>But there is an elephant in the room here: price. Microsoft's brief to AMD in producing this behemoth of a semi-custom design looks pretty obvious - to create the most powerful console possible. The GPU is more powerful and it's going to be larger, which means it's going to be more expensive to produce. Meanwhile, assuming we're right about the 4GB of additional memory, that's not going to be cheap either - when we attended AMD's Munich launch event for Fury X and the Radeon 300 series, we were told that adding an additional 4GB of GDDR5 to the R9 390/390X cost around them around $30 per unit. In short, we would not be surprised to see Scorpio cost significantly more than Neo - maybe even $100 more.

Good thing the Bone S and PC will still play the same games Scorpio plays. Phil Spencer confirmed it on stage.
>>341244220
Yes but what's the point? All te games are also on PC
Exclusive titles are the only reason anyone who isn't a dudebro who doesn't know what he wants to play buys a console
>>341244220
Making a stronger console when it hasn't even have good games. Kek. MS are retarded.
>>341244494
I don't see the problem, they're merely targeting the "can't into PC, and want to play multiplats" audience. And it's often a bunch of retards that would've bought a $2000 alienware PC if they wanted one, so a even a $699.99 should be fine.

Since it shares all its games with W10, scorpio is just gonna be a locked-down PC.
>>341244730
xbox is feeling like the equivalent of steam machines now, just with less games
>>341245013
Xbox 1 S is completely different than Scorpio, retard.
>>341245013
are you retarded?
although microsoft probably is for calling "S" instead of "Slim" and cause scorpio confusion
>>341245013

thanks mom

>b-b-but it's going t-t-to cost 599$!
Its going to release one year from now, component prices will go down
Consoles sell at a loss
It's going to be $300
>But there is an elephant in the room here: price
This is correct. It was a miracle coincidence by itself that the PS4 turned out stronger than Xbox One.
Sony never paid for a stronger design.
They actually asked AMD to make a small and affordable processor chip.
And that's what they got from AMD, a smaller processor with fewer transistors.
Meanwhile Microsoft charged ahead like a bull without thought, putting everything and their grandmothers into the processor, making it huge and expensive. Well, it turns out it got a ton of transistors wasted on less cost effective things, and was just an overall bad idea.
This time Microsoft charge ahead again like a bull. They are paying AMD again for the largest chip.
But with more thought to the efficiency of processing. Because that's what they believe the gamers want.
But that shit is going to be expensive, which is exactly what gamers don't want.
Meanwhile Sony just do what they did last time, ask AMD for a small, lean and efficient enough chip.
Something that's more affordable
>new console called Scorpio
>call slim version Xbox One S
>hype up the $299 price tag
>people get confused and conflate the two
>shills start shouting SIX TERAFLOPS FOR THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS
Well done, M$.

stop this
so if xbone games work on windows 10, does that mean final fantasy 15 will work on windows 10? or does this only apply to exclusives
>>341246991
Microsoft Studios games and their play anywhere (tm) games
>>341246991
pretty sure it's only "exclusives", it's likely a limiting deal that would stop you from releasing the game on steam and need to be windows store
I'm sick of console gamers holding the industry back by demanding cheap consoles that do the bare minimum.
I think Sony and Microsoft should make their next consoles after this generation a couple hundred dollars more expensive than the launch price of these so that there is nobody holding back anyone.
Poorfag third worlders who don't even have a stable income, yet buy these shitty consoles en masse and create a market for "just good enough" games make me sick.
>>341247368
remember most steam users also have PCs that are hardly better than consoles if not worse
they're being catered to as well, devs want their game to run on that and lower settings doesn't always cut it, it has to fit into the game design
>>341247285
>implying that anyone other than /v autists care about exclusives
Making cross platform development easier means more developers making games, faggot.
>>341247368
Console gamers are the ones who keep the industry alive.
Without them you would be enoying your MMORPGs and LoL on PC.
