$599
it's 715$ in today's terms so I don't know why people are freaking out about 599$ ?

Nope, we ain't crazy. So what if Microsoft are taking a bath (They won't be by release). They need to try and take back the reins of this generation. Pricing themselves out of contention again isn't something they will do.
I don't get this - it's SO powerful how could it be that price! In a year and a quarter when this thing comes out - it won't be. It'll be using seasoned tech that will be shamed by a new PC build - like all console tech these days unfortunately.
It's going to be above 250

HA! In your dreams
$399
They have to. They just HAVE to. They're losing by far vs PS4 in terms of public perception and in numbers (even though they've been making up good ground recently). They CAN NOT price this more than PS4 Pro and PS4 Pro will be $399 next Christmas, maybe $449. Even if PS4 Pro and Xbox Scorpio aren't anywhere near as powerful as each other, it will seem close enough to the public because PS4 Pro is an "upgraded/better PS4" and the Xbox One to Scorpio jump will be viewed the same.
That's a Pound not a Dollar im using their.
So the Pro will go up in price? Wut. It'll be more expensive, bank on it. Every component is more expensive.
edit: you mean $449 for the Scorpio, not Pro?
XDOh, I know, and it's still in your dreams
Yeah, so it will be dead on arrival in Euro countries.
The PS4 launched at 399 and did just great in Europe. It's a fine price.
November 2017:
Xbox One S 1TB - $250 (maybe game bundled in?)
Xbox One S 2TB - $350 (maybe game bundled in?)
Scorpio 1.5 TB - $450
Scorpio 3 TB - $550
Do we have to do this again? It'll be 399. You can't sell a console successfully above that price.
Microsoft have learnt from history.
All those people who thought the PS4 Pro would be above 399? They were wrong. Prepare to be wrong again if you think different.
400 dollar for a 500gb version would be fine for me.
I have a external HDD wich has all my games.

£400 for the lowest model pls.
If there isn't a model at 399 then Xbox 1.5 is doomed to a bad start. This is reality, and Microsoft have to fall in line and they will. Save this post and shame me next year if it suits you.You are talking about component prices from 6-8 months from now. The consoles still have to be built for a Holiday launch a little over a year from now. Prices are not going to drop anywhere near that. Two years out, three years out? sure. 6-8 months prices? not a chance.
I see the knives are out again. Maybe if we change the title to Sony and Shu we can start hyping up that year of Dreams Mk III and everyone jumps on the happy positive train? Then again maybe not, lol
Just seen that IGN posted an hour interview with Phil as well though I cant watch it right now, probably going over similar ground here.

2016, $299 for PS4 slim, add $100, you get premium PS4 Pro
2017, OneS will be at $199, add $100, you get premium Xbox one, Scorpio will be $299.
Pretty easy to predict, make more money on bigger hard drive options that some people prefer to buy and enthusiast early buyers.
500GB Scorpio $399
2TB Scorpio $499
1TB SSD Scorpio $599 Limited Edition
OH wow. NO. If microsoft is pricematching Sony, it's either going to be a lot shittier specs wise, or it's going to be a huge financial loss for Microsoft. Which shareholders don't want. Hell they don't even want the Xbox anymore. I'm estimating at least 499. Most likely 599 if they keep their promises and wait for new architecture. But this is gon be one hell of a fight. Can't wait to see what that Scorpion is gonna have under that hood.
As I've said before. I hope that MS doesn't cheap out on components (such as no UHD-BD support) just to meet the 400 price point. It's supposed to be a premium product after all.
Oh god, the overreaction here.I see the knives are out again. Maybe if we change the title to Sony and Shu we can start hyping up that year of Dreams Mk III and everyone jumps on the happy positive train? Then again maybe not, lol
