I'd hate to have it on a console I can't change any settings on though.
I would probably obsess at watching the number, and without a way to fix any dips it would drive me crazy.

I wanted to get an Xbox one some day, but for right now, I'm on the fence.
I do like the 4k to go with my TV, but I really don't know how fracturing your install base will pan out. I already own a PS4 and a Switch, so there's no pressure on me to buy one.
Perhaps I will wait until E3 2017 to make a decision.

Looks like a sexy dev kit. Can't wait to see the final hardware design as the Xbox One S is an attractive piece of kit.

Hee-fee. Panasonic is best. Yee-vee-cee not goo'd.
He's the Corporate VP of Devices at Microsoft so he oversees new hardware coming out but doesn't necessarily mean he's down in the trenches on everything. He does lead Surface though.
I would expect the Scorpio to follow the same design language as the XBO S.
I really don't think it'll happen, but the people this is for would be into a fps counter and real time frame sync graphs a la digital foundry vids. Lol.

Why not both?.gif
Seeing as every Xbox "final" devkit looked very similar to the final product...I can say you are probably incorrect.
Excited Xbox fan teenagers eh? haha
Did not know the final kit will have 5 buttons (just plug a 101 keyboard, you've got 101 buttons for dev) and that LCD screen which no one will develop for with tight schedules, any sane dev is using runtime monitoring tools to know the actual framerate since ages.
Just 'shop without them and you've got a pretty similar-looking to XBox-S except a tad bigger

From the guy who claims Microsoft was using Digital Foundrys reputation to sell Scorpio specs comes this gem: Microsoft is trying to sell the looks of their devkit to Xbox fan teenagers. Yep, you figured it out! /s
Seriously, why such anger over a plastic box?
You'll hit puberty one day and be able to buy hardware from all of the big 3. It'll be ok.
Don't insult people (yes mine is a mock insult) for liking things.
On subject, we already knew what the dev kit looks like, but that's a nice render.

What would be the point of having the FPS display on a consumer console? For Devs and PC gamers it make sense since there's tweaks that can be made to try and maintain a specific framerate, with consoles there's usually nothing you can do. If it looks bad just go into Xbox One mode if there's a option.

The little screen would be dope. Would be a cool way to see if you have messages or updates or whatever.
Is it possible....that they do? On a new hardware upgrade? Maybe? It's just in the devkit, as far as we know. My guess is it's there to help flag rate/pacing oddities that might otherwise get missed through different steps in testing software.

I hope not in this case, the devkit looks terrible compared to S.

The buttons and the LCD screen were additions asked by developers.

Looks slick. If I had tons of spare cash I'd love to collect devkits.

Oooh the edge. What if it displayed info like a cable box since it has HDMI in? What if it displayed the output resolution of whatever media you were playing from games to Netflix? What if it scrolled the hate messages I get in Overwatch?
Just curious, what's terrible about it?
Big bulky unfinished unpolished. Panos would never approve of it.

Man they would never do it but it would be rad if the box itself had an actual digital framecounter on the front of it. Also looks decently compact? Hopefully the final build retains that size.

Microsoft should keep the OLED in the retail version.
Next-Gen as fuck!

None of this stuff will make you feel as hardcore as seeing your gamerscore in the dark.

Cause nobody owns any NES, Snes, Gamecube, Ps1, Ps2, Ps3, Xbox, Xbox 360 etc dev kits right?
Nothing says next-gen like being able to have your console flash 80085 on the front of it.

The screen is a pointless expense on the retail units. I also expect it to be smaller and much sleeker looking, like a premium XB1S.

I'm not sure it can be much smaller given the cooling it is going to need to have. The clock speeds on the CPU and GPU are going to run pretty hot.
huh? Windows Central is not a MS subsidiary

So scorpios going to look roughly like an xb1s...cool beans.
Old hardware, maybe you can buy a Scorpio devkit from eBay in 10 years
