If they are smart? Yes. As the "one" name is rather tainted. Better to start a new, and I kind of like Scorpio, it reminds a bit of when SEGA was around and actually named their consoles. Not just adding numbers to it.

Xbox X sounds kind of stupid but I guess the X in Roman numerals would be appropriate to coincide with Windows 10.
Probably Xbox One X though

From the looks of it, Ms is sticking to "Xbox One" brand for consoles. Even for the ones that come out after scorpio.

I could see Xbox 10 for Windows 10. Xbox 10, the console synonymous with PC gaming.
Really? For the ones after scorpio too? Weird...

That doesn't really slide off the tongue very well.

Lmao.
You people need to realize that just like the Surface Pro (newest one dropped the number), the Scorpio will just be called "Xbox". They will change the packaging of all games including the Xbox 360 to just say Xbox, because they will all work on any system (I take that back, the 360 ones will still say 360).
Book it, it will just be called "Xbox"

Well spill the beans then
So what's the cost?
I'm going with sometime in August, as I don't see them missing the Middle Earth Shadow of War release timeframe. They'll want to have Scorpio available for that game, along with all the other releases this year.
Please elaborate. I, for one, doubt the price will be egregious. No more than $499 or they are dead in the water. Honestly, I expect $399.
Share what you heard. I'm scared now.
There have been some hints that things are ahead of schedule. I think the "Holiday 2017" may have been them sandbagging to avoid the chance of missing expectations. I could be wrong, but I'm hoping they are just underpromising and overdelivering. The price falls into the same category. All this talk about it being "premium" means either A) they have been preparing us all along for a stupidly high price tag or B) they are setting us up with high price expectations only to spring a lower price on us (that is still higher than everything else) that makes us feel better. As I think about it more, it could probably go either way.
If this thing is $600+ though I think they've officially lost touch with reality. The only thing that has me thinking they could try it is the success of the Elite controller. That thing sold well at $150, so they very well could be thinking they can sell a console for 2.5x or so.
They said that last year and Phil has had a complete​ model at his house for like over 2 months.
I know. But if they knew it was possible to be ahead of schedule i think holiday 2017 is still abit weird. Unless you are sure you wanna release in that window.
Then share? Otherwise your info is useless to us.
Exactly

"Scary" would have to be 599 and that's not happening.
Well, as I said, take this with a pinch of salt. I personally hope it's wrong.
But what they said was that 599 (not sure of currency - I guess either € or US$) was actually what it cost TO BUILD.
Just to be clear - I'm not vouching for the accuracy of this. I'm very skeptical myself, but I just wanted to share.

Now that would be next gen 60 FPS gaming on what is normal 30 on consoles today, put in about 10 TF and it will be what I would expect from Ps5 / xb2 in 2019 / 2020. Would probably require a smaller node than current 14/16 nm. Roll on next gen.
Back on topic, 100 $ more than ps4 pro at first
Expecting/hoping for 399 base and a 499 version with an SSD in it.

Does that include R&D?

Production of electonic is always in $, no matter what.
Do you talk about Xbox Scorpio, or Ps3?
Because the former is certainly sub $399 in production.
A fucking IPhone or GTX Titan is cheaper to produce (cheaper than 400)

Well...yeah lets take that with a tiny nanometer pinch of salt.
Unless they have some super secret hardware feature not tied to the main chip set or they will build the thing from metal(they wont) I doubt it will be that much money to make.
599 to build sounds more like a retail price and not the cost for production

It depends on the supply chain but also the company paying. Most of Nintendo's costs for instance are in JPY. This was a very big factor when the Yen was really strong around the time they were trying to launch the WiiU.
