It was nice of them to announce it ahead of time, though. Imagine if they released the S this august and announced the Scorpio 6 months later.God.

I thought they removed the Kinect port? Wait, is that just a USB port? Can you connect the Kinect (heh) via USB?
Does the PC version of the Kinect use USB? That would make sense.
So is there any factual data here or just wild speculation?
God.

Yep. A Slim in August/September for UHD Blu-ray support and the Scorpio next year to move the Slim to my bedroom and become the main entertainment center piece.
So now in MP games people with an XBS have an advantage over XB users?
ex. Gears 4
Scorpio is so far beyond the XB1 that it's simply a new generation.
Yea, Scorpio is almost 5x the power, we've seen generational leaps like this, also not sure why people are trying to call the S 1.2 when we don't have any info on what's inside.
God.

I think this is a really limited perspective to take.
If you already own an X1, there is little impetus to buy an X1S--well, at least, there isn't any *need* to buy an X1S.
So for any prospective buyers who *don't* own a current gen console, their choices are:
-Buy a PS4
-Buy an X1S
-Wait until next year and miss out on Battlefield 1, COD IW, TF2, etc.
If they want to play the games, they'll buy the console. That principle was the same before the X1S was announced and it's the same now.
If the Scorpio was being released MONTHS after the X1S, or even at the end of the year, I think that would be a more valid concern...but it's not. It's releasing over a year later. and it isn't even *replacing* the X1/X1S.
That's a long wait if you want to play a lot of these games.
Well said.
Also, I am glad they hammered in 6TF during the conference so now we won't have "but rumors were 5-6TF and it could be as little as 5.1TF in the end". Now all Microsoft has to do is make sure they meet that 6TF for the GPU lol.
How much more would a Zen CPU and the 320GB/s GDDR5X(?) add to total TF measure? 6.1-6.2 total? More?
Yes, as much as people with lower latency connections and quicker response TVs already had. Level playing field is a myth.So now in MP games people with an XBS have an advantage over XB users?

It's up to developers to decide, so potentially the answer is yes.
So the Xbox One S is the 32X and the Scorpio is the Saturn?
I guess I'll just wait for the Microsoft Dreamcast.
So it is the 1.5 that Phil isn't a fan of?
How quickly things change...
People weren't kidding, E3 is when they come out!

Sounds like they only removed some reserved power from system and released it to devs.There it is:

Wouldn't a slight increase in clock speed that's only available when HDR is active be more logical. That way it has no effect on any of the operating system's tasks and future plans.Sounds like they only removed some reserved power from system and released it to devs.
Same raw power from CPU/GPU.

"We have the same SOC architecture as Xbox One today," explains a Microsoft spokesperson. "For games that want to take advantage of HDR, we gave developers access to a small amount of additional processing power." The additional processing power won't be significant, and it appears it's limited to HDR titles.

So there will now be three iterations of the Xbone and two PS4s that developers will have to target? Lol ok.
Xbox One/Xbox One S will be virtually the same.

There were 14 PS2s and some newer revisions broke old games.So there will now be three iterations of the Xbone and two PS4s that developers may have to target? Lol ok.
But I want a upgrade every 3rd year.
Xbox one S has HDR support, so its not same.
I can attest that titles look better. I watched Gears side by side last night on an OG Xbox One and a new Xbox One S. It was up-rezzed to 4K and looked sharp

Perhaps it is not the HDR giving that impression???I can attest that titles look better. I watched Gears side by side last night on an OG Xbox One and a new Xbox One S. It was up-rezzed to 4K and looked sharp
Coulda sworn he told me it was displaying up in 4K. I also had a few drinks in me mind you. Definitely looked sharper than OG Xbox running right next to it though. They specifically set them up next to each other to show it offWait, what? Will footage be released? Any word on specs? Were both upresd?

^^^ Probably this if I would have to guess.But will titles only look better on 4K tvs that support HDR?
Sounds like what would make the most sense, yayeah I'd guess its the HDR stuff
