Microsoft Xbox One X Scorpio Price Prediction and Reaction

Some things in life are black and white. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Red, Blue and green I think you mean lol. At least on this Sub forum !

 

I want a premium chassis made of aluminum (but don't want to pay for it). I may be into buying a white console this time around.

 

360 was originally white, you had to buy the Elite to get a black one. Wasn't the XB1 "Maker's Addition" white? while the XB1S was also originally just white as well?

 

The next evolution of design labs will be to customize your console...lol
Seriously, that may not be a bad idea after all.

 

How successful were faceplates?

 

Not really a good comparison. Design Labs would be the whole console. Not just the front. With that said I'm still not sure I see them doing it anyway. You would think the logistics would be a nightmare.

Not really any worse than doing a custom controller I wouldn't think. You can already order consoles through Amazon and the like that is Fed Ex to you. To me this would be similar and I'm sure there would be a premium pricing for it.

If they did it, this would be for that elite collector.

 

They haven´t bring "design lab" yet to Europe. What´s up with Ms?

 

The design and the engineering leads to some speculation on the final price. In fact articles like the one below saying that Scorpio is going to cost 700$ are positive for the console, there is some noise regarding the price, people don't believe it is going to be too affordable because of the specs. Which means that MS is going to benefit from that noise.

Is it April 1st again?

That's some random person's clueless guessing. Also very untrue unless you ignore inflation.

 

I wasn't expecting much from the start, but I decided to take a look anyway since I have a little bit of free time before I have to head out.

I stopped reading after seeing this.

Not only do we now know that it isn't using Zen cores. But they are using pricing for an 8-core 3-3.6+ Ghz retail processor meant for prosumers and businesses as a starting point?

dunno if this is true, but if it is, this guy is totally wrong spoiling such an important part of the conference.

 

was just coming here to resurrect this thread, and to see if anyone was going to change their vote at the last minute?
the spread is so even!

 

Don't think it's an important part but I think Microsoft has lost their damn mind if they intend to sell it at that price. Better include the new Elite controller & Game Pass or equivalent software.

really? Imo the price is one of the most important parts, regardless what it is.
if net reaction is any indication, wait for the fall out after price reveal (and that's regardless what it is!)

 

Acceptable...but at the max limit of acceptable.

From a business standpoint it might not be dumb. They probably looked at PS4 Pro sales and figured it's better to price at premium if it's gonna be low volume. Meanwhile you can get an Xbox One S for $199..which will better at driving volume/install base..

 

There had better be some incredible pack-in value-adds in the bundle if MS thinks Scorpio will be a success at $499.

 

Yeah I didn't write that well. It's certainly very important. I just don't think its a big deal to spoil the price before the conference. The price will definitely set the mood & expectation of the product & everything will hinge on giving it an acceptable value. For $500 it better have a lot of added value because the hardware itself will struggle to carry the load vs the competition.
