The name seems to have been leaked via Bestbuy Canada's newsletter: Xbox Scorpio

Smart IMO. The One brand is obviously damaged and people are already familiar with the Scorpio branding, however Microsoft will still have to make sure they properly communicate that all Xbox One games run on it.

going to try and market it as a new gen console even though it isn't

Unless something changes today, that is what will be announced.

Thanks Geoff. That'll be all.

Double post. Not sure how. I've only had that happen when I post from my phone....



Even though I have no interest in the Microsoft games ecosystem, i find 500$ a fair price for a new console that has a decent power. Hopefully it will sell well and signal all console makers that it's ok to go 500$ and up as long as the hardware justifies it.

Having said that, probably a lot of nay sayers will latch on to the 500$ figure and paint it like the worst thing ever.

But hey... we'll know for sure in a couple of hours

Which has resulted in the S selling like it was on it's way out. Smooth

Shit that's like 6000$ CAD, they are probably still selling it at a lost at that price



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

That price seems decent. Not good nor bad. But I'm sure Geoff is just trolling all of us. I'm sure the console will be $399, which is the sweet spot.

Please send me the link.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

MS sure is entertaining in their marketing strategies, leaks, leaks and more leaks. Get the crowd riled up through social media. Scorpio might not be next gen, their marketing tactics sure are.
