Microsoft's industrial design team has ensured that new Xbox, dubbed "Project Scorpio," will feature an internal power supply unit (PSU), just like the Xbox One S.

In Microsoft's efforts to make Project Scorpio a true 4K system, it will also feature HEVC and VP9 codecs for decoding 4K streams for things such Netflix, just like the Xbox One S. It will also leverage HEVC for encoding 2160p, 60 frame-per-second (FPS) video for Game DVR and streaming.

Microsoft's Beam streaming service has been running public 4K stream tests for some time, and it's now fair to assume it will not only be PC streamers who will benefit. Project Scorpio's Game DVR will allow you to stream and record clips in 4K resolution with 60FPS, according to our sources, which is a massive, massive step up from the 720p, 30FPS you get on the current Xbox One.

For serious content creators, Project Scorpio could become a critical 4K video game capture solution for making clips for YouTube videos, shunning the need to pick up oft-expensive external capture cards. Today's 4K video game capture cards are not only quite rare but tend to be even more expensive than 1080p solutions.

With every bit of information we receive about Project Scorpio, the theme of native 4K keeps appearing — not only for games, but also console features. We now believe Scorpio will sport 4K Game DVR, 4K Blu-ray playback, and 4K streaming apps, but the real showstopper will be the 4K games Microsoft will likely flaunt at E3 2017.

Game DVR capture built in.... and 4k Blu-ray drive.
12 Gigs of ram, and a much more beefy APU.

Theres no way this ends up at 399$.

Its gonna be more expensive than that.

I think PS4pro gets a price cut right before Scorpio Launch.

Probably be 100$ or more in differnce between them, when it launches.

Also glad no Power Brick.

4K Streaming is nice.

It's a shame people who bought an Xbox One at launch have to buy a whole new console for an internal power supply and HDR.

"Only console with true 4K"

Microsoft's marketing team is reaching and lying again it seems.

Not a feature i care too much about, but it seems MS is designing and packing the kitchen sink into Scorpio.

Should be an impressive piece of hardware for a console.

Great news this is really looking to be by far the best way to play third party games on a console and for streaming purpases, the unified windows platform is also adding some great apps and the Xbox One S is already the best media center on the market.

Add game pass and some of the best exclusive-multiplayer games available and this is going to be a console many of us will love, especially the people on this forum and stuff who also loved the ps4 pro there will be plenty of people interested in this :)

Im really glad we can finally get some proper 4k textures and stuff with the increased memory and bandwith :D and the external brick was something people hated and the xbox one S is one of the best looking consoles and also has it build in !!

cant wait to see what the console looks like, my hype is real as a pc gamer who will be really happy to cross play many games :) I hope my ps4 will fit nicely on top of the console or under it ^^ I am a professional console stacker right now my Wii-U is on top of my ps4 :D

I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume that "serious content creators" would choose a single console over a PC solution that works with everything and gives them a lot more options.

Get ready to dish out $500 for this thing.

The only thing I care about what the CPU jump is going to be. From that we will know whether its built for the future is gonna die with the Xbox One and PS4.

CPU isn't much of a bottleneck at higher resolutions, i'm sure it will have IPC and clock improvements by the very nature of it being 2017...what is in question is if the 8 core will have 16 threads like the Ryzen chips...or if it will be the 1 thread per core core configuration .

The console will have memory + bandwidth galore for 4K textures + render-based anti-aliasing.
