6 teraflops? Gies? Get the fuck outta here, I don't believe his "sources" for a second.
Going to be an interesting E3, regardless.

Still going with PC only. It going to play Xbox exclusives; and I only have to worry about upgrading one system when I feel like it.
lol, one year long pre-season.

so peter north (ps4k) has weaker specs but the actual output we'll see in the games will be better?

They should have waited. They should have waited.
Yeah, to be honest I think they are the real losers in this releasing a console that will probably be around Xbox One level while everyone else starts to focus on the upgrades. They better hope this whole venture by MS and Sony fail spectacularly.
I don't think anyone is expecting Scorpio to outsell or come close to the PSNeo in anyway; MS will never be able to top that ~1 year head-start the Neo will enjoy, coupled with the fact that Xbox is dead outside NA/UK.
What will happen is that DF and Sales threads will be more entertaining now; performance threads became predictable (PC>PS4>XB1) and sales threads have gotten stale with only two main consoles on the market.
It's true, the hardware becomes less of a compulsion towards one or the other when there's effectively always something better coming 'soon' on both sides.
So the early rounds here could be important for establishing momentum. And I dare say Neo ought to play the cost card better vs Scorpio next year than Xbox One might vs Neo in its first year (from a price
erf sweetspot point of view). However Microsoft isn't solely dependent on the behaviour of this market for their platform's success, given that they're straddling it over into the PC space too now. It's also quite possible that after the initial tick-tock, they start to sync up onto similar schedules. However that could require one to short-change one of their revision's time at the top, and tbh it would make for a less diverse/interesting choice of products IMO.

I mean, do the math. Work backwards into it.

Wow, that woudl be beastly, but what would that cost, and what sort of hardware would it require? Does amd even have APU's with that much muscle to them?
No, nothing is for sure.
The way I see this, no console will ever hold an power advantage for more than 1-2 years again.
If Scorpio kicks Neo's butt, PS5 will come in 2018. Madness!!!!
Yeah, these just sound like...oof. Way out beyond something nintendo would consider trying.
You mods just laughing at all the hysteria to come.
Poor Nintendo...
They should have waited. They should have waited.
They could wait forever, it won't change anything. All they can do is try to improve their situation from Wii U levels at the least.

Because power was the problem with the PS4? MS not the only one making an upgrade

gotta keep up the tradition of dumb names they started with xbone going
I for one am on Nintendo's side in this matter. Can't help but root for the underdog.

Jason Schreier say that one source say between 5 to 6 and other sources say the specs not lock down .

I'm less interested in what this means for the Neo/PS5 and more what this does for the NX.
I think Griss may have forgotten the $100 price difference @ launch as well. If ps4 had been $100 more at launch than x1...

I don't know. In 2016, millions people are willing to buy new smartphones every YEAR. Just finance or subsidize your new Xbox Scorpio by locking in a 2-year XBL Gold contract!!!!
Dropping $700 on a single box that gives you high-end PC performance without having to buy all the other PC stuff or assemble it yourself sounds like something that would sell.
And if Microsoft locks down a bunch of AAA exclusives, they could sell the hardware at a loss and get money back through XBL Gold and game licenses/sales.
All we need is that Federal Minimum Wage hike and we're good to go!
lol
Xbox Infinity.
"You'll be buying this black box an infinite amount of times but with better, more powerful hardware every time!"
Article states that MS was caught off guard about the release of NEO after GDC. NEO could possibly have a 8-12 month head start.
It's why I have no idea why MS would announce this at E3. They'd crater their sales and they'd hand over all the mind and marketshare to PS4. And then pray that people jump on the new box.
So I was hoping they would not release a new Xbox this year. Now I'll just a Xbox Stick for my other room to stream. Then next year get the more powerful Xbox One. Damnit, but I was also going to build a PC. Welp. Either way I was gonna get a Surfacebook 2 for game development. Hmm, this is all interesting but not anything that hasn't been discussed before.
I wish it could just be a Windows PC in small form, so I could run Steam on it. I'd probably decide not to build a new PC then.
They sell Vive in their own Microsoft Store, so maybe a marketing deal with Oculus, but official support for both headsets.

This is what i see happening. Taking turns being the most powerful. Which doesn't mean much as the PC will still triumph all. So the biggest differentiator is still software. So the question remains, which combo will cover the market best.

I made the switch from X1 to PC a few months ago anyway. First Party titles coming to PC and this PC/Live gaming integration made it a no brainer.

That's all I thought about while reading through this. I mean, the average consumer might be swayed by a slimmer unit in the meantime for a reasonable price, but I'd imagine most interested people (who haven't bought an XBO yet and don't mind continuing to wait to play its library) would figure that they could just use the gap between releases to save for the objectively better system

These consoles haven't even been released and I'm already hating the fact they released shitty hardware and now will release a decent one.

Or a new console announcement every E3!
I do feel bad for Nintendo though, hope everything works out for them. :-(

I hope their dongle devices don't show up at E3. Because that mean fuck all as far as gaming goes and could again create a stigma.

I don't understand how they expect people to realistically drop 400 to 500 dollars every year on one of these things.
Console market with crash if this happens.

Sounds about right, calling it Scorpio internally and coming out between October - November of 2017. 6TF sounds like a beast, hopefully it also uses a Zen CPU instead of the God awful CPU that the Xbox One and PS4 uses.
