Via Wario

Same name was hinted at by Geoff Keighley:

 

[True Fire]

I can see it. But how do we know it isn't a placeholder?

 

[Byronic Hero]

They're sticking with the code name? Interesting.

 

[theWB27]

Good. I dig it.

 

[funkystudent]

Sure. Might as well.

Not surprised they are not going with "Xbox One: _____".

 

[VanCityGamer]

Interesting, Yeah...I received that email too and already posted it in the other thread.

 

[qko]

Doubling down on the Scorpio name makes me think it's gonna launch October 21 or 22.

 

[Xbox Scorpio]

 

[Palabragrís]

If they do, congrats to them. It's a very good name.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Xbox One?

More like Xbox GUN.

If they do, congrats to them. It's a very good name.

I wouldn't go that far. It's a meaningless word, stapled onto the Xbox name/

 

[Alienous]

Fitting. It'll be the only console that can run Just Cause 3 at 30fps.

Edit:
Wait, is Rico even called 'Scorpio' in Just Cause 3. I have no idea.

 

[Terbinator]

They're sticking with the code name? Interesting.

The best name.

Project Scorpio Xbox.

 

[Theorry]

Tom Warren also called it that.

[DecoReturns]

I hope so, I kinda dig the name Scorpio

 

[themagicalkitsune]

I called it, Xbox σκόρπιο

 

[Malo]

That's good, really good

🤔🤔

 

[Moggelicious]

I Will def. Buy Xbox pisces in the future!

 

[Mellahan]

I can see it. But how do we know it isn't a placeholder?

Look at the font/logo. A little too on-the-nose for placeholder.

 

[almostjuliuscaesar]

Keeping the name & that price point (allegedly). Wow

 

[Rösti]

Is it Xbox | Scorpio or Xbox Scorpio though? I suppose it could be a placeholder logo.

 

[nhlducks35]

I can see it. But how do we know it isn't a placeholder?

The font is different from the Project Scorpio one

 

[Zombie James]

I'm fine with Scorpio but it doesn't really say anything about the product. "Pro", as generic and overused as it is, is pretty clear. Even "One X" would have been better, imho.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Maybe Best Buy just out this together themselves?

 

[Strootman]

I like it.

 

[HooYaH]

Can't wait for Xbox Sub-Zer.

 

[BriGuy]

Kind of lame, but I guess it already has name recognition.

 

[Sunset Samurai]

Xbox Scorpio
Junior Member

 

[redhood56]

I like it.

 

[ParadigmGamer]

I'm inclined to believe this is a placeholder considering there is not a picture of the actual console.

 

[Mr Swine]

Doubling down on the Scorpio name makes me think it's gonna launch October 21 or 22.

Would be fun if it was on my bday! Interesting if they market Scorpio as a new console or just a super charged Xbone

 

[KingBroly]

Terrible name IMO

 

[Clancy]

That’s a pretty good name. Most gamers already know what it is by now.

 

[The Lamp]

Meh. It's going to confuse people. "Is this game out for Scorpio or One?"

I hope that's not a marketing slogan they're going for. It's been proven in numerous console cycles that the most powerful console is not a persuasive crutch to get people to buy your system especially if the price is really high. If it's a rumored $500 system that is basically a gaming PC that plays Xbox One games, I think they're going to be disappointed in the reception.

The name could be too confusing for the masses.

For example, PS4 and PS4 Pro make sense and tell me both systems run the same games. I don't know what this is just by hearing the name. Scorpio is okay for a project code name, but wtf does it mean for branding a product?

 

[DragonKnight]

Just need pre-order link now

 

[The Last One]

Xbox One S
Xbox Scorpio

I see it now lol

I'm so lazy.

 

[Death Metalist]

DA REEEEPAAAAAAS

 

[Magwik]

They're sticking with the code name? Interesting.

Nintendo did it with the 3DS/WiiU so it isn't unprecedented

 

[kulapik]

The font can still be a thing Best Buy put. I'm not completely buying it.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Makes sense honestly.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Scorpio font looks fake. Maybe a placeholder?

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Looks like a home made preorder advert based on information that's widely available. The logo and slogan branding definitely won't look like that in official materials.

 

[STEaMkb]

They are dropping the Xbox One name?

 

[Buttonbasher]

Doubling down on the Scorpio name makes me think it's gonna launch October 21 or 22.

That's still Libra territory.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Nah, not buying it. The name, not the console lol.

 

[Kyoufu]

I like the name tbh. They were obviously not going to call it Xbox One ___ because of the negative stigma attached to the brand this gen so I think Scorpio is fine.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Ok I guess. Better than Xbox One S imo.

 

[AmyS]

Good.

XBOX SCORPIO it is.

 

[Chobel]

Scorpio

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Sticking with the code name is dope. Because the name is already in everyone's mouth. Why change it to make confusion

 

[IncognitoPanda]

XBS and XB1S, great...

Jk, it'll probably just be called scorpio.
