Xbox One S has additional CPU/GPU power, games can look and run better

Because if they announce a spec bump and its still not enough to cover the difference between it and a PS4 they will still be mocked.
No need to announce something and admit that their original was a fuck up and still have it be weaker then a base PS4.
And MS showed games for more than an hour.

I look forward to a whole new generation of "secret sauce" arguments.
Seriously though, if it mattered, they would have made a bigger deal about it.

Interesting. Maybe they didn't mention it at the conference to not piss people off? Maybe they didn't mention it because they want at least a few fat XB1's to sell in June and another few to sell in July?
I remember they said the 360 S had slightly more power as well but they could not use it for reasons. Maybe now with the way games are being built with scalability in mind with these iterative upgraded hardware we might see an actual difference? Even if small?

If I get this, Will MGSV and Dark Souls 3 stop dropping frames?

S to One is basically PSP 2000 to PSP 1000
sounds like it
While I'm sure there will be some (I'm one of them), existing Xbox One owners don't need the S. While there might be some benefits, I doubt they will be significant outside of 4K media.
The Scorpio will be significant however.

Hard to say anything without knowing just how much the increase is.

If you're willing to spend $300 to $400 up to 3 times, you should really just spend $1200 and build a powerful gaming PC.
You can always trade in the old Xbox One towards a new one.
Let me tell you about this magical practice some people partake in called "Reselling".

Judging by what the Gears guy said, the HW bump won't fix 900p games, but it'll fix the bigger framerate hitches on some games.

If this makes a noticeable difference for Titanfall 2 and BF1 then I'll upgrade.
Yeah, we do that after PC upgrades too, in fact i got more selling my last GPU when upgrading than anyone will likely ever get for selling their XBONE

Duh, a good pc costs like triple what an xbox would. You better get more.
Yes and all the HDMI upgrades that come with that, is this a version of polaris?
My kids can't play Madden/NBA 2k/etc on a PC, and they also can't play many local co-op games either.
Regardless, if I wanted a beefy PC I would have one... but I choose to get a Surface/MBP instead to go along with the consoles (including the PS and Nintendo family).

Pre-ordered my S today money i was going to spend on a 4K blu-ray player. That will be the third Xbox One in my house. And when Scorpio comes out that will take the place of the S. I use them for OTA TV apps AND games and they work with my harmony 650's. And no i never sell my systems so I'll still have them all hooked up in different rooms.
My PS4 is games only and even PS VUE i mostly run off my Fire TV's.
Different people have different purchase habits and uses,

On topic, do we have any other news regarding an upgrade? I could see them not mentioning this in order to avoid completely bombing OG XB1 sales.

That's a huge change actually.

So the Xbox One S is the 32X and the Scorpio is the Saturn?
I guess I'll just wait for the Microsoft Dreamcast.

Xbone to Scorpio is a larger leap than 360 to Xbone. 1.2TF to 6TF (5X) Vs. ~350GF to 1.2TF (~3.4x)

I've done that the last 2 video cards I owned, sold my 970 and upgraded to 980 Ti, then sold the 980 Ti to upgrade to the 1080.
It's a nice way to live, but I can't really imagine someone getting a lot of money for an original Bone when the S comes out, and the S when the Scorpio comes out? I dunno.

They already did that by announcing scorpio.

If it really has more power, I may buy it after all. No Kinect though... what am I going to do with the $40 I've spent on Dance Central already??? =(
Yes we plan to support you current external data for migration to the new platform*

Log in? All your saves are stored on Xbox Live.
As for the games on external drives, I would assume it works like it does now where you can plug that drive into any Xbox One you're logged into.

All you do is unplug your external and plug it into your new S. Pretty Simple.
Keep your Kinect. There's a USB adapter you can get for free from Microsoft.
You can get the adapter for free. Kinect still works with Xbox One S (and I'm going to presume Scorpio too)
This. Game/app data is simply brought over if you use an external drive and user data is synced when you sign in and launch a game/app.
If you only use the internal drive, then I guess you'd either need to copy to an external first or download again.

Dynamic secret sauce 2.1?
I want to trade my OG X1 for the slim just for white colour, no power brick and space saving. Getting a little bump to Halo 5's resolution along the way would be nice.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
I'll buy it if I see a more stable FPS in Quantum Break.
