Specs wise the Xbox 2 would be truly next gen, compared to Scorpio: Polaris GPU, Jaguar CPU, 12GB GDDR5 ram
Xbox 2: VEGA GPU, RYZEN CPU, 16GB GDDR5X/HBM2

To me neither are Next Gen.
HBM will never happen in a console either. Way to expensive.
GV100 is the real "next gen".

That's what they said about GDDR5, being too expensive at the time.
Sure GV100 is the next gen, for supercomputers that is, something that costs in the 4-5 digit numbers. We're talking next gen parts for consoles.

If MS was smart they'd skip the mid-gen update and wait a year and release the XB2. Sure, the PS5 would probably be out the following year and outdo it in specs, but it won't be as much as the PS5 will outdo the Scorpio.
I still think the PS5 would crush them in sales with a XB2, since Sony isn't going to repeat the mistakes of the PS3 anytime soon, but at least MS would have some time advantage to work with. As it is, it seems they are resting all hope on a more powerful mid-gen upgrade that's coming a year too late and is going to be $100 more than the successful Pro once it gets its price cut. Hell, it might be $150 more expensive is it's $449 and Sony goes aggressive in Sept and cuts the price to $299. |
MS would really have a fighting chance with a Xbox 2 announced early 2018 at a Xbox Meeting, with some stunning next gen looking games like Forza Horizon 4 and a linear game pushing graphics to the maximum, like a Ryse 2 or Gears 5. Sure PS5 would be stronger, but these specs would mitigate the performance gap a lot and Sony would have a harder time selling their better graphics, like they had last gen.
MS would have the premier of how next gen gaming will look, you know those moments like the Gears 1 announcement, the Samaritan demo, Watch Dogs 2012 trailer, PS4 Meeting 2013, MS would have a whole year to themselves, having people talk about them.
