It's a pretty decent price, considering the big leap it represents. Unfortunately, it won't really have an exclusive game library, so the power is kinda wasted no?
Of course you do when you feel it might soften the blow. No matter what they show at the conference, the talk was going to be the price, it's still going to be talked a lot if that is indeed the price, but they might be trying to adjust the expectations a little before.
Better not be a stunt.
I would think these people would like a resurgence of the xbox brand.
Am I the only one confused by this comment?
What good would a 1070 do me since I do not own a pc... I would still need a hard drive, ram, motherboard,.....not buying all that. Not buying this either though.You can get a 1070 for this price.
How so? If their games is to run on regular Xbox One consoles how can they push the hardware?
There is zero reason for Geoff to damage his credibility with this. The MS "paycheck" to be a part of a marketing stunt would never be worth it.
$499 limits sales to launch and preorder build up and that's it. Once the calendar hits 2018 Scorpio is dead at $499.This is Switch price reveal thread all over again. Misunderstanding the market for this thing.
Lol that will be like £450. I expected that but now it so close sounds terrible
Not surprised in the slightest. This also decreases the chances of a PS4Pro price-cut dramatically.
Also, price appears very reasonable considering that was the original launch price of the Xbone back in 2013.
MS should partner up with Lavar Ball if the 499.99 is true.
Because the reveal is in a few hours, so more people know and he has contacts for this kind of stuff.And Geoff knows this how?

His reputation is above leaker status. This doesn't make sense unless it is a stunt. Like the Joachim bullshit.THIS.
Jeff has brought his reputation around lately and is a pretty decent "journalist" for the games industry. I can't see him opening himself up to Microsoft marketing stunts on his personal twitter.
Better not be a stunt.
But that's going to be over a hundred quid more than pro at launch, it's like they've learned nothing, that's why they lost ground here. 360 was the leader and I think Xbox one would've continued that if it was priced the same as ps4 price is huge in the uk.$499 does actually sound quite reasonable considering the price of the Pro and the power in Scorpio.
Wonder what that will be in the UK - £430? I think thats the price X1 launched at here so I'd pay £430 for a Scorpio

So, let me get this straight...
people in here actually think that
- 10% more CPU Power
- 50% more GPU Power
- 50% more RAM
- 50% more Bandwidth
- UHD Blu-ray instead of a regular Drive
in comparison to a PS4 Pro will come at no extra cost whatsoever?
Don't agree. Generational consoles need to be somewhat accessible (to get off the ground). Scorpio can be sold at a premium without impacting on the low end of the market (and the ecosystem) as they have the X1S to flog.$499 is a niche price and would make more sense for a new generational console instead of transitional console.
A stunt as in sources within Microsoft are telling a reporter before their press conference that a price is $499 only to reduce it, or a reporter confirming with sources other than Microsoft that the price will be $499 (but that could change) without confirming it with Microsoft?Better not be a stunt.
Dude is not reasonable at all.. Is a year later console with almost the same tech as the Pro.. and remember is not a new Gen... Sony could cut the price of the Pro to $349.99 on their conference... $499.99 is suicide. This has to be a marketing stunt.$499 does actually sound quite reasonable considering the price of the Pro and the power in Scorpio.
