You said "they should have gone for.." like it's a mistake that already happened. Like, wut?
I don't think that's likely but sure, that would definetly wow people. And at that point Switch would kind of get into trouble.

Precisely.
I don't care how much they tinkered with it, it's still a massive bottleneck for the 6TF GPU.

Come on, that's unrealistic.
There are logical reasons why it could be above $399. Besides even if it launches at that price, it still won't be a huge seller compared to the PS4 or XBOS.
1) there's a good chance MS will sell it at a loss if it's $399 IMO. However with them expecting XBOS to outsell Scorpio, maybe the profits from the XBOS will make up for the losses with every Scorpio sold (assuming the XBOS is sold at a profit).
2) Scorpio is a mid generation refresh, just like the Pro. I also wouldn't expect any next gen console until 2020 at the earliest. I expect both Sony and MS to launch the same year again as well. Neither will want to give the competition a year advantage.
Edit:
I don't think either MS or Sony had many other options for their refresh consoles.

...what?
PS4 Pro slam!
-X10S
-Xbox One-Zero (Scorpio)
I'm going on record as guessing that Scorpio's product name will be "Zero", as in:
-Zero compromises
-Zero competition
-Zero fucks given.
Its supposed to be about going back to their roots and capturing what made Xbox great. Also fits in with Microsoft's numbering non-system.
More info on Sony's sweet software line up, upcoming Switch titles and Scorpio details... This E3 is going to rock.

You do realize the current gen came out in 2013 right? Haha
Not a lot of people would be willing to pay $100 or more for a better CPU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, while Sony had the luxury to undercut the price of the PS4 at launch for $399 in November 2013, can MS do the same with Scorpio? I'd be very surprised if this gets priced below $499! My guess $499-$599 $599 offering a 2tb HDD and $499 offering a 1Tb HDD. Or who knows perhaps MS does undercut the price of the Scorpio and throw a curve-ball at us with a $399 entry price.

The thing is: they want to push 4k as much as they can while keeping the costs down. What do you do? Invest in a better GPU, RAM and that's pretty much it.
There's no need for a better CPU if they want to push 4K.

2022, that's like 5 years from now. iPad will out perform Xbox One by then.

Isn't Jaguar a netbook powered CPU and it also happens to be a common bottleneck for both MS and Sony, remembering hearing it from the folks at Digital Foundry in one of their tech analysis videos

Obviously, MS did the math.

How long was the last gen ? that gen didn't have mid gen refresh either, i just can't see it being as early 2020.
No way. The successor to Scorps will be 2019. Scorpio will take the place of the One S.
Ps5 will be out at the very latest 2020. Probably 2019.
7 years, PS3 to PS4

399 wouldn't be undercutting the Pro, it would be equal. Sony will likely drop the price to 349 regardless of Scorpio's price, so I don't see a way for MS to actually "undercut."

I'm primarily interested in seeing their first/second party announcements.

$399 would be insta-buy for me
No, but it's being teased in the ad posted in the OP. I forgot to add "if true"
Now my only problem is that i live in an unsupported country and therefore the SRP wouldn't translate to exactly 400 dollars, but anything around that price range, I'm already sold.
And people complain consoles are underpowered 😒
You should share whatever you're smoking.
Or 8 years if we look at when the generation started with the 360. =)
It will be interesting to see if MS and Sony use the Pro and Scorpio to extend this generation or if they launch a next gen console in a few years.

139fps... Is that running on an "evolved Jaguar" ?

Thing is MS can release a new console too in 2020 if Sony release PS5 in 2019, because Sony give them reason able to do this.

Personally I wouldn't give the system a second look if it was over $400.
MS seems invested in this generationless idea. I don't think Sony was expecting much out of the Pro. Just giving people options.
Why?

nope. Peeps are just setting themselves up for disappointment and mock outrage like when Switch's OBVIOUS price was eventually revealed. LOL
