I actually think I got confirmed.Has the Forza demo been confirmed? I've only seen it rumoured so far.
The CPU might not be as important, as most of the load would be on the GPU at higher resolutions. But I am a bit surprised (and disappointed, but I'll reserve my judgement until I see more testing) that they didn't go for a more powerful CPU.I imagine for most games that run sub-native 4K on the Pro the Scorpio will probably be native 4K and with slightly higher settings. Everyone seemed to want a CPU that makes most games run at 60fps but they don't seem to have went for that.
Agree I'm disappointed with the CPU, but I think what P*ssed me of the most is still no price point. Judging by the specs I wreckon it will cost more then the Xbox Ones original $500 price.The CPU might not be as important, as most of the load would be on the GPU at higher resolutions.

It's cool tech but I'll stick with my PC and PS4 Pro, that's were the games are at.
I agree the PS has better exclusive titles like Horizon Zero Dawn, the Uncharted series and Last Of Us. Especially now that the XBox One exclusives seem to be available for Win 10 as well I can fully understand your perspective.
However having both an XBox and a PS4 Pro I much more prefer the XBox menu than the one from the PS4. Same goes for the controllers, I prefer the XBox One over the PS4 one.

I'll venture a Guess at US $499.99

But, they could go the Direction of Printer MFG's.Oh boy, if you are right then in Australia it'll cost ~ $680-700 AUD. I might give it a pass then.
If it really can game at native 4K, $700 is pretty cheap for the hardware. It'll probably end up costing upwards of $1000 in Aus, but even that would be "cheap" for 4K gaming.Oh boy, if you are right then in Australia it'll cost ~ $680-700 AUD. I might give it a pass then.
Something tells me this console is going to be worth a lot for Canada, like around $599 at best or possibly more. If only I could build a powerful PC if I had the money, though I plan to in the future since my bro knows which parts to buy.
Dang. I'm not so much of a wize when it comes to this kind of stuff but judging by your post, that doesn't sound too bad at all for a console that consists of all of what you mentioned only to be priced up that much (if so). Looks like ambition and confidence is on MS's side this time around?Well look at it this way... The console (GPU wise) is said to be in performance parody (not specs but in "real world performance") to a Nvidia GTX1070. The GTX1070 in Canada is $599 just for the GPU. If the Scorpio can be priced at that same level (in Canada) then that is an AMAZING achievement if you ask me. You are getting an entire system (CPU, GPU, RAM, Motherboard, 1TB HDD, 4K BluRay Drive, Power Supply and Case) for the same price as just the GPU... I also realize that the GPU in the Scorpio is more in line with the RX480 spec wise... But like I said earlier, it is performing more like the GTX1070 in real world scenarios. Just look at the example of Forza Motorsport 6 running at 4K with Ultra settings only using 55% to 75% GPU utilization! That is actually better then what the GTX1070 offers on PC (when running Forza Motorsport Apex at the same settings)! It's quite exciting to be honest...
