WEll that's beefy. Sounds like overkill.

Another article... a QA to be fair.

Gamasutra - Q&A: With Scorpio rising, Phil Spencer looks to the future of Xbox
Their hardware vision sounds nice. I'd sure buy a scorpio if I had money. Sounds like it'll be $400 too. Phil talks about the red ocean strategy still being a thing.

Doesn't seem to care that much for publishing games though. He seems focused on games as a service which is yucky for me.

What's up with the new high speed connector? That looks like a USB 3.0 type b port. Why would they need a dongle instead of just having the port integrated?

Also if you search google for PS4 dev kits, you'd see that they've had this port since day one.



The screen on the kit is OLED. For just displaying redundant information, that's incredibly overkill. I'd bet $5,000 forum bucks the retail units have an OLED screen there too.

Now I'm thinking Scorpio will be $500 and not pull a large profit.
