Not sure why MS would let the cat out of the bag this early. Sony would just release the PS5 with better specs starting this cycle over again. Maybe MS is banking on the 1 year head start and pray to god it becomes another 360 miracle?

So...what's the point of the consoles?

Convenience, price, ease of use, smaller form factor. You realize most games these days aren't exclusives, yet people still bought 60+ million current gen consoles so far.

O wow, that is more powerful than PS4K.

This should push Sony from their current 2nd to 3rd place quite easily.

I'd be cool with PC and XBO all playing the same game. It would basically make XBO a high accessible form factor PC and make each have by far the top libraries in all of gaming.

But that is only if they put a regular windows10 in XBO1.5 to play all the pc titles.

Sony is not awash with money like MS. MS is going to take a hit if their machine is 6 tflops. Sony can't afford losses.

Actually, XBO has the larger APU chip i.e. ~363 mm^2 against PS4's 348 mm^2. Without 32MB ESRAM, XBO could have 28 CU GPU instead of 14 CU version. GDDR5 related issues wouldn't exist in the next round.

Why release a 1.5 and then announce a 2 months later? Surely a recipe for disaster considering the current Xbone isn't doing well to begin with.

If that is the case, then say goodbye to the Xbox brand. There is no reason to rush to an X2 with the sales of the X1. Phil is a genius....

Haha yeah, the X1 is selling like crap compared to the PS4 and yet they wanna release a X1.5 (even though Phil said he didn't like that idea) and right after that a Xbox 2? Doesn't make any sense but then again, we're talking about MS here.

What is the point of releasing an expensive 6 Tflops console if it's going to be held back by the weak X1, and if they are releasing a next gen console within a couple of years? Any game that is made to run at 30fps on the X1 will have no problem running at 60fps @1080p with highest settings on the PS4 Neo. The 4.4 Tflops in the PS4 Neo is more than enough as a mid gen upgrade. It could be that the Scorpio will support 4K native in games, but I don't see the point for that yet.

I does make you wonder how Microsoft are going to maintain backwards compatibility while having a competitive edge.

The ESRAM is a huge problem, as long as they have to incorporate that it will never be as powerful as the PS4 using the same process and they would need to increase the size of it to make it work at higher resolutions, and second they used DDR3 which is lower latency than GDDR5 so if MS was to switch to the same RAM Sony has their old games would not work 100% correctly, the only option they have to to switch to DDR4 and carry on using the ESRAM solution, which means lower end GPU or CPU.

The only other options for an advantage is to use a bigger die, or overclock the crap out of it, or drop support for backwards compatibility.

2nd place? What the hell are you talking about? This is either a poor attempt at trolling or you are incredibly ignorant of the reality of the situation.

I guess they could use a combination of DDR4 + HBM as a frame buffer.

@charizard1605:

For PS4 NEO,

Assuming 8 core ZEN Lite LP is just L2/L3 cache gimping, The CPU yields about 400 GFLOPS. 8 core ZEN has two 100 GB/s north-bridge links and it should overcome AMD's CPU 20 GB/s I/O limit.

The GPU with 36 CU and 911 Mhz clock speed yields 4.19 TFLOPS

Total programmable compute power: 4.59 TFLOPS

The GPU with 36 CU and 960 Mhz clock speed yields 4.4 TFLOPS

Total programmable compute power: 4.8 TFLOPS

AMD ZEN has AVXv2 which includes GPU style gather instructions.

--------

For Xbox Scorpio

From http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/25/11774294/xbox-one-slim-one-two-scorpio

We don't know Scorpio's 6 TFLOPS only refers to GPU or total system.

Total programmable compute power: 6 TFLOPS

The difference between Xbox Scorpio and PS4 NEO ranges between 1.2 to 1.81 TFLOPS.

It's relatively easy for Sony close the gap against Xbox Scorpio's 6 TFLOPS e.g. employ existing leaked Polaris 10

1. 36 CU at 1266 Mhz which yields 5.85 TFLOPS.

2. 36 CU at 1050 Mhz which yields 4.84 TFLOPS

It would actually be four years with a 2017 release and that would put it in the same release time as the Xbox to Xbox 360.

Path ahead for Sony is pretty simple. Lean on the Neo for another three years and leverage the entrenched fanbase to win exclusivity as well as let the dust clear on VR. Then, PS5.

Meanwhile, MS and Nintendo are back at square 1 trying to build a generation that may or may not even be relevant.

PS4.5 will be outdated, inferior hardware before you know it. Bow to your new leader. The Scorpio.

These idiots are really about to shoot themselves in the foot. The console hasn't had any life YET but they're already abandoning it 3 years in. MS moves on too fast. 1.5 can be a relaunch of sorts but Xbox 2??

The 1.5 idea is actually good for them and desperately needed, but Xbox 2 ALREADY ? Well, I look forward to the disaster.

They won't, cause UWP.

