Forums - Gaming Discussion - Geoff Keighley: Scorpio to cost $499

 

Still getting day1 if true?

yes. 51 13.39%
 
no. 302 79.27%
 
maybe. 28 7.35%
 
Total:381

 

Unless hes pulling a fast one... or MS are changeing it last minute, it seems its going to be 499$.



Around the Network

I think Sega actually made a price drop on the Genesis before last minute to counter Nintendo, so it's not like that hasn't happened before.

Bad thing is, that at the end, Sega lost to Nintendo... :/

Is this higher or lower than expected?



This also means that Neogaf with the random google searchs and that "build a robot for 399$" picture where wrong.

Scorpio 399 confirmed for 100 % now.

People where expecting 449-499$.

But Neogaf googled one of those codes on those scorpip promo pictures, somehow linked it to another old picture of a ad at 399$, and was convinced it was a hidden message that it would be 399$.



That seems like the price most people were expecting, although the whole $399 bandwagon was picking up steam recently, kind of like the unrealistic expectation of a $249 Switch.



If so then it's fucked. Sony can push the PS4Pro to $350 to kill all of Scorpio's buz.

That's going to be a tough sell. For the power you're getting it's not like they're overcharging, but... yeah it'll be a tough sell.
