Forums - Microsoft Discussion - MS Hints At Scorpio Being Cheaper Than People Think

Sounds like he's just avoiding answering the question. What's he supposed to answer, that it will be more than $400? If someone ask you "will your product which you are launching in 2017 be more expensive than the similar product your #1 competitor is launching in 2 months?" you're obviously going to try to avoid answering it, it's classic PR.

I don't see it being more than $400.

This is the second time you've said that in the same thread you created.  Looking for a response, now ya got one.



They Hype for XONE Scorpio's Price is like Hype for the NX! XD



Pocky Lover Boy!

Probably $400 then. Sony will probably drop to $350 right before it releases so they'll have a small price advantage but MS will have a pretty big power advantage.

Yup, if I'm MS I'm already working on deals with third parties to push the best multiplats of big games.

"Surprise, it's only $500! We bet you were expecting $600, weren't you?"

Unfortunately, I don't feel it will matter what price they launch at, they'll be launching too late for it to compete with PS4/Pro and too early to be a proper next-gen. The whole thing reeks of Dreamcast.

Dreamcast wasn't backed by MS' $$$. Besides Dreamcast was great. That was a monstrous upgrade over the PS/N64. Sega just ran out of money, which isn't going to happen to Microsoft. 



I want to believe them but honestly I'm done listening to anything MS says. I'll wait until it's out and then we can see. They've just gone back on so much stuff the said this gen they can't be trusted IMO.

Dreamcast ran Windows CE.  So Microsoft had invested in it.

Shrugs, they've been pretty good in the Era Of Phil from what I can see.
