Agreed about the Nintendo Direct thing, I would be fine with that too. I would hate it if it's only a few articles and a few videos posted online. It's a bit unclear what Jez means here.

Agreed, and it's nice to see that unlike what people believe they will stick with the Xbox One moniker for next consoles as well, instead of getting rid of it as soon as possible.

I agree, with a small event you cant demonstrate 4K and HDR because of the quality of the stream and the non-HDR displays you watch it. The games have do the talk and the place to do it is E3 where you can ensure media and visitors can see native 4K and HDR in full effect.

LOL at this narrative, that Pro was some sort of disaster.
Yh it wasnt a disaster just boring and that had more to do with the way they presented it than revealing the Pro in my opinion.

Exactly. But I still think they will announce a different and much more lame/standard name. I think Phil did say it wasn't going to be Scorpio last year. Things can change of course.

Never. I'm team Ryzen. On record. Predicting 1-2 million Scorpios sold in 2017.
Jags are my football team.
My Astros are fully wireless, though chat quality sucks. Comfort and sound quality are too good to go back to controller wired headsets though.
Not sure if serious but of course. Graphics and performance can always be better and as long as there are options to do that on PC then there will always be a market for it.
I'm already looking at building my next PC and I have a 1080, 4690k at the moment. Its actually the Scorpio that is pushing me to do it if I'm honest.

...no one said the pro was a disaster.
The actual reveal event was underwhelming though, which is why a Scorpio event just talking about specs with no box or games would also me pretty meh

Im sure hes not doing that. But the pro is far from a disaster either.

I disagree. Its as much of a new console as any other new gen console. New specs, new features, new everything. Next gen or not, this is most definitely a new console, enough to be distinguished as such anyway. In my mind what youre describing would be like MS having a huge event simply for the xbox one s. Totally different.
The announcement event is what he was talking about, which was awful.

He uses IBM Watson cognitive computing applets scanning all posts about shit talking on Sony. It is as easy as it gets. Just sign into IBM BlueMix today and use those cloud service APIs to make your own scanner.
joke, but technically true and feasible right now

Do you own the latest A50s? I have been interested in getting those until I decided I couldn't justify for myself to spend more than 300 euros on them, especially when mic was crap quality. I went with the Turtle Beach 420x Plus and was surprised how good it sounds.
It's just a shame that there are many wireless headsets out there that all work fine on PC and PS4 but just aren't fully wireless on Xbox One. So far it's only Astro and Turtle Beach that are completely wireless.
If this is true, sweet.
This is new thread worthy.
GlasVegas actually .....

no. The actual reveal is a new thread worthy news imo.
The PS4 Pro reveal was fine. It was after E3 and Gamescom and before PSX so it wasn't the time for new games. I liked the focus on nerd stuff with Cerny and then the interviews with developers showing off their Pro content. Low on bombast but high on information for those who bothered to watch all two and half hours of it.
Also the Scorpio will have the same problem as the PS4 Pro; low bit rate SDR streams on Twitch or YouTube don't do 4K HDR justice. If it's true that Digital Foundry have the exclusive that might be a smart move, they will put high quality captures and analysis out there. I trust them to stay objective.

Nah. I would wait until Microsoft sends out something official or someone leaks some sort of press invite or press kit.

What am I supposed to be looking at here?
I just wanna know if he's credible or not
I believe it's true but its best to wait for official info
I think citing a Windows Central writer is suffice to begin a thread though
You can all say that in a 10 min video with Spencer and people who made it. A whole event for some specs we know already half of, new features? and "new everything" no sure what that means btw is way to much. The console is still gonna look like a Xbox One family console. Spencer said so himself so that is not gonna be real surprising also. Only big thing is the price really.

I said before just a quick 10 -15 minute video would do. Give the detailed specs and maybe show Forza 7. Save everything else for E3.
They don't need a 1 hour plus 'event' just for the hardware reveal. Sony's was dull because it was too long and the hardware was hardly exciting to begin with.

Yeah I don't think they should do an event. 10-15 minute video talking about it and the specs, show a few upcoming games on it and Forza 7, a few existing games. Maybe announce the price, or save that for E3. Don't do an hour long presentation

Phil said on the IGN podcast that the reason the space looks smaller at E3 is because they got rid of all the big useless screens running trailers and meeting rooms to replace with nothing but game stations where it's nothing but tvs and Xbox to play games. This is going to be so much better than the usual floor setting in the past and what Sony will do. Important since this year the event is public with lines of gamers wanting to play and not watch trailers on the show floor

How a console 4.5X times more powerful than the previous hardware can be considered in the same family ?
This looks like a Next Gen XBox if you ask me, and its graphics will make X1 looking like crap in comparison. Also, after 4 years, you might expect a next gen Console, like 360 after XBox. Ok 360 was much more powerful then the original XBox, but Scorpio too will make X1 looking very sad and last gen graphics.
And too bad for MS, PS5 will blow Scorpio away.

This was april fools afaik. You was able to see it by the Symbol for the "M" in Microsoft. But even then, the naming was my bet since the beginning #XboxOneX. Still hope for it.
If that is indeed the case that Forza X image may indeed be true
Lots of smoke all of the sudden. I don't think Scorpio needs its own event. Would much rather have multiple vidocs focusing on just the main features that highlight the console. Give me a video on specs, OS improvements, 4K benefits, 1080p benefits, etc.
Let's hope next week brings some news.

My KS8000 has a 4k YouTube app, so as long as they upload it in 4k it will be great. They should have an event at the movies like PlayStation for those without a 4KTV.
The A50s are sooo much more comfortable than the 420s and the sound quality is better. 420s have better voice chat though. I returned the 420s to get the A50 and I have that hooked up to the TV via optical and to the XBOX via USB so I use it for both wireless TV watching at night and gaming.

Yeh being serious man. I've got an i7 Asus gtx 1080 ftw gaming PC but man it gets expensive and tbh graphics have got to a point now where it already looks damn good and no amount of extra power gets it significantly better. I've also got a PS4 pro and Uncharted 4 graphics is better than most of the PC graphics Ive seen. A Scorpio is going to provide enough fidelity as does the Ps4 Pro so I can't see any point to keep investing in upgrading my PC. My opinion of course.
Lol April fools to the highest order
Because they said so? Its still gonna be a Xbox One. There are no exclusives for it. It runs all Xbox One games and controllers etc.
