My biggest question, which I cannot get answered yet, is if they will let me share my games with 3 xboxes if I own all 3. Normally I would think status quo but if you have three frigging xbox one models, I should be able to share with all 3. I still think making local IP sharing possible shouldnt be a big deal. What if I owned ten bedrooms and had an xbox in every room, who cares? Right now I can share them with my two. I will be interested in this console, especially because I hear it will be around $400 but if buying it makes one of my others obsolete, I will have to decide whether I want to go for it and sell the oldest xbox one or if I just sit back and do nothing.

- The CPU contains eight custom x86 cores clocked at 2.3GHz, which are 31% faster than those in the Xbox One
- The GPU is made with 40 custom compute units running at 1172MHz
- The memory is 12 gigabytes of GDDR5 RAM running at a bandwidth of 326GB/s
- The built-in hard-drive is 2.5 inches and contains 1 terabyte of space
- The optical hard drive will support everything up to 4K ultra-HD Blu-ray discs
- A better color compression system
- A new audio processor for spatial surround sound, including support for Dolby Atmos
- A next-gen codec that allows you to capture your content in full HDR, which in many ways is more vibrant and impressive than 4K
- The GPU delivers on the 6.0-teraflop performance target promised earlier last year by Microsoft
- Project Scorpio will be 100% backwards compatible with all Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles
- Of the 12 gigabytes of memory, only 4GB is reserved for the system itself. Developers will have 8GB of memory to play around with for their games, to ensure quality performance, quick loading times, and better visuals

And here's what we still don't know about Project Scorpio, but hope to learn soon (possibly E3?):

- How much it will cost
- When it will go on sale
- If it will support any VR headsets or solutions, and which
- If it will support Microsoft's augmented reality headset, the HoloLens
- Which games will take advantage of the performance bonuses from Project Scorpio

The full article below is a bit techy for me. its fast and powerful, no other real news yet. Basically what they said was going to be true as far as hardware is, thats all I learned.

While Microsoft isn't revealing what Project Scorpio looks like, or its name or price, Digital Foundry has provided some information on the ports. The rear of the console is based on the Xbox One S, so there's no dedicated Kinect port, but HDMI input is still present. Microsoft is also sticking to a 4K Blu-ray drive for the optical drive.

Digital Foundry says the final form factor for Project Scorpio will be revealed at E3, suggesting that Microsoft isn't planning to showcase its hardware at an event before its E3 press conference. All eyes will now firmly be on June to see what Microsoft has in terms of exclusive games titles, and just how competitive it can be in design and pricing.

Everyone is gearing up for VR gaming. Which is funny because it doesn't really interest me, unless you can actually plug me in like SAO or The Matrix.

Really? What were you expecting? The more I read about it the more impressive and forward-thinking it appears to be.

I honestly thought it would be more powerful that it was, considering the hype.

The new updated Xbox coming out at the end of the year.

So its Xbox 2 basically?

So its Xbox 2 basically?

It is still an xbox one and still plays all the same games, just far more powerful. So, its not a "new console" like we are used to, moreso just an upgrade.

 

[Bodha]

Basically.

That really grinds my gears


Consoles are becoming money scams similar to Iphones. Hey look, a new $1,600 model every year, I HAVE TO GET IT!


I can plug in my 10 year old PS3, load up Uncharted, and see a perfect game with beautiful visuals.

All current consoles have plenty of juice in them. This is just a BS money grab. And watch, I guarantee youll see the X box 3's in 2 years after that

They do plan on releasing hardware mroe often in the future.

This console supports 4k HDR and should play at a smoother rate and 60 FPS for games, it also supports VR.

So there are major differences between it and the launch edition console.

They has specifically marketed it as an elite version at a higher price point for those who want it with the promise that games will still work across all 3 platforms making it a luxury rather than a necessity.

So I disagree from being a money grab, it has its own pros that create its value, its not baseless. I will likely turn in my original xbone in exchange for this more powerful unit and it wont cost me much at all.

I dont chase technology anymore but I do love me some video games.

It doesn't bother me in the slightest bit. I love that they're pushing the envelope. Nobody if forcing anyone to do anything. If one wants to be on the cutting edge, you're going to choose to do so and cough up the Benjamins.

My buddy has the PS4 VR and it's freaking amazing. I'll never drop that cash for a 1st gen VR system, but he prioritizes it and we all have a blast.

The early adopters pave the way for those of us who don't mind waiting until the prices come down.

my point is they are holding out on us. They leak a little bit of new technology at time, and hold some back for future releases as the selling point.

This technology could not have been put in the original box in 2013. It would have been like $800 and been a complete failure.

Exactly. Early adopters pay in price for the convenience of receiving it early. This goes back generations and isn't exclusive to the video game industry. (which somehow gets all of the venom for some reason)
