Yeah i can see Phil Spencer on a press conference: "We don't sell the Scorpio with controllers, cause everybody who wants this awesome beast, already has a XBone/s. Who needs controllers anyway, we have kine...."
Godspeed.

Yeah I'd spring for a lowest hard drive no controller model if it existed. Already got an Elite and two externals (2TB and 256 SSD)

Yup so $299 US - damn you, Brexit.
Yeah, once that info is in dev hands, leaks can't be too far behind.

So you literally ignore the bit after where I said that I think it'll ship with a controller, and the context which was replying to someone saying "Why would they ship without a controller".
I was giving my view on the only reason that could happen. It's not going to happen though, obviously.
Or Nintendo. I just purchased a 3DS for the first time and it didn't come with a freaking AC adapter...
EDIT: Ah, you mean the storage options. Never mind. That is totally an Apple thing. Ridiculous.

Agree, again I was replying to someone saying why wouldn't it ship with a controller. I was speculating.
I was joking, obviously.
@Isurus
Yeah. But i hope you can switch the HDD by yourself like at the PS4/Pro. So you don't have to support MS pricing policy.

Doh. Sorry dude. Not that obvious - too many peoples' posts look like they're joking but... nope...
Halo 3 would be remastered if anything since it's the 10 year anniversary. Reach, I'm not so sure about.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Yeah I should have replied yo the other post.
Has Forza always debut at the games award show Geoff hosts every year? If so it should be soon then
Joel Was Right
If you smell burning, it's probably the generators acting up. Report it anyway.
My understanding is that there won't be any Scorpio exclusive games. Developers will naturally focus on XB1 specs as that has the largest install base. Won't this undermine the quality we'll see on Scorpio, and indeed, the PS4 Pro?

Nope. I think the only Forza game announced at Geoff's show was Horizon 1. I may be wrong.
I bought xbone at launch for Forza 5, I would do the same for Forza 7.
In Scorpio's case maybe for the first year..the system is 5x as powerful (and depending on CPU maybe more) than Xbox One. With a power gap that wide I expect Scorpio to be the main platform by Fall of 2018.
I think Microsoft will likely nail the transition to new gen games with Scorpio and it's successor. If the CPU is indeed an upgrade, the Scorpio will have good legs and be the cheap new gen Slim option when Sony goes with PS5, Microsoft has a cheap brute of a console and still a beast to follow that goes toe to toe or beyond PS5 and PS4 Pro just won't have the legs to straddle old gen and new gen so Sony are expensive PS5 only with new gen games.
I know that sounds like next gen platform but they'll cut off old consoles for primary development eventually.

It's no different from all previous generations. PCs has been the target then everything scaled down. Xbox One is a platform they scale for but doesn't effect the performance for the Scorpio. Scorpio will get the Ultra settings treatment with better assets and such. Example Forza 7 will have auto vista cars in gameplay while Xbox One will have the next high lod model for player cars.
Remember in game development all assets including textures are created at very high poly/resolution so basically the Scorpio will play games the way the devs originally wanted the game to look. It's all going to look amazing can't wait to see the reveal
Doh. Sorry dude. Not that obvious - too many peoples' posts look like they're joking but... nope...
That's why a included kinect as the little joke. But no problem here.
But honestly, i don't see a "Console only" pack for the scorpio.

VR from a standing start could be a very tough sell. That's a considerable expense all in one go.
It will be an optional peripheral.
MS revealed their first dip into VR yesterday at their event. By the time Scorpio releases it will be ripe for compatibility.

Yeah, I get that it's optional. But still, PCVR launched with 13m pieces of compatible hardware out there. PSVR had in excess of 40m
This (theoretical) Scorpio VR would have 0 compatible pieces of hardware on day 1. Console players that want the Xbox VR experience on day 1 are going to be spending $800+ for the privilege. Just feels like a big ask.
So about these mid console refresh deals, should they be pushed like a traditional console launch. I'm really interested in the pro but the lack of any real substantial titles to go along with it at launch is a bit disappointing. Maybe they should have waited till febuaury to launch alongside Horizon.
The same goes for the Scorpio, I'll be picking it up after skipping the S and my launch Xbox one feeling long in the tooth, but I hope the console launches with software that takes advantage of the power.

Gears of War 4, 1080p 60 fps with Bells and Whistles Single player would be nice!
X1 supports external anyway, so you don't have to worry about prices/switching.
I'd hope Scorpio goes the same route.
They really gotta get in dynamic time of day and weather, even if the Xbox One version remains static.
I will be mad if they have all those resources and still no dynamic ToD/weather.
Take a look at pc - what do you think of the quality pc gamers get?

Scorpio will be the next "Xbox One Elite (premium) console". It'll be bundled with the current (or a revision) elite controler, will have a 1tb (or 2tb) SSHD and will be sold for 499/$500.
my prediction
That would be a instant buy for me. I want a elite controller so if they include it with Scorpio for $500 that would be a steal

Original PS4 Price - $399
PS4 Pro Price - $399
Original XB1 Price - $499
Project Scorpio Price - $499
Time never changes, only the perspective does
Original XB1 price Sans Kinect - $399
Project Scorpio sans Kinect - $399
Better perspective ;-)
Mid-gen "Premium" console refresh. Can't see it being 399$. I would say at the very least 499$. Guess we will wait and see.

It shows the disconnect between the users here and the general public. Same for "I'd pay 600 for a high end console". These are genuine sentiments but are limited to the most enthusiastic gamers. A small number.
I really don't think there's any way that Project Scorpio launches at 399.
It's why MS getting gamers used to Play Anywhere has been very smart.
Xbox 1 and PC owners get the same games but one version obviously looks a lot better.

We thought the same of the PS4... 8GB of GDDR5!?? OMG, it's going to be expensive! $399 price announced, GAF crashed.
It better launch at $399 or lower to really compete. Otherwise, promises of better hardware nearly a year after the Pro with an expensive tag, won't do anything to help it. I really wonder about some of the multiplatform releases - will we have a situation where Scorpio patches for games that suffered with lower resolutions and framerates actually be better than the Pro from games that came out before launch? Or will it be mostly for newer games launching in 2017 and later? It's going to be an interesting time.

How do you come to the conclusion i'm not intrested in it? I can't exactly play it over the coming year can i, hence why i said i'm covered for the year.
It's not out for another year at least so I'm not going to cream myself over whats been revealed so far, ie nothing but numbers and waffle, like some people seem to be doing.
When actual hardware details are released, and i know what its actually capable of when it releases, i'll review Scorpio VS my next GPU upgrade, which would be in 2018 anyway as i don't like going longer than 2 years, and see which is more cost effective.

No way. That simple announcement undermined the existence of PS4 Pro and immediately put Scorpio in the same conversation without them showing shit. It was a brilliant move, IMO.
