After hyping up their announcement via Eurogamer, Microsoft has finally shed light on just what their upcoming console will have under the hood. The picture above details what these specs are, as well as compares them with the PS4 Pro and Xbox One. It'll also be utilizing Microsoft's Direct 3D 12, and if you have a gaming PC, you'll know that DirectX12 usually allows for impressive performance boosts. Featuring 12 GBs of RAM, a 1TB HDD, and a 4K UHD Bluray player (which the PS4 Pro lacks), it seems that this console has blown expectations away. During the event, Forza was shown off, running at a stunning native 4K/60fps. Not only that, but since the Scorpio is backwards compatible, that means that currently existing Xbox One titles, as well as backwards compatible 360 titles will be getting in on the huge performance and visual boost. Eurogamer has a more specific article, linked below, if you want to really dig into what the console does.

Specs like this are overkill, how much would it cost

 

This is odd. It seems too different to be a half cycle revision, but it's under-powered for a fully new console.

 

so to get this right its another new model to play XBX1 games at higher resolution (if supported) or have MS released an entirely new system to make XBX1 (s) redundant so it wont get more games, if so thats pretty shite because i remember consoles moving forward once devs have pushed its limits as much as they could.

and..... yes wonder if third parties supporting this will then support the switch or as usual ignore them and focus on the hardware thats cheaper for them to port across the platforms capable of running its game.

 

Not bad. Hope it wont have the problem that new games will only be made for the scorpio and not for the one.

 

I think inevitably it will become Microsoft's next gen console (or at least treated as such), but for the time being they'll enforce the restriction that all games developed for it must be playable on the original Xbone as well. But as more and more developers create games that need more power, Microsoft will open up the ability for it to have exclusives. Yet, if when the time comes that Sony reveals the PS5 and its drastically more powerful than the Scorpio, then Microsoft may find themselves in a tricky situation, like do they truly treat the Scorpio as the next gen system or do they get another one out to more properly compete with the PS5. I suppose that will all depend on what Sony does.

 

I would like to take it thanks

 

I'm you guy!

 

With no games I want to play it's just another xbone.
Loved my 360, but seriously, this gen, Microsoft can FOAD.

 

I was reading into the specs just a bit ago, they're pretty impressive, especially for a console. But no pricing announcement, which was a little disappointing though. If they can release this with only a slight price different from the PS4 Pro it'd kill the competition.
