$499 could still lead to a good holiday launch, but outside of that and Scorpio is dead alongside the XB1S.

1TB normal controller $399, 2TB Elite controller $499

There, just do that. The biggest reason XB1 flopped after launch was because it didn't have that $100 cheaper safety net.

 

[Keinning]

So how would everyone feel about a $599 Scorpio?

Now this is a price i can get behind. Fetch me four of these

 

[Grazzt]

I would still buy it at $499, but I wont be happy about it. I hope MS wont be this stupid.

 

[rokkerkory]

MS is stupid at anything over $450

Agreed with pretty much all this.

 

[daTRUballin]

What if it was $451?

I love your avatar.

 

[El_Chino]

I would pay $499 if it came with an Elite controller.

 

[Ambient80]

What if it was $451?

$450 - Fine
$451 - BOMBA

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

I'm a little confused, which person is assembling the hype trains?
------------

I'd like a ticket!

 

[Welfare]

I love your avatar.

It looks so cool, so I had to have it.

 

[rokkerkory]

What if it was $451?

guess my post wasn't clear enough

 

[FoeHammer]

I want on that damn train. I want on ALL the trains.

 

[LukasTaves]

So how would everyone feel about a $599 Scorpio?

Double the specs and we could talk.

 

[jbug617]

I listen to a bunch of E3 prediction podcasts the past week and nobody knows what to talk about when it comes to MS other than they can't show Halo or Gears.

 

[KodaRuss]

Isnt the Elite controller still $150. I would find that tougher to imagine than just the console with regular controllers at 399.

 

[LukasTaves]

MS is stupid at anything over $450

Any price starting with a 4 would be insta fail.

 

[DopeyFish]

Any price starting with a 4 would be insta fail.

LukasTaves does not approve of $49.99 confirmed

I really hope they will have great games to show.

 

[The Pet of the Month]

What if it was $451?

Brother, I literally have my butt hairs on the line if it's anymore than 399$.

 

[BleedOrange]

I love your avatar.

I wanna build that robot. How much would it cost to build something like that?

 

[rokkerkory]

Any price starting with a 4 would be insta fail.

$400?

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

I think they're fucked if it's any more than $399 and doesn't come with a pack in game, considering the Pro will most likely be cheaper and/or have a big game like Destiny or CoD bundled with it this Holiday.

 

[BleedOrange]

That's a real problem. MS has more than that, as probably most in this thread know, but they aren't inspiring imagination like Sony. They need to get their mojo back. Scorpio is a huge step in the right direction, they need to continue the momentum though.

The Xbox team should feel immensely proud of Scorpio, it's a fantastic achievement for the Xbox hardware and platform teams, but don't stop chasing greatness.

must hate 4.99 too

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

You're scaring me, Matt.

 

[NowhereFaded]

It was my understanding that we all agreed on 399$ usd
based on the subliminally placed numbers in the Scorpio trailer.
What changed???

 

[LukasTaves]

LukasTaves does not approve of $49.99 confirmed

You joke but a price like that would make it seem like it's a weak console or that there's a catch XD

And on the other hand, if it's successful it would broke them XD

 

[Kickz]

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

Are you not hyped??

 

[LukasTaves]

I wonder if we will see Code Vein at Ms presser?

Kinda odd to announce the game without any platforms.

$400?

399.99

 

[Keinning]

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

Oh bollocks.

Scorpio confirmed $700 and the only game is indeed Dead Rising 4 GOTY. It was good while it lasted folks.

The link between the $400 magazine from image-search + the teaser message on the Scorpio trailer is flimsy.

Not saying it's not $399, but it's still more speculative than it is an affirmative confirmed teaser element.

 

[Banamy]

Ive heard multiple gaming sites predict 599 lmao

 

[El_Chino]

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

 

[etta]

Anything over $399 and Phil hasn't learned shit.

 

[wbarreda]

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

Is this another "insider"?

There are a lot of very confident people in this thread.

why tease bad news? just say it

 

[Yearsoflurking]

Anything over $399 and Phil hasn't learned shit.

they're going to sell it as cheap as they can

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I wanna build that robot. How much would it cost to build something like that?

It will cost you the same price as one Scorpio

 

[Dynomutt]

Anything over $399 and Phil hasn't learned shit.

Yup. It could all be powered by the god particle for all I care. It's a console so it will be sold as one. $399.99 is the new standard for entry consoles. Period. Phil will deliver.

 

[Clancy]

why tease bad news? just say it

I mean, you guys *are* being extremely wishful. A Square Enix exclusive is NOT happening.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Is this another "insider"?

Yes.

 

[Somnia]

This shit reminds me before the WiiU announcement, guys are way too hyped. Calm down and just enjoy the show.

 

[HighResTomato]

Is this another "insider"?

Just another guy spreading FUD. He's been doing it for a while, shitting up Scorpio/Xbox threads.

 

[BeforeU]

MS is stupid at anything over $450

anything above $400 is stupid.

 

[chubigans]

Anything over $399 and Phil hasn't learned shit.

They have a $299 box that can go as low as $200 for the holidays with a ton of games as a pack in value to chase mainstream consumers. Why would they need another box that's way more expensive for that? No casual buyer is going to choose Scorpio over XB1S.

This is all about making sweet moolah off the same people who would buy a $150 controller instead of a $60 controller. This is a premium product. $449 at the lowest. I wouldn't be surprised at $499 with a game.

 

[Banamy]

Imagine if scorpio gets league of legends, obviously with keyboard and mouse required

 

[Art Vandilay]

Just another guy spreading FUD. He's been doing it for a while, shitting up Scorpio/Xbox threads.

Dude really has been a buzzkill lately.

 

[Colbert]

So how would everyone feel about a $499 Scorpio?

No issue with that as it lies within my expectations.
