Xbox Scorpio Specs Coming Thursday 4/6

It seems devs are not that interested of the new power of a console.

I looked at Codemaster games and nothing is supporting PS4 Pro and new power - just the boost mode which any game can have.

No patches for PS4 Pro for Dirt Rally for one, and an evasive answer for Dirt 4 not arriving soon.

I like racing games more than anything else.

I suspect Granturismo Sport will be the first, which is sad if that is the case - it does not look good for Scorpio either.

Will Forza be the only one really bothering with supporting it fully?

I mean monitors lasts a good while, and not that many 4K monitors out there yet - in percentage.

And it will be maybe 2 years before Scorpio will have volumes enough to really make it worthwhile to make the effort.

So will devs bother to apply PC-like graphics or to ability of console - or just go for Xbox One level?

Does not seem that devs bother that much - just what make sales - or not.

Ha, money is not a problem for me. If they advertise it enough, people will still be dope and get it.

Seems pretty impressive. Friend of mine thinks it will go for $499.00, while I'm going with $699.00. Any guesses on price from the 10 or so people left in these forums?

More good news from Digital Foundry about the Scorpio.

Project Scorpio will support FreeSync and HDMI 2.1 variable refresh.

Just a little bit excited by the reveal.

But don't forget that a PC with those specs are something like $2000-$2500 or so.

On the other hand "win developers back" can tell MS want to regain volumes.

But again

"Ybarra told Leadbetter Project Scorpio is designed for "that premium customer, the gamer that expects the absolute best versions of the games" - so expect it to be priced accordingly."

But how much to please developers if they have to make games for X1 and struggle to make it run in an acceptable way, so Scorpio exclusive titles may be to be expected.

X1 titles will diminish rather quickly - since it's loosing out to PS4 every day - why keep feeding this looser creature.

So yes, feel back and forth - how to solve this equation - get enough volumes for Scorpio for publisher to be excited releasing titles - and not a black hole for MS to dump money.

So figure $800 might be something to expect - not to be disappointed in the end. And something exclusive to own.

But to seriously move sales to Xbox - $600 might be way to go.

Things that would matter to me is also user interface much more customizable the way you want it. X1 is really cripled and many strange choices MS did how to use that dashboard space.

Another two months till we know....

I really have no idea what it will go for, however, no matter what it is I expect these forums to get bombarded with threads saying it's too high.

If there's one thing I've learned watching gamers these days it's the fact that most of them can't afford their hobby. They think games should be $5 and everything else should be free. lol

If I was forced to guess a price I'd say not less than $499.99. A sane person would expect it to be higher.
