Theoretical 6 teraflops. When something is supposedly 18 months away and they don't even show it then it's called a concept. Funny how much microsoft is bragging about power on a system that's basically releasing in 2018, or 1 month from 2018.

So Microsoft is bragging about power but for the next 18 months they will STILL have the weaker console, especially considering that Neo will release long before Scorpio.

So power is so important to Microsoft now, but only in 18 months...until then power is unimportant? Hmmm? So xbox fans are all about specs except when it comes to the actual console they are CURRENTLY playing. I love how Microsoft sells ppl on pipe dreams "down the road". Secret sauce, cloud, esram.

Both PlayStation and xbox will be backwards compatible from here on out bc of the x86 architecture. Neo will play PS4 games and PS5 will play PS4 and Neo games ect. Welcome to the glory of pc architecture.

Ppl fail to realize while Microsoft looks at Scorpio as their next gen console Sony looks at Neo as their PS4 slim. Neo will launch long before Scorpio and soon after Scorpio launches Sony will release PS5 which will obviously blow Scorpio out of the water. So, theoretically Microsoft will have the most powerful console...for about a year. By the time exclusive Scorpio games even come out PS5 will be launching with a full launch lineup. Tell me i'm wrong.

Yep,being as standard Xbox One units aren't strong enough to support PC VR headsets.

The thing is neither consoles are strong enough.

Who's to say it might not get more powerful? I doubt it would change but what they announced could be minimum performance specs.

Why not

And why is that?

If they let Sony announce the specs for Neo first, the conversation would've been, "How can Scorpio beat that", or "MS waited and announced something better as a reaction to Neo".

This way the conversation puts MS in the drivers seat. Essentially, daring Sony to do better. MS even boldly stated that it would be the most powerful console when released.

This way MS is showing confidence in the product they are delivering.

If they waited until after Neo to do this it shows weakness.

And by their statements on VR they are daring Sony to do better with Sony VR as well. Essentially calling it out and calling it inadequate to what gamers really want.

I like that MS held off on VR because I really don't think current consoles are truly able to deliver a top notch VR experience yet. And I like that they are delivering a console that will be truly capable of 4k and VR. But at the same time I think we are early in VR. First the price has to drop to $199 for a high end headset and secondly it has to be about the 3rd or 4th generation before I will pick it up. I truly believe in the immersion of VR, but I think this year's VR offerings will be a disappointment in comparison to 3-5 years from now.
