Microsoft may not make a profit on it at $499, and they may even take a slight loss, but they'll make it as powerful as they can, while being able to sell it at $499 or less and still be able to turn Scorpio into a successful platform business. |
^Seriously doubt they keep the scorpio under 500$.
Its gonna launch at over 499$ and be a high end product. People that think thats too expensive, can get a XB1 slim, thats probably how MS see's it.
If Sony aims for 4.2 Teraflops and 399$, and MS is aiming for near 8 teraflops (almost twice as much), it ll be more than 100$ more expensive.
Basically less than 500$ for a scorpio is wishfull thinking / dreaming.
I wouldnt be surprised if it launched at 599$.
