I still dont think you ll scorpio for anything less than 499$ - 599$.
People saying oh it wont be more expensive than 399$ are in denial.

If MS is aiming for a 6-8 teraflop chip, and have a cpu to match, along with enough memory bandwidth / size to support that chip, it wont be doable for less than 499$. Not unless MS is willing to sell each unit at 100$ of loss, which I dont see happending.

This isnt just "oh well give it a chip same size as the PS4 and just overclock it to double its performance", which is non sense anyways, when was the last time a GPU/CPU could oc anywhere close to 100%? MS is going to need a more expensive chip/memory/cooling/case/power supply/ ect than Sony if its aiming for a console at that power range.

Mark my words, scorpio launches at more than 499$.

They would be shooting themselves in the foot a bit if they did. I don't think itl be over $499, let's not forget if any company can afford to take losses on hardware to obtain some marketshare... its MS with their reserves.
