Still running a 1080p TV? Then you should forget about buying Xbox Scorpio.
That’s the message from Xbox boss Phil Spencer. He was asked by Eurogamer about the thinking behind announcing the new Xbox One S only to an hour later reveal a brand new machine, Xbox Scorpio.
“You should buy [the Xbox One S], because Scorpio is not going to do anything for you,” Spencer said after asking the reviewer what TV he had – in this instance a 1080p set. “Scorpio is designed as a 4K console, and if you don't have a 4K TV, the benefit we've designed for, you're not going to see."
“Clearly, you can buy Scorpio, and if and when you decide you want to buy a 4K television to take advantage of the increased performance, obviously the console will be ready for you. For us in the industry, it's easy to think that most power is always the thing that wins. If you look at last gen, what won? The Wii won. The Wii sold more than we did on Xbox 360 and the PS3, and it wasn't the most powerful console out there. Price is critically important. Wii was a good price and it had a great experience.
“Scorpio is for the person who's got a 4K television, who's really focused on 4K gaming. It's going to be a premium price over what we're selling this one for, and both of them will exist in the market at the same time. Scorpio is for your 4K gamer. And that's what we designed it for.”
It was speculated yesterday that while it seems Xbox Scorpio will have a quite significant power advantage over PS4 Neo, that advantage will come at a cost – that literally being the cost, which could be some $100 more than Sony’s new machine.

Ok let me screen shot that....and done
I don't know what he talking about, i don't have 4k, and i get blown away every year, with the ps4 games exclusives and thrird party, he don't even look next years ps4 games like gow of war, death stranding, horizon zero dawn, Detroid, is was all run on curent ps4, on 1080P
It supposed that 4k tv is extra advantage, it suppose the 6 tflops make games to be on next level even if you not have 4k i mean we are not going to spent all suddenly 1.000 and 2.000 $ for 4k tv's
But i know what he means'' hey, developers don't use 100gb UHD Blu ray disc for native 4k, is too early, all games will be run 1080P, and be the same with curent games! maybe some will be upscale so if you have not 4k tv is not for you, but at least you pay 500$? more for 1080P
That why he advertise the all think on promo video, "more pixes wow" even eurogamer troll them, that they know from specs and hardwares
Overall good to know the same goes with Sony ps4 Neo
That wii thought, i don't know why he say that maybe it was tired and has drink a lot, :) the wii that was cheep and less power win, the scorpio that is the most powerfull console so far and probably more expensive what? its going to win, that the opposite!
