Phil Spencer: Scorpio will have a console price point, not compete with high-end rigs

One time and it didn't go well. 500 is the cap for consoles but even at that price they struggle to sell.

Scorpio might have been announced too early, but let's face it, given the amount of Sony announcements, if MS didn't have anything in store people might think they are pulling out of the console market. At least with Scorpio incoming it seems like MS have some kind of fightback plan. And the fact that they are coming back to making the most powerful console in the market is generally good, as I'd argue it was one of the key selling points of their first two consoles.
What are you expecting out of 1 year?
It took 3 years for PS4X1 to realize ~$100 in cost savings.

Last machine I purchased was a 360 that was purely for 3rd party because Microsoft don't have any exclusives that interest me.
After my annoyance of what's going on with the Pro, I'm this '' close to returning the Pro, keeping my Ps4 and going for my first ever Gaming PC (budget @ £1100).
Now if only Microsoft had 1st Party exclusives that I liked, I'd totally dismiss the Gaming PC, buy a Scorpio and keep original PS4 (for Sony exclusive single player games only). I'd get rid of Psn subscription and go Live all whilst smiling a big fuck you to Sony.
I wouldn't be surprised if Scorpio has some exclusive deal with Bethesda though for totally upgraded Skyrim & Fallout which obviously could be fully modded and giving amazing results akin to what I've seen on YouTube that almost represent a High End PC.
Shame it's not out till next year because although Gears/Halo/Forza don't do a thing for me at all, I'd still buy one, keep original ps4 for exclusives, possibly sub to Live and fuck psn off and just hope for some Microsoft exclusives that I'll like. After all, I'd still have an old ps4 for exclusives and I'd be pretty confident that 3rd Party would be a whole lot better on a Scorpio. I wouldn't be surprised if all previous games on Xbox One would look better on Scorpio too, unlike a Pro.
Timing...damn!

i am more than willing to pay 499$ for scorpio. But considering that most of us own mobile phones that cost 600$+++ to make calls and send text messages, i think that I could pay even more considering the raw power of scorpio and the performance benefits

I've not been following Scorpio that much but if the hardware was & remains locked down since the reveal then the tech inside will be 2-3 generations old by the time it launches. A price point similar to the Pro wouldn't be that surprising given how quickly hardware prices drop once newer generations arrive.
Not for a number of years, Scorpio is being set up so that a game gets made for Xbox One and it runs at native 4k on the Scorpio.
You may do 4K AND games that look beyond what a current gen machine can do

Huge shock: fastest consoles are not the fastest forever
$1000 is not a high end rig though...
2k+ is a high end rig, can go much higher..
So... Anywhere between $399-$1000?
Still think it's going to be $499-$599 with previous comments.
$599 is an entry level rig really, barely.

I'll eat my pants if this is more than $399*

Doea this add more fuel to the new CPU fire for Scorpio
A full spec has been published for the systems needed to drive the new range of affordable HMDs, providing more details beyond those that had been inferred previously. As expected, the graphical requirements are quite a bit lower than those demanded by HTC for the Vive or Oculus for the rift:
Processor equivalent to a mobile Core i5 (dual core/four thread)
DirectX 12-capable GPU equivalent to the Intel HD Graphics 620 (the mid-range Kaby Lake integrated GPU)
8GB RAM in dual channel mode
HDMI 1.4 for 2880×1440 at 60Hz, or HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort 1.3 for 2880×1440 at 90Hz
100GB of disk space (SSD preferred)
USB 3.1 generation 1 Type-A or Type-C
Bluetooth 4.0
A Jaguar CPU wouldn't be enough for these.

Yeah I don't get this worry at all, it's already happening.
