I hope they don't cheap out on it, I'd pay up to 700 for it.
In Holiday 2017, 6Tflops will be a standard you will reach with really affordable GPUs. RX480 which is sold for 200/$ already hit that target. So yes, I doubt the price will be that high.
FFS Microsoft, get your messages straight.
What's interesting to me is when he's talking about balance, and doesn't mention the CPU.
It is going to be $399, but at that point the much-touted 4K and HDR won't be able to help it. Pro will be cheaper, PS4 will be way cheaper, and people will be content with 1080p non-HDR gaming.
What has helped Xbone and Xbone Slim were the crazy price cuts. If they sold on par with PS4's price, they will not outsell it.
Really anxious for the digital foundry reviews to see if this thing can hit 4K 60 FPS on most games at a $400 price point.
Yup.$499 max.
Quite, says a whole lot of absolute nothing.
PS3 was a console at $599.

Hmm, I seem to recall Balance being used for XBO. Jaguar incoming?
Do the developers of said games want it to hit 4k60? Because that's what matters.

Perceived value from the user.
One is generally seen as a non essential toy consumers while the other is necessary for day to day life.
Also in the US carriers subsidize the phones so they appear to be cheaper than their actual $700+ price points
He says "hey, remember the new Xbox coming!" That's why he continually pops up to say jackshit nothing. Pick away at Sony at the low end with firesale price Xbone S deals and endlessly muse about the magic of the Scorpio that is all things to all people to try and keep the high end away from Sony.
I think $499, at least right now, is realistic. If Sony drops the price of the Pro next year I could see $399 being a base SKU, with $449 being the more compelling SKU.
I really feel like Sony is going to decide the price of Scorpio, unless Microsoft plans a VERY heavy marketing push with the additional power being worth $100 more.
And no company currently in the console business, Sony included, would dream of introducing that pricetag again. $499 is probably the highest SKU with a 2TB drive for power users. 500/1TB models will likely be available in the $399/449 range. PS4pro will be $299-$349 easily next holiday season 2017, and the xbox one slim/ps4 slim $199-249. Scorpio at $399-499 will be 'premium' pricing compared to the other market offerings at the time of release.
If there's a $599 'power' SKU, it will be bundled with the elite controller.
If the extra power results in better performance and IQ for every game then it would be a good price point. The problem with the pro is that it's too limited a console for a pro device. I have a feeling all games on the Scorpio will benefit even without patches like a PC
If the console is powerful enough there is no reason not to achieve 4K 60 FPS.
Hasn't he said this like 8 times in almost imperceivabley different ways?
It will cost a premium, but wont be crazy overpriced..
I don't understand why each statement gets its own thread... Unless I am missing something.
But what do I care? I am probably going to buy it regardless of price. The Pro has started something great.
I'll maintain what I've said before - it won't be a penny over $399 for a base model.
Yeah, guessing $599 max. I'm leaning a bit towards $499 though.
We'll call it an assistyeah that was the joke i was going for but i got the wording messed up and you caught me before my edit 😔
For all people saying 1TB version - $399 and 2TB version $499, why the hell would 2TB SKU be +$100 more expensive? Currently, The difference between 1TB and 2TB SKUs is $50.
