If it's sold as a true premium device with a lot of power then it's never an issue. If people want the cheaper version they have the One S.Eh it kinda was. There's a reason they got rid of Kinect and dropped the price by a lot.
How do you figure it's never an issue? Has there ever been a super expensive premium powerful console that flew off the shelf?If it's sold as a true premium device with a lot of power then it's never an issue. If people want the cheaper version they have the One S.
Cant wait to see its impact on VR and pushing the competition to work even harder. I want one just for Forza.
If Scorpio is $500, it would have to have Zen.

Why would it be an issue when you have another product in the market already that is cheap for the masses? Why have 2 mediocre consoles in the market at the same time? If this is marketed towards that other crowd that likes power then I'm pretty sure they're ready to drop the money if it's truly worth their expectations.How do you figure it's never an issue?

OK, I'm officially excited to see what gets revealed.
Interesting..

it's certainly possible I just take issue with how you phrased "it's never an issue" which seems to mean we've had examples of this scenario before and I don't think soWhy would it be an issue when you have another product in the market already that is cheap for the masses?

I guess I imagined all of the internet memes about $599Playstation 3 did, right? I remember lining up at midnight with about 50 other people to get one.

If it's 500-600 it has to be worth every penny.
I'll never understand why people want/care about moneyhatting third parties, it's coming to the platform regardlessYeah. I would imagine it's going to be a big exclusive game. There's no way it could be 2077, right? That's just too big to moneyhat I would imagine.
Yes. But I also think even if it was powerful it would've still had issues as it's the only new option available and people still prefer/expect that $399 magic number for new gen console. The difference here is that it's not the only version available, so if some people aren't happy with 500-600 they can always opt for the One S. It plays the same games and considered current gen. So people have options.Yeah, XB1 issue wasn't 500 dollars. It's issue was being 500 for a weaker console that forced the user to pay a premium for an accessory they didn't want.

That's why we have the One SYou also have to look at this as a rebranding for the Xbox brand. A $500 price tag isn't going to instill much confidence in your average consumer. Especially with cheaper boxes out there. I think $400 is the sweet spot.
Eh it kinda was. There's a reason they got rid of Kinect and dropped the price by a lot.
"Developers will still have to optimize against the Xbox One's ESRAM, however, as games are not allowed to be exclusive to Scorpio by policy" Well that blows, people can't make Scorpio exclusives? I know MS wasn't but wow.
If you're familiar with G1 Transformers....
Hnngggh hype mode activatedShinobi just posted on twitter that there is Scorpio stuff happening next week (just confirming Jez). He added that he heard that the hardware is very impressive.

I assume this outlet will be revealing on the same day as Microsoft officially pulling back the curtains.

What am I looking at?Interesting..
it was not the price.
it was kinect and tv focus, the perception and the competition
just look at Nintendo
WiiU did bad at $299
Switch is doing good at $299 so far
The price wasn't a problem for the WiiU
At least not any major impactful one. Just a side effect.
Same for original Xbox One
The only recent console so far where the price was a major problem and not mainly other suff, was the PS3 at $499 /$599
And even that Console did okay with 10.4m units in the first year

Of course the price was a problem! A $100 more expensive console for a forced kinect that no one asked for AND the console is weaker? That's a problem. Add to that of course their shitty E3.
So is this confirmed
Why did they chose a Thursday god damn it.
Why not a Monday that's almost here?
I mean. I don't really give a flip about it. I honestly don't even know what that game is about and I've never even played a game made by the company. I was just spitballin' what it could be.
Chill.
Exactly. If this thing truly gets unveiled by DF in a specs breakdown, I think we all know who the target audience is and it isn't someone who is price-conscious about their hobby.
EDIT: I almost think we might get a glimpse of what the price will be by knowing who is unveiling it. If it's DF, I'd expect over $400. If it's IGN, I'd expect no more than $400.
DF not necessarily the best place to announce Scorpio news especially when one of their regular contributors (and Gaf regular) has a distaste for Microsoft. Not sure if it really is that easy to throw aside deep seated opinions.

Has to be Digital Foundry. They are the leaders when it comes to console tech info.
