E3 2017: Xbox One X Scorpio Release Date Revealed

@trolleyproblem: only to the tech enthusiast crowd -- which are the vast minority. the 4k checkerboarding tech sony is using with the pro looks almost as good as native 4k, especially when sitting on the couch 5 or 6 feet away from the tv. digital foundry has done numerous comparisons on this subject. the average person who already owns a pro will be satisfied enough with that and won't feel the need to jump on the x. i don't see the x converting sony gamers to xbox gamers -- rather, it will mainly cater to those who are already in the xbox camp and only the most hardcore of tech enthusiasts at that. i predict reasonable sales at first but a sharp decline after the holiday season for the x.

@yangwenli1: While you are in the majority, most of you guys are thinking based on what you "want", and not what is "feasible". While I wished that the console was worth $400 dollars, it was my WISH.

Fact is, this console boasts not only good specs on the sheet, it has great cooling system and takes lesser space on my table. It is a premium product. For those that do not wish to have it, Xbox S and Ps4Pro are great alternatives. However, I am fairly certain that developers will utilize this console to develop better looking games, just like they did back when the debate of resolution gate was going on between ps4 and xbox.

Also, remember, Xbox barely has sold 30M units. PS is at 60M units. There is a potential market out there of those who deemed PS4 as superior alternative to Xbox due to its hardware specs. Whether you want to buy it or not, is your decision at the end of the day. However, "Xbox is not as powerful as PS4" is not going to be one the reason any more.

In addition, you are incorrectly assuming that it is 500 dollars for making current games prettier.

If it is a difference between Xbox consoles, it is what 250 dollars more expensive when compared to Xbox One S for a 4x more powerful console?

If it is a difference between PS vs Xbox, then it is a 100 dollars more expensive console that provides 40% additional resources to make games look prettier. Whether developers take advantage or not, the platform is now available and "Xbox is weak" argument ain't the truth any more.

Also, While 4k tvs are not the main stream, there are people who will buy it because it still makes their 1080p games look better than any other console on the market.

My 2 cents.

@yangwenli1: I didn't say 4k means better frame rate, I said the X will provide ​that for your 1080p setup. 4k isn't going anywhere in the next 2 to 3 years, 8k is the next step and that's at least 8 years away for affordability.