Wonder if they try and pull a TR on herms? Does the Winstore have good deals?

Well we don't know exactly what the plan is here or what's even true about this, but four years to an entirely new console is not unheard of. It also doesn't sound like they're abandoning it, it sounds like they're building some kind of ecosystem, how that is all going to pan out is anyone's guess.

We need new games too.

My Xbox and Xbox 360 had a lot of great games

My Xbox One hasn't had a lot of great games.

If people upgrade their hardware they want remastered games not backwards compat ones that look like 360

That's why people upgrade PC to get best version of games.

I hope these new xbox ones will fix issues with the gaming library and improve old games like owning a powerful PC does.

Glad the rest of us don't have your Xbox One. Ours has great games. Maybe yours is under warranty still?

Xbox - Fable, Knights of Old Republic, Halo 1-2, Dead or Alive

Xbox 360 - Mass Effect, Gears of War, Halo 3

Xbox One - Halo 5 (meh) Halo MCC (meh) Dead Rising 3 (meh) Sunset Overdrive (meh) Ryse (meh)

It's been meh on xbox one its been wonderful on the xbox and 360

Xbox - Fable (meh), Knights of Old Republic (meh), Halo 1-2 (meh), Dead or Alive (meh)

Xbox 360 - Mass Effect (meh), Gears of War (meh), Halo 3 (meh)

Xbox One - Halo 5, Halo MCC, Dead Rising 3, Sunset Overdrive, Ryse

It's been meh on xbox and xbox 360 its been wonderful on the xbox one.

Flipping his statement doesn't vindicate you. He destroyed you actually

The first two Xbox consoles had strong AAA showings by any standard. The Xbone has been the downfall of all their flagship software not named Forza. That's a fact

You are looking at this like a traditional console generation which it is not.

They are simply moving to an iterative model business where they continue to release new hardware while keeping products both forwards and backwards compatible. Microsoft and Sony won't drop support of the OG XB1/PS4 until the Xbox 3.0 and PS5.0 get released. I think supporting a console after two generations of iterative hardware is released is plenty. That's a good 6+ years of support for each gen of hardware released going forward.

I think its more likely we'll see just a Slim this year, and a more powerful XB1 next year (as Kotaku article says).

And its weird that the source in OP says he's unsure whether the new console will be backwards compatible, when Spencer emphasised that future consoles will be backward and forward compatible.

Thats a good idea. New Xbox would be the death of the Xbox franchise

4 years is short, barely 4 years is extremely short. It's not confidence inspiring for an Xbox only owner. Your system is obsolete before the greatest games even come out ? Meanwhile your competition is soaring ?

They need a slim, and then a more powerful UPGRADE. with PS4 killing, NO-ONE will pay attention to a new Xbox.

They can't do this like the cellphone business If thats what MS is thinking. An UPGRADED XBone is fine, but a new Xbox will tank. WHat's the greatest Xbone game of the gen or do you think its yet to come out ? If a. you cant name it or b. you think its yet to come out then its sure as shit too early to tell consumers to buy an Xb2 when PS4 is destroying the market.

They should do what Sony is doing, same console slightly more power. So consumers don't feel shafted

Don't act like the PS4Neo is not going to make the PS4 obsolete either.

It won't. They will share a library and nothing will be exclusive to NEO. That's what MS should do, not an Xbox 2. You're not very smart are you...

What is the point of releasing an expensive 6 Tflops console if it's going to be held back by the weak X1, and if they are releasing a next gen console within a couple of years? Any game that is made to run at 30fps on the X1 will have no problem running at 60fps @1080p with highest settings on the PS4 Neo. The 4.4 Tflops in the PS4 Neo is more than enough as a mid gen upgrade. It could be that the Scorpio will support 4K native in games, but I don't see the point for that yet.

Full 8 core ZEN's "Summit Ridge" chip size is ~122 mm^2. This ZEN is almost SoC i.e. just missing the GPU. Summit Ridge includes northbridge, southbridge and memory controllers.

Polaris 10's chip size is ~232 mm^2. Apply Vega's 4X perf/watt improvement to further lower the TDP. Polaris 10 includes memory controllers.

Total SoC (System on chip) size = 354 mm^2

For reference, Total Xbox One SoC size = 363 mm^2

8 core ZEN Lite LP could reduce it's chip area size by reducing L2 and L3 cache size.

Between Xbox 360's 240 GFLOPS GPU and Xbox One's 1.32 TFLOPS, the jump is 5.5.

Between Xbox One's 1.32 TFLOPS GPU and Xbox Scorpio's 6 TFLOPS, the jump is 4.5.

Remember, Intel AVXv2 instruction set includes GPU style gather instruction.

Sometime in 2017, PC gets ZEN+ which replaces ZEN. Hopefully includes Intel AVX-512bit wide SIMD. 8 Core ZEN+ 2Ghz with AVX-512bit yields ~800 GFLOPS.

