At least Forza will look nice in 4k at 30FPS with HDR. But that's about the only reason I can think of for buying a Scorpio.

Who needs GameStop when Amazon will send a drone to your doorstep to deliver your games?

And I thought I was moving up in the world when I bought a Samsung EVO 850. Now I feel like console gamer trailer trash again :( Hopefully the new PCI 4.0 motherboards will come equipped with 6 standard M.2 slots if they're becoming the new norm.

The Switch's sales figures should really be benchmarked against the Wii U's performance. The Wii U sold 13.5 million, and most of those were Nintendo brand loyalists - buying the console for the exclusive first party games since 3rd party developers abandoned the console. So once the Switch sells 13.5 million, then Nintendo can assume they've catered to their fan base, and can start crediting additional sales of the console towards the "novelty" of the design and method of play.

I'll pick it up for $20 during the next Steam summer sale. It's only 95 days away, so hopefully they'll have the technical issues sorted out by then.

This kind of righteous fervor coming from a country that was originally founded as a penal colony to house the degenerates of the British empire? Uh, okay...

The GTX 1080 Ti looks really good, but I'll hold off until Vega 10 is released and benchmarked.

Or there's the $59 bundle - where you just buy Breath of the Wild for your Wii U instead of spending $500 to play a single game.

Scorpio is expected to have 6 TFLOPs of GPU power, which is about 4x more powerful than the X1 or X1S. So it's perfectly reasonable to expect a $599 price tag for quadruple performance gains. Scorpio is really designed to address the growing market share of 4K TVs, so they'll want machine that can render at 4K/60fps with ease, and giving developers a locked-in hardware configuration (as opposed to PCs) using the x86 instruction set will allow them to do just that.

Scorpio is also signalling the end of the traditional console paradigm. The performance gains equate to a whole new generation, but maintaining the same instruction set and compiler tools as the orignal X1, and X1S allows for easier development, added value to the consumer, and a longer product life-cycle.

I wonder how Vega 10 is going measure up against this? Hopefully AMD reveals their specs soon, I'll need one of these flagships (either GTX 1080 TI, or Vega 10) to power my Vive.
