Lol why, no how? With what games? And who says this is a xbox one upgrade? I remember phil saying it wouldn't be an upgrade but a new gen. The rumored 6tf backs that up. ..so if you think people gunna buy a 5-600$ machine again in such a short time you are crazy. Ms hasn't brought games to the table....bring games new games start a new chapter if they gunna take this power and use it on the same games that have been in decline since the 360 then they will have just wasted their money. I dont see people trading in a ps4 to get a scorpio. ..why when they can trade to get a neo and keep all the games they have already.
Not gunna happen. Xbox has a broken name and it just keeps getting worse with more dissapointing games being released.....Qb problem wasn't the power or graphics nor was it halos or forzas...it was the fact that they are deflated and beaten something like AC

Actually it's easier now then ever before to jump into pc gaming . You certainly don't need to be savvy or an enthusiast , most generic store bought pc's have enough ram and a good enough cpu to run most mid to high end gpu's. You just need to maks sure that your psu (power supply unit ) has enough wattage to run your gpu and system.

And anything you want or need to know about is on youtube, build your own rig, step by step instructions on youtube . It's never been so easy.

catch up to the ps4? no. there are no signs developers would suddenly alienate the ps4 in favor of the scorpio and that is what it would take, less support for the ps4. not gonna happen.

from my understanding this sounds like a new xbox which would kickstart the next generation with the nx. so it would be hard to use each as a competitor to one another anyway.

microsoft needs to invest into creating more in house studios to compete with sony. they also need to create worldwide brand recognition, something the xbox was never been able to do. how they do that is to be like apple, a cool new product consumers where even in asia they must have it. not sure how that would be possible now to rebrand the xbox.

let sony make their mistakes and pounce on that, they've done it before so its possible it can happen again.

That's not what he said, good try though . He's said it wont surpass the ps4 and he's right. Just look at how long it took the ps3 to catch the 360 . Ps4 has 20 million lead 3 years in to the gen, it's not going to happen . Maybe next gen though ... right ?

This article isn't about the xbox one though its about the scorpio unless you missed it , so there's some people who can't read despite it saying what the article is about

PlayStation brand was damaged as well. But they bounced back eventually. Xbox can do the same. Although It won't catch up in sales. They can at least take back the US.

It's past midnight, and she's turned into a pumpkin, and when you're a pumpkin, you can't think properly. Xbox is about to make a comeback, and certain people are scared that their little electronic devices are about to become yesterday's news.

@silly-rella

The only thing silly here is your rant about things that seem impossible to you.

Regardless of games going to PC there will always be a market for console. I'm a PC gamer and understand this. Not everyone wants or needs the complexity behind a computer.
Second, people want power in their console, and it's clearly evident by the sales from the PS4. This generational jump in power will also likely cause gamers to wait until or jump ship when Scorpio arrives.

It's inevitable.

Plus you are spreading false information. The 360 outsold the PS3 for the majority of its lifespan. The PS3 caught up eventually. But some how Xbox surpassing Playstation in sales is now foreign to you. One thing is for certain, history likes to repeat itself.

In America it has a chance but worldwide it's very unlikely. People always compare last gen but they purposely forget that ps3 was put a year later and they were all kind of bad press and the repetitive talk of " it has no games", yet, the ps3 was outselling the 360 worldwide.

Anyone that travels would understand what I mean, the playstation brand is very powerful worldwide and I'd like to point out that it's not only Asia that ignores xbox. In mainland Europe it's also a very niche product and last gen, that year start helped but once playstation was out, it was business as usual in those parts of the world.

Most important thing that gamers ignore is culture. Mainland Europe do appreciate more Japanese games including those anime games. Alot of countries in Europe grew up with anime and just like some are excited with cuphead art style, others like the Japanese art style.

Xbox has to get the attention of gamers worldwide to be the leading console but judging by some of their fans who completely discard those as games, they have a real fight in their hands.

Outsold it after a extremely long cycle and took about six years to do it. Oh, don't forget at the start of the ps3 Sony was bragging how they were going to crush the xbox360. Never happened but I'm sure to delusional extremist like yourself changing history for a post is a pretty common practice. Some people are always trying to ice skate uphill. pathetic.

It'll definitely sell by the bucket load

I'm ready to preorder one myself

"microsoft needs to invest into creating more in house studios to compete with sony."

Totally agreed...I'm not sure why but it seems a lot of the MS fans don't care for the idea of first party studios. They seem to have no problem w/ third party devs creating first party games for MS & I just can't wrap my head around that. Brands & Boxes need identities, and they get that from their exclusive stable among other things. It's great to own IP but if you don't own the studio that created it, you have no real chance for consistency. If say a Capcom develops a blockbuster amazing new IP for MS that everyone flips out over, suddenly when it comes time to create a sequel, Capcom has a huge bargaining chip, maybe it'll cost MS twice as much to secure a sequel from the original devs, which eats into the game's actual budget. The other alternative is handing that IP over to another dev entirely, and there lies a potential for ruin. First Parties eliminate any doubt that stems from third party partnerships.

Even beyond all of that, it adds more standards of quality. Moving forward we are seeing fewer people become invested in franchises & more gamers invested in the developers behind their favorite games. Honestly Sony having Naughty Dog makes me a PS buyer from here on out, because I know I can expect quality from that studio in whatever form it may take from game to game. I love the games like TLOU & Uncharted themselves, but it is the comfort of knowing that studio is there that trumps any single game. MS has Rare stepping up to fill that gap a bit it seems, but they just need a couple more for gamers to hang their hat on. I honestly think they need to give up this idea of only keeping as many first parties as they have marquee titles, because even the staunchest Halo or Gears fan would have to be curious as to what 343 & The Coalition could do if they weren't solely geared towards these franchises.

End of the day, MS will only ever be as successful as their software. Third party partnerships are a reality of the current gaming landscape, but they shouldn't be making up the lion's share of games we are seeing on any of these boxes. First Parties just tend to put out higher quality exclusives by & large compared to their third party exclusive counterparts. If MS really wants to sell gamers on the future of the service, they need to look toward the future of gaming habits. Whereas gamers used to be obsessed with the "singles", now that we are more informed, we are looking into the full albums & following the bands entire output. That's the future of gaming habits IMO, and first parties are absolutely crucial to that.
