$599 seems the most likely, given the hardware, and if it doesn't receive any rumored upgrades. A native 4K machine really is going to be expensive, but I don't foresee it as being a 9th gen console, so for a premium product, that would make sense.

The RX 480 is priced around $200 - $250 and is just shy of 6 teraflops (about 5.8). So frankly Scorpio is not powerful enough to justify $600.

The RX 480 is also fully capable of doing 4K/30-60 fps with current gen graphics. So if the Scorpio has something at par with that, you will have a machine doing native 4K often.

Why not ? RX480 is not a chipset. I have not seen a gpu for years lol but I am sure it is big enough and needs equivalent cpu to feed it so that it is not bottlenecked and obviously a decent power supply as well. Microsoft is clearly going for a big upgrade to push 4K resolution if possible. So that will come at a cost. Although I agree 600$ for a console is expensive unless the new console will play all the Xbone games at high resolution. Because in PS4P dev has to support the Pro mode, the console itself cannot do it. I am sticking with 500$ where dev has to support it just like PS4P
