Forums - Microsoft - Is Microsft about to dominate the console market next year?

No. It will even be worse than now, especially when people will refrain from buying an Xbox One for 18 months before not buying a Scorpio either because it will be too expensive and with still no exclusive games.

I don't think they will dominate but they will sell more XB consoles than they are now so that is a good thing! And if Scorpio is more than $499 and I even think that will be too expensive for a just more powerful XB1 then it will not do well at all.

So it is a toss up right now to be honest. But with all the games coming the XB1 and XBS will do great.

The S just feels so weirdly positioned.

It is slightly better than the original xbox one. Games will play the same, but it can do 4k netflix.

Then comes the scorpio a year later. A very beefy console.

So the S is basically the middle child. The original one is cheaper, and the scorpio is more powerful. Making the S - an oddly niche product.

How much is the original? I thought it was $300? T

Microsft just announced their next console. It is codenamed "Project Scorpio" and will exist within the Xbox family. further more, it will reportedly run in 4K and have VR capabilities as well as support for every Xbox One game and peripheral. While I am excited for it, it is terrifying. Sony and Nintendo are releasing supposed revised versions of their current consoles. Well, at least Sony is, and Nintendo has yet to say anything about the NX. But this new Xbox console seems like it could blow every other console out of the water if it is really as powerful as they say it will be. Sony especially seems like theyre going to be fucked next year if an updated PS4 is all they have. 

But on another note, maybe this will be the kick other devs needed to start pumping the gas a little more on console hardware and visuals. The 8th gen as a whole has been broken promises. Im actually excited to see such a huge step forward all of a sudden

If  Xbox Scorpio does as its rumored, and releases LATE 2017 (nov), then no.

That "year" is already lost.

The question is will it dominate 2018 sales ?

Maybe, depending on how its priced.

They have stated that every game for Scorpio will have to work with the XB1 so i very much doubt it will be leaps ahead. Sony by delaying will I am sure be going back to the drawing board and making a few changes to their NEO console to ensure it is comparable or superior in spec. With Scorpio releasing next xmas, it gives Sony a window of about 3-4 months to finalise the spec and move on.



I get the feeling Sony will just follow suit, they have the advantage, a sales buffer and PS4 still has the momentum. I imagine it makes sense for developers as well if these two systems are close in terms of spec.

I respect MS for coming out and doing it in the way they did, Sony's statement kinda felt a bit rushed and non-committal. MS know that they could lose potential sales by pre-warning people that a better system is coming and actually giving an indicator of how much more powerful, but they're being up front. I doubt it'll shift anything though, we'll see what they can do with price.

No, the will dominate the PC market :P

lol MS has more of a chance of beating Sony then they do Steam.



No, but they will create a hard time for NX in my opinion.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

It kinda depends on 4 things, me thinks.

1. The specs of the ps4.5
2. How big VR will be
3. Which one has the best VR support
4. Price

It looked like Xbox was done for but I have to say that VR could really change things up this gen.
