"I won't buy it at a high price"
A $200 Xbox one S makes this look even more laughable.
The mass market is not ready or asking for this. I think Scorpio will be an even bigger miss than the pro.

Too much and I'm someone who's picking it up.

Seeing the performance difference between this and Pro and the fact that each Scorpio is unique (Optimized for as low overhead as possible according to Digital Foundry) and even Freesync support, I think that's justifiable, but $450 would have been much better. $400 would have been a steal.
I remember Microsoft saying they wanted to let PC gamers stream to their Xbox, so hopefully that will be possible in 4K. It's too much of a hassle to set up my TV while my PC is already using dual 1080p displays.
I want to buy one, but Microsoft REALLY needs to be pumping out first party titles, and hopefully there's many features that entice me into buying one.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
RAM + Vapor cooling was always gonna be tough IMO for $399.

Just like the $150 Elite Controller, this will fail for being too expensive. I plan to buy one and really don't care how many others do the same, because just like the elite controller, I want the best xbox experience.

Lol no chance Geoff.
It's $399 or dead in the water and MS know that.

Sony to announce PS4 Pro pricedrop to 350 tomorrow? 
In all seriousness, hardware-wise $500 might be a justified price, but I wouldn't want to be the one marketing this thing.
It is for a console these days.

I mean, what do people expect? Do you want it to be weak and barely an upgrade? It's a premium console and $499 isn't even a premium price.

What game is worth another $500? They're freaking XBO games for goodness sakes. I own the base model and it was less when I got it.

LOL.
It will be 399. It has to be.
Anything higher is suicide. They are already selling the XB1 BUNDLED WITH A GAME for 250.
The Scorpio hardware doesnt sound that expensive unless they are gonna announce a surprise hardware change here

Geoff doesn't work for anybody besides himself (and Dorittos
). I think he's telling the truth, and that will be a hard pill to swallow for many.

Converted, that's roughly £390 for UK peeps.
SO EXPECT IT TO BE £499 AS ANNOUNCE AT THE PRESSER!

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Build a gaming PC for that. You'd be dense not too since there are no more Xbox exclusives.

No way was it going to be $399. This isn't going to sell to the casual audience, it's going to sell to the diehards who will spend the money.
For real. $500 has always been the most likely possibility.

Hard pass at $499.
Would have been in at $399.

And is a HD Blu Ray player which the pro isnt.
I think the problem is that they'd probably only have discounts/drops on the One S lineup. Has the PS4 Pro had any sort of widespread discount since its launch?

doesn't matter either way they're selling at a loss