Intel AVX-512 includes GPU style scatter instructions.

Next gen AMD SoCs would have double Fusion model i.e. Intel's Fusion model + AMD's Fusion model.

So xbox has not released more AAA titles? You need to start counting. Xbox has 3 car racing first party exclusives already. Sony had 1. I think it released two shooters. xbox 4 first party shooters.

4 games ahead in margin already. If we include other titles xbox and Sony are about even.

Are you..you're serious?

ok, i'll humor you...go ahead and "NAME" those AAA xbone games for me, maybe you know something I don't.

I list all the AAA titles for xbox one so far,,. Ryse, Dead Rising, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, Halo5, Halo MCC, Gears Ultimate, Tombraider( to be released on PS4) Killer instinct, Forza 5, Forza 6, FH2

14 AAA titles you count yours and they have to be AAA

Thanks for that...ok now I can officially say...

Should I even bother counter replying to this when you're counting remasters and confirmed multiplats also coming to PS4 to help fill help fill out the mega thin xbone library of "AAA" titles here?

Do you know how badly I could own you using your own criteria? You can't even count properly that's only 12 games lol at you saying 14 trying to stretch that thin selection.

Honestly, LMAO for you to make the claim that xbone has far more AAA than PS4, that list is even worse than I thought it would be.

So 12 games huh? That (4 of which are only available on xbone) is your serious submission for making that outlandish claim that xbone has FAR more AAA games than PS4???

12 AAA games, far more than PS4...........................................REALLY???

These idiots are really about to shoot themselves in the foot. The console hasn't had any life YET but they're already abandoning it 3 years in. MS moves on too fast. 1.5 can be a relaunch of sorts but Xbox 2??

The 1.5 idea is actually good for them and desperately needed, but Xbox 2 ALREADY ? Well, I look forward to the disaster.

Well we don't know exactly what the plan is here or what's even true about this, but four years to an entirely new console is not unheard of. It also doesn't sound like they're abandoning it, it sounds like they're building some kind of ecosystem, how that is all going to pan out is anyone's guess.

4 years is short, barely 4 years is extremely short. It's not confidence inspiring for an Xbox only owner. Your system is obsolete before the greatest games even come out ? Meanwhile your competition is soaring ?

Scorpio will accept Xbox One games. Don't start dreaming up rumors on top of rumors. You just spent a gen doing that.

Yeah right now but it's not going to stay that way in the future. If you don't think so you are not the smart one.

I Spent a whole gen dreaming up what rumors ? lol and you totally missed the point. How can a 6TF console share games with an Xbone ? Think about it...

Lmao these losers already throwing in the towel? I feel bad for any idiot that exclusively supports a Microsoft console. 3 years in, Xbox 2 hahahah GEEZ

It would actually be four years with a 2017 release and that would put it in the same release time as the Xbox to Xbox 360.

These idiots are really about to shoot themselves in the foot. The console hasn't had any life YET but they're already abandoning it 3 years in. MS moves on too fast. 1.5 can be a relaunch of sorts but Xbox 2??

You are looking at this like a traditional console generation which it is not.

They are simply moving to an iterative model business where they continue to release new hardware while keeping products both forwards and backwards compatible. Microsoft and Sony won't drop support of the OG XB1/PS4 until the Xbox 3.0 and PS5.0 get released. I think supporting a console after two generations of iterative hardware is released is plenty. That's a good 6+ years of support for each gen of hardware released going forward.

They can't do this like the cellphone business If thats what MS is thinking. An UPGRADED XBone is fine, but a new Xbox will tank. WHat's the greatest Xbone game of the gen or do you think its yet to come out ? If a. you cant name it or b. you think its yet to come out then its sure as shit too early to tell consumers to buy an Xb2 when PS4 is destroying the market.

They should do what Sony is doing, same console slightly more power. So consumers don't feel shafted

The new PS4.5 and XB1.5 will simply be an option for consumers. Nobody has to upgrade or buy those consoles they are just there because there is a market for it, especially if the price isn't too high. If one doesn't own a PS4 or XB1 yet then more than likely they will choose the more powerful versions if the price isn't drastically higher.

O wow, that is more powerful than PS4K.

This should push Sony from their current 2nd to 3rd place quite easily.

2nd place? What the hell are you talking about? This is either a poor attempt at trolling or you are incredibly ignorant of the reality of the situation.

PC counts here, genius.

@FireEmblem_Man: LOL @ lems wasting $500 on a weak underpowered piece of shit console with no exclusives that was outdated the day it was announced.

The joke is on you lems. MS is taking you all for a ride down flopville.

@xhawk27: Never said they were. I myself am waiting for E3 before I go celebrating on the forums like an idiot. Anything is subject to change. I still remember rumors saying the PS4 was gonna use 4GB GDDR5 and was gonna launch after Xbone, we saw how that turned out. None of the specs or launch dates are confirmed until the companies announce them.
