A true 4K gaming device for less than a 1000 bucks is impressive. If they can keep it around that 600 price range and it performs as they claim, I would be interested.
@neowarrior793: "600 is too much, no matter what your offering"
If what you're offering is worth 600 or more it's not. A true 4K gaming device would be outputting four times the pixels of the current consoles 3840p × 2160p. You realize how difficult that is even for high-end PC's? (At least at a decent frame-rater) You could not build a 4K PC for anywhere near that. The graphics card alone would be 500 or 600 bucks, if not more.
"a parent will not pay £600 for a console, just for a kid to play games"
I don't really think kids are their primary target demographic with the Scorpio. Plus, yes there are parents willing to drop insane amounts of money on their kids gadgets. Otherwise you wouldn't see every 12 year-old with the latest $700 iPhone.
@phbz: Legally no ones saying the devs shouldn't. However it is very childish on their part to take their toys and go home because how Palmer spends his money.
@S_tephe_N: It depends on how the developers allocate the power, weather or not the frame rate is locked or optional to the player, ect. (Most on consoles are locked) If anything extra power will keep a more solid frame rate and minimize rate dips.
