing to do.

And yes, I know about codenames, but Scorpio was a good name anyway.

 

[Kyoufu]

XBOX ONE ELITE is better and makes more sense

But Xbox One Elite is already a thing:

[Mashin Haters]

sounds like it would be a name for console in the 90s

 

[bud23]

Proyect Scorpio sounds nice

Xbox Scorpio is an awful name

But after WiiU, Xbox ONE and Ps4 PRO, what do i know?

 

[Q8D3vil]

Elite or Ultimate sounded better marketing wise.
Scorpio is a cool codename, but it will create confusion.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Why do they have the newsletter that reveals the name, but show only a chip?

 

[AmyS]

Xbox codenames -- retail names:

Project Midway - XBOX

Xenon - Xbox 360

Durango - Xbox One

Project Scorpio - Xbox Scorpio

niiiice.

So happy they kept the codename, Scorpio is badass.

 

[Gaspard]

Man I wish Neo did the same

 

[Diprosalic]

The scorpio name is ultra cheesy and says nothing at all. Not even good to pronounce.

One, 360, Pro, Switch at least have an idea behind their names. God help them if they put actual scorpion iconography on there.

I was happy with almost every decision they made with this device until today. Price and name are just bad.

 

[iMax]

Those are the same materials from last year and the DF reveal, right down to the image.

 

[theWB27]

Elite or Ultimate sounded better marketing wise.
Scorpio is a cool codename, but it will create confusion.

You think naming a new console after an old one like Elite wouldn't be confusing?

 

[LotusHD]

It has been called Scorpio for a year now, it was the best thing to do.

And yes, I know about codenames, but Scorpio was a good name anyway.

Eh, at least the PS4 Neo codename still had PS4 in its title, so I could understand why people wanted that codename to stick. This on the other hand... I don't get why people like it.

 

[GinoFelino]

Xbox 10 Scorpio

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I fear a WiiU situation coming now.

It should've just been called XB1 Pro, Elite, Plus, Ultimate etc. Something like that.

 

[Alpende]

I'm not sure I like the name that much. It sounds weird for a console.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Deeply unimaginative marketing department. I mean, no surprise from the Genius Pen that brought us "The One stands for All In One, numbers are meaningless!" and "Skip 9 to 10 because that is our power".

I guess they just got so used to saying it over the last couple years that they just went "Why not." They're more in love with getting to repeat WORLDS MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE over and over, hoping thats going to turn the tide.

 

[Father_Brain]

Didn't think they'd keep the name. Surprised.

 

[le.phat]

Sounds like a marketing nightmare, unless they really are ready to leave the Xbox one behind.

 

[Spiritwalker]

Well it's better than Xbox One.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Not bad. I wish the PS4 pro would've been called PS4 neo

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Wait people actually dig this?
Eh, different tastes and all that stuff I guess.

 

[User123456]

sounds like it would be a name for console in the 90s

That's exactly why I dig it! Hopefully the design matches that theme as well, I'm tired of the nondescript black boxes.

 

[luminous]

Sounds gamer af

 

[bud23]

No fucking way it's Xbox Scorpio, I dont believe it

 

[Space_nut]

Awesome

 

[Christocolus]

I think the name is great.

 

[Auctopus]

Make sense, why spend a year associating a name with a product to then dump it for something else?

 

[MrS]

Another nonsense naming decision if true. Not as bad as naming your third console Xbox One though.

 

[Garlador]

For $499 it should be called Xbox Capricorn tbh.

Underrated post.

 

[Karspankey]

XBOX Scorpipro

 

[wachie]

They fucked up on the pricing and name. What a blowout.

 

[Nere]

I don't mind but is it okey for Geoff to leak everything? I mean he leaked the name, the price... hope microsoft won't hate him after this. Oh well he is a professional he knows what he is doing probably.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Did the new generation just start this year?

 

[forknknife]

But Xbox One Elite is already a thing:

https://www.theverge.com/2015/11/23/9781922/microsoft-xbox-one-elite-console-review-price

Ah shit! Why would they do that?

 

[iMax]

For what it's worth, that typeface is the same used on the Best Buy Canada website for pretty much everything else.

I think it's just a newsletter.

 

[Xbox Scorpio]

No fucking way it's Xbox Scorpio, I dont believe it

 

[Tregard]

I wonder if the box will have a Scorpio symbol on it

 

[karma2578]

I'm guessing placeholder, it would have a picture of the box instead of the chip if final imo
