I've gotten myself all hyped up damn it. I don't understand specs all that well so I will have to have someone else break that down for me and explain the value. I want to see the box though!

No prob. That's why we're all hoping to get the good news on this. Unless somehow miraculously Stinkles wasn't completely bullshitting and it ends up being an Intel CPU. Before anyone asks, it was a throwaway comment about "having Intel" and not serious.

I hope they actually give information on specs rather than "6 teraflops" lol
OG xbox was a joke. Making something that big in fears of a RROD. Hire a competent team then.
Significantly bigger than ps4, and yet weaker.

That would be a "history repeats" incident as this was exactly what happened with the first Xbox. They planned with AMD and on the reveal they announced they go with Intel.
But you are right, not happening as we talk about a SOC here, not two separate processors like in the past.
it looked fine just too big

It was a bit wider than the ps4 buy it wasn't as deep add the ps4. I wouldn't call it a joke. Never had a problem with it unlike my coffined 360.
The head Surface guy Panos leads the Microsoft devices division now which includes Xbox.

If it is shown next week, props to ms for keeping the specs under wraps, amazed those haven't leaked.
I would have liked it to have integrated the PSU given the console's size but other than that it was fine. I thought it looked ridiculous when it was first revealed but when I got one it grew on me.
Na. They'll likely keep a similar design language to the XBO S which is a fantastic looking console.
I just felt the design and size was ridiculous, especially coming from the 360. 360 to Xbox one S was a more appropriate transition.
Looked like a bulky VCR.

Xbox One and One S are designed by the same team. Xbox One was rushed.
I didn't think the original Xbox One was an ugly looking console at all. Just very plain, basic, and boring. A typical black electronic media box. Similar style to an A/V receiver but smaller.
But anyway, Scorpio should look really nice. I think we will be surprised by some parts of its design. It's going to be very powerful but it may not look like it (since many think large in terms of power). I think MS will look closely to Apple as well as the original Xbox 360 in terms of the Scorpio's style; Sleek but powerful.

The 360 cost them 1.15 billion in rrod costs. I'm pretty sure corporate told the division if they pull that shit again, they're out. They were cautious. I still like the feel of it better than my ps4. Feels sturdier and is quieter. Sony did well though. They reduced costs and made a sharp system.

I could certainly accept an optimized, or further optimized, Excavator that went into AMD's latest PC APUs. That's just about the bare minimum I could accept for a non zen Project Scorpio.
Something in the range of an A12-9800E.

I'm pretty sure they weren't told that
you don't need to tell that any of your employees. everyone is aware, that you don't want to loose a billion dollar on silly mistakes. and you obviously don't want to repeat them
ask someone at Volkswagen, if they were told to never cheat again on emission software.
i highly doubt that
mutual consensus is the key word

They probably haven't leaked because there is nothing to leak. I doubt specs are any different than what we've known now for months.

Why not though? What if it could mean 60fps for every game? Not that I believe that would happen but still.

Case size has nothing to do with power, sigh.
Big box for utterly silent running. Wish more consoles did this.

Do you honestly believe that conversation didn't exist? Do you think Ballmer was like, "fuck it, just try your best. I believe in you".

Make it big if that's what it takes to keep it quiet. It would make it worth it alone for me if it was quieter than a PS4 Pro.

Interesting it'll be shown off now, assuming they will have some kind of killer app to show off the tech but the main question is if it'll be first party or third party. Microsoft leaks more then anyone so I'll be curious if what we see is actually a big surprise or if it'll even be exclusive.
I'm still far from convinced this is what Microsoft needs right now, they need a damn impressive lineup for this thing and need to be able to show a pretty big reason to buy it since it'll likely have a hefty price tag. What point is there to having better hardware if you don't have games to support it?
What I'd really like to see is Microsoft courting Japanese developers, there are so many games that the Xbox one just doesn't get right now (in the last few weeks, Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5HD, Zero Escape collection, and Persona 5 in a few days) and I think that hurts them more then anything else, they need a verity of titles to appease all types of gamers and so far the Xbox One has truly struggled with that. I think it would go a long way even though its not exclusive to show off KH3 on this thing but we will have to wait and see.

It was rushed. The launch OS was way worse than its design.

AMD Ryzen would be a great choice for the CPU. Please make it happen.

The PDF filed that leaked to Digital Foundry doesn't seem to suggest any substantial change / increase to the CPU

do you attend those kind of meetings, regularly?
unless you have a shithole like Ackermann as CEO, and personalities like him are gladly a rare case, you will never here "do that again and not only you but the whole division is done"
and yes of couse they talk about those issues.
just not the way you might imagine
so yeah. it's neither fuck it, just try your best. nor pull that shit again, you're out
