Honestly, what does Microsoft need to do with Scorpio to solidify your purchase?

At this point, an xbox to me is not a necessary thing to have. I feel like having windows is a necessary thing to have. The Scorpio can have all the bells and whistles it wants but imo, software is all I need and the Xbox at this point doesn't have the same flare it did back in the day. The loyal and faithful will stand behind them because Microsoft makes what they want and there's nothing wrong with that....but I don't really care for the hardware anymore. I'm over it....I buy systems because the investment I know I'm getting back with software...and Microsoft just hasn't done that for me even when I've bought their systems. Give me diversity in games, give me another palate that isn't just guns, sports and cars. Make something else be the eye of the show and let the ones you've built up fall back for once.
 
I don't care about 4K unless my TV breaks so make it good for 1080p too.

Start caring about your games past release, Halo MCC, don't be so into games as services, new IP, do campaign expansions. Don't buy timed exclusives unless it would never be made. A game world to get lost in that isn't micro transaction central. Bring escapism back. For god sake do something new with Halo, the Universe is huge.

Modding, community building, just let the games go off in their own directions with tool support and help get mods and game types back to the masses for consumption. You never know what great stuff they might come up with.
 
Huge amount of exclusives, but I've a PC that is more powerful than Scorpio and an Xbox One, so is about impossible to me that I'll buy one. If they'll do exclusive games for Scorpio it's possible in future.
 
Be as good as they have said it will be. It will be were I play all my third party games due to the power advantage, the controller and ecosystem which I prefer. It will take the place of what the 360 was for me last gen, were I play all third party games and play their exclusives and I will use ps4 and switch as exclusive machines.
 
I just want as much 4K content as possible, as well as a lot more storage. (I'm on the verge of filling up my 2 TB Xbox One S.)
 
It would have to be something breakthrough because Sony has me covered on games and VR. They can't just one-up the PS4 Pro.

I honestly don't know. Maybe something with AR?
 
Exclusive games and affordable price to get access to them.

I have a gaming PC where I play most multi-plat's so Scorpio just being more powerful doesn't cut it for me and a PS4 with enough of an exclusive library to be worth it.

Scorpio would have to make sense to add to that. If it's just a more powerful XB1 with no major change in level of exclusive titles then I won't be getting one.
 
If I didn't already have an Xbox One in the house, I might be more inclined to join the hype circle - knowing how little I've made use of it however prevents that.

It was somewhat the same situation with the Switch, however the Wii U has had a lot more play time in comparison.

This. I have no use for my Xbox One right now and there is no way in hell I'm going to buy an Xbox one except a more powerful one of their first party output remains like this.
 
An unrealistic 100% clean break from the XB1 in terms of both games, and UI.

Scalebound was the only announced game that had me interested in buying a XB1 and that's canceled.
 
Great exclusives. Period.

I have never wanted an Xbox because I've almost never been interested in anything outside of Halo, and I'm over Halo now.
 
They'd have to absolutely floor me with both price and a ridiculous lineup of pie-in-the-sky game announcements. I don't see either happening, considering this thing has to run games that can play on a normal XBox One and we've had absolutely no rumors or speculation as to developers making a bunch of titles in secret for this thing.

I have a feeling we're going to get an E3 presentation of: "Sea of Thieves, now in 4K with HDR! Crackdown 3, with HDR and running at 4K (30fps only), also Halo 6 coming later, here's a teaser! And finally, all this at only 499.99 with 500GB storage!"
 
Nothing they can do as I'd rather just get their games on PC as I sold my X1 and finally got a gaming PC when the play anywhere program started.
 
As an xbox 360 fan, and now ps4/vita I honestly cant see myself buy a scorpio. No game I really look forward to anymore
Used to be a big gears of war fan

Really surprised about the MS strategy regarding all games on pc. Cant see where Scorpio comes in to the picture. Hope it succeeds

Having my eyes on a Switch, waiting for the first revision, thats where my HW money will go

(If I had a 4K tv perhaps a Scorpio would make sense for me)
 
This ship has already sailed, basically. The MS first party titles are as uninteresting to me as they've ever been, and I owned the OG and 360. There's really nothing there for me except the power, and I imagine I'd do better with a PC if I ever felt the need to go that route.

It'd have to be an impulse buy and that's just not going to happen.
 
Im guessing those who game mainly on Xbox will upgrade? Seems like a nice device for them.

Now that Ms first party is on PC not really anything drawing me to the Xbox brand anymore. If I didn't have a PC id probably get one for being the most powerful console. But not now. I'll just wait for PS5 for my upgrade console. I get interesting first and third party exclusives on PlayStation.

So to sum not sure Ms can do anything for me outside of pulling first party from PC but even then I may not care. MS first party hasn't done much interesting for me in years outside of Forza Horizon 3 and Sunset Overdrive.
 
I don't know how to answer the question because I own a Xbox One, it doesn't get used much. It's not because of the resolution.

Xbox just doesn't have the exclusives for me to buy. A resolution increase doesn't change that. 5 to 7 years ago they did. And while the games may not have changed in name, imo they are not of the same quality as years past.

If they made new ip's that I were interested in, or if there current ip's where to increase in quality, then I would invest in Xbox.

That's the only way I would buy more into Xbox, not "true real 4k" or whatever
 
PC and Switch pretty much cover my bases, but I guess something extremely unlikely like "every game supports stereoscopic 3D" would reel me in.
 
Not price it higher than $500

$350 will make me buy it ASAP
$400 will make me buy it
$450 will make me almost certainly buy it
$500 will make consider my purchase, but probably buy it

But at $550 or $600 Im better off just buying a better PC
 
I'll actually need a UHD Blu-ray player for my new media room, so I figure I might as well go for an Xbone S or Scorpio.

It'll really depend on price, I guess. I already have a powerful PC to play MS exclusives, but if Scorpio is $399 or so then I might as well.
 
Needs to not have a comically expensive price tag and they need to announce some worthwhile looking games to get me interested, because the release schedule for Xbox One is dire right now. More Forza, Gears and Halo is simply not going to cut it anymore... and tbh, even if they do announce something more interesting, it's going to be hard to trust them to actually deliver on the announcement after the past yearor so's shenanigans.
 
Exclusive Japanese games.
Or at least the same Japanese games that PS4 gets.
Otherwise I've got a pc for when I want the best graphics. Forza is no gran turismo and I think I'm kinda burned out on gears or war. I'm no longer interested in halo.
Even if they do none of this, at least come out with some new IPs or get some exclusives.
If if comes to windows 10 then that's one less reason to buy Scorpio as far as I'm concerned.
But the main thing is Japanese dev support.
 
Games I want to play. Surprise me. Delight me. I never use my Xbox One as is, and I'm currently contemplating letting my Gold Membership lapse next month, but they can get me back on board with some dope ass game ass games. Something in addition to Cuphead and Below.
 
I'm not sure how much Xbox games on PC matter because high end PC owners probably aren't a high percentage. It's probably more of a perception issue which I doubt causes much fuss either beyond a place like GAF or similar enthusiast sites.
 
Basically go balls to wall crazy on scorpio versions of their games. Like I want to see a very clear difference. As much graphical bells and whistles as they can push for.

I feel on some of the counts Sony has been a bit too cautious with Pro Mode.
