Is anyone else nervous about project scorpio

I am very nervous about project scorpio, but microsoft will likely over price it, the xbox one was 500 dollars at realease. Project scorpio will likely be $800+ and they will likely make us pay atleast 200 dollars extra for a kinect that will be slightly better from the last but still crap. They will also likely say the new kinect is essantial but then Start selling it seperatly a month later. Shooting the price up to 1000+ . Plus the cost of games will probably go up to like 70 once it is in 4k.

I'm worried people are going to use project scorpio in a veiled attempt to bash MS.

I don't think your even in the right ballpark with price. IMO. it will come in much cheaper.

@awkwardblobfish: Are you really serious with your questions? First there is no ay they are going to attempt to sell it at $800. I'm looking for $500 tops, Maybe even $450., Maybe even $300 with a trade-in of the current XB1. Second, Its common knowledge they have dropped the Kinect and will not be reviving it. Its ridiculous to think they would.

Clever. :)

Thank you :)

I'm not worried at all and your price speculation is way off. Also while they may have a Kinect bundle they'll most likely have it sold separately as well.

800 dollars would take away one of the biggest advantages consoles have over PC (cost), I don't think MS would do that.

my only question is why so soon. I get they're trying to unify console and PC gaming in some way, but their attempts to do so in the past have been...less than successful, to say the least.

Make you pay for a Kinect ?!? I thought that thing was DEAD, it's so dead that it has already rotted and all is left is bare bones.

@mastermetal777: I think the reason for Scorpio is for 4K and VR.

I'm not getting it, but I am excited for it. It'll be interesting to see what kind of change, if any, will be made to the console market. I'd like to see more powerhouses.

No. Microsoft is going to do whatever the hell they want - or, at best, what they think gamers want. It'll either be something worth buying, or it won't. No point worrying over it.

But I think they learned their lesson with Kinect. Kinect is dead. They'll likely keep some of the features, such as voice commands (because people like talking to their phones), but it'd be beyond asinine for them to try pushing anything else. VR will replace Kinect. And while they may offer bundles that include a VR setup, they aren't going to force anyone to buy it.

There's no way the thing costs $1000, unless it's actually a gaming PC in a console shell. More realistically, it will be around $600, depending on what's actually inside it. There's no way they drop the price on the XBox One S between now and when Scorpio is released. And if they're touting it as being 4.5X more powerful than the XB1, then it'll almost certainly have to cost at least twice as much as the basic version of that. But, again, until we know what the damn thing actually is, it's all just speculation and people pulling prices and opinions entirely out of their asses.

You want to worry about something? Worry about getting cancer.

It's not going to be $800+ for goodness sake... but it is going to be a premium product, and will most likely cost around the same as when XB1 launched (when Kinect was included, which drove the price up).

Its essentially a steam machine. It confuses me.

I'll get a new motherboard and processor for probably under 300, and outperform the scorpio, I'm good.
