I dont know, $399 is a good news situation, and they don't need to have pr plan around it.Convinced this is PR. Question is, is it because they want to "shock" us with a $399 announcement, or are they bracing us for the fact that it is actually $499?
My money is on the former.
The second option would be the saddest thing in the long, sad history of gamingare you saying ms says it's 499 and told Geoff to tell people or are you saying they're using him to "leak" the wrong price?
Are people seriously doubting Geoff here? Lol
That would be ill advised.The later.
That seems like a completely impossible optionWhat if it is also portable?
Xbox One already went through a period of only being $499 so the data is there. GAF being hyperbolic on Switch doesn't mean Scorpio at $499 is suddenly going to defy expectations of very low sales outside of the holiday launch.Yes yes and Switch is DOA. I get it. GAF is bad at this.
If this was ANYONE else, I would believe it.
That would be ill advised.
Microsoft probably wants him to leak this so that everyone can brace for the disappointment when its announced during the conference. Without leaking ahead of time everyone would be like 10x more pissed.
Why?
They are selling another console that plays the exact same games for a much lower price.
This isn't a mass market consumer product, it's niche.
Scorpio does not replace the Xbox One, it compliments it and fleshes out the product line.

He left himself a way out (by how he worded it) so we will never know.That would be ill advised.
If its why I think it is, its a stunt. no one if falling for anything.I mean, uh, I'm not going to say it's a dumb idea. But I doubt Keighley would fall for something like that...
The Xbox One S is a $250 safety net. There's no problem with having a premium option. The PS4 Pro gets outsold 5:1 even with its $399 price point.
Hard to believe with Jaguar and decent but not amazing GPU. It will be a failure at that price.

Zero. Dorito pope ain't for sale unless it involves Doritos.

I think $499. I don't think they would tell Geoff to leak an incorrect price point. I'm just really not sure why.
Only thing I can think of is they want the original wave of shock to already be over before the conference
If it is a controlled leak, then the reason would be so this is out of the way, and people already had their reaction on forums and social media about it, so the press conference itself doesn't get overshadowed by it. Or at least that might be the intent.
I just don't see them leaking a higher price at this point in some attempt to create a false narrative of negative emotions around your product.
Oh man I wish he didnt spoil it. Would have been glorious to see the meltdowns on GAF live.
Seems weird a host like him would be leaking something important like that. I sure wouldn't hire him again. Never been a fan myself.
I'm ok with any price up to $800.
With specs like that, Scorpio was never going to be $400 in 2017.
