Backwards compatibility is not that strong of a selling point.. so Microsoft is saying that people never move beyond old games? As if people are gonna keep playing those same old backwards compatible games over and over again forever.. at one point even that is gonna stop. Life goes on you know.

Microsoft should really stop making consoles and just focus on UWP/PC gaming and developing games.

They should just let everybody build their own monster PC and charge more for Xbox Live and bring all their games from Xbox360, XboxOne to the PC.

Yes the Scorpio is better, but only if you have invested a lot of time and money in Forza and Halo and your back library on the Xbox 360.. and we all know that not all the Xbox 360 games are automatically backwards compatible with the Xbox One, so why should the Xbox One games be automatically compatible with the Xbox Scorpio?

The rest of the games are also available on the PS4 and PS4 Pro.

So who is gonna buy the same games they have on the PS4/PS4 Pro again on the Xbox Scorpio?

Just for the 4k? Sony can also release 4K games (sometimes native and sometimes checkerboarded)..

You also forget that the Scorpio is already lagging behind by more than 1 year by the time it gets released.. which means it will take at least 3 more years to get on the same level as Sony regarding saleswise by then.

Keep in mind that the current console generation will end in about 2 to 3 years.

You can almost time your clock on it that there will be a PS5 within the next 2 years. Which means people are gonna keep playing their PS Pro untill Sony feels the need to make a PS5.

The Scorpio is a continuation of the same failing Xbox brand we have seen up till now with the backwards compatibility extended to the Xbox One.

Look.. why would people buy the Scorpio (minimum $500) if they can play the backwards compatible games on the cheaper Xbox One-S for $200? Or even on the original Xbox One?

The Xbox Scorpio has a 4k blu ray player.. and the Xbox One-S also has a 4k blu ray player.. so what’s the point in buying a Scorpio?

Do you want to pay $400 extra for a 4k blu ray player?

People will just buy an Xbox One-S at $150-$200 for the same 4k blu ray player that’s in the Xbox Scorpio..

Convince me why i need a Xbox Scorpio.. please.

In reply to Luke Skywalker. Since you do well at thinking, you could reply with your thoughts....because u don't see why you should make a system just to soothe some sore butts appetite to smile after three and half years of being battered against the rocks. Waiting for your thoughts still.

Microsoft said it themselves they’re not expecting Scorpio to sell more than the regular Xbox one S. So I don’t believe they’re looking to slow down ps4 sales, I think they’re more about solidifying their base, their technology and their games. Phil said it’s a marathon so it seems they’re looking far ahead into the future and not just about this cycle. In time they’ll have a solid group of first party studios with great IPs, they’ve been saying it for a while that they’re focused on that.

In reply to Dougdec92. You're not making any sense. Maybe you should think that carefully.

Ohk , they don’t expect it to be a mover, next time I’ll be hearing Phil say it is all about Xbox live numbers…lol, so if it was delegated to the xboxone s to be the platform’s mover, then why the Scorpio at all then?

PlayStation Pro launched in 2016 at £349 with a game and a single controller, now when Scorpio releases ( should be Nov-2017 IMO ) the PS4-Pro might drop it’s price to approx- £299 range, while base and slim PS4’s dropping to approx £169-£179 or lower ( PS4 consoles already at £199:99 )

Now Scorpio’s price might be approx- £425-£499, and if that’s the case I see PS4-Pro selling more hardware due to costing less while having more game choice this gen.

I still believe that Scorpio will not outsell the Xbone base models, and I don’t believe that it will slow down PS4 sales like some people like to think. Yes Scorpio is more powerful than PS4-Pro, but as we have seen in the past…Power doesn’t always = success.
