"Cause new tech has never been announced, bought up, then resold on Ebay at a marked up price."

Yes, true to a certain extend but it only happens to highly sought after tech though. So if that is the case, great job Phil and Team.

For example, people buy newly release iPhones all the time to sell it at higher price because it is highly desire. But I don't ever recall people doing that to a phone like a Sony Experi...

So almost all those accidental BC leaked a few months ago came to fruition..except for one, Red Dead Redemption. No doubt that will be next.

I imagine when the $299 is released, the xbox One will sell even more. Don't underestimate price and the facts that there are more people playing on console than those that have a PC rig to play them. That is and will continue to be the case now and in th...

@overload, dude, you are trying too hard. Those other links were also using the fake box art that was spread.

Here is the official box art from MS themselves. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/g...

"Wow. They should have just announced it as a timed exclusive."

Sony is doing the same with "debuting first on" pertaining to games like No Man's Sky and FF7 remake. So I don't get what the issue here is.

Xbox One Slim, The first console ever to hase a UHD 4K blu ray player included, is the #1 seller at Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bes...

And all those games can be played on it. Well done Phil and team to allow your games to reach a large demographic of gamers.

@SpeakTruthAlways,

Those are being replaced with 2 games that was announced at E3 and is going to be released this year in Forza Horizon 3 and Dead Rising 4. So in essence, the 2nd half is already jam packed with Recore and FH3 in Sep, the best console exclusive Fall holiday game, Gears 4, this Oct, follow by Dead Rising 4 on Dec 6th.

Didn't you guys always say MS have no games in the first half of the year and only Holiday is important and should sp...

Looks like the cannibalizing is not happening as the $399 XB1 Slim is the best selling overall console on Amazon and #10 overall in videogame sales. http://www.amazon.com/best-...

Welcome to the club. My history also show Im excited for both as well.

The thing is MS have a different strategy than Sony when it comes to announcing games.

Last E3: Sony announced Shenmue 3, FF7 remake, and Horizon. It literally had no game announced that is releasing the very same year.

In contrast, MS announced Forza 6, Gears Ultimate, Rare Replay..all were released last year with KI season 3 released earlier this year and Recore is a September release.

This E3: FF7 nowhere to be found. SHENMUE M.I.A, a...

Yup. The cheapest UHD Blu Ray player right now is around $400.

-Not only does the Slim include a UHD 4k Blu Ray drive, it does so at starting at $299.

-in a sleek and sexy Robot matte white that many already said is the best looking and sexiest console ever made.

-play the same great XB1 library with BC X360 titles, play this year's greatest blockbusters like Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, DR4, improve performance of certain games, upsc...

Increasing memory is like adding extra chocolate chips to a delicious cookie. Can be easily done.

To change a new GPU is like trying to change to a different flower afther the cookie has already been baked.

In other word, Sony would need to scrap the entire silicon and GPU of the Neo project that many sites said it has already been finalized. Not the same as adding extra Ram.

MS and Phil succeeded in attacking Sony with not just the Scorpio spec but also flanked them with the Slim as well. Sony's is now up against the wall. Release PlayStation Neo this year and get left behind next year with the more powerful Scorpio, or scrap the entire project and start from scratch (and in the process wasting the millions and millions already spent on development of the current 4tflop Neo) to delay it and let Xbox One S be THE 4K Blu Ray player this Xmas. Well played Phil ...

My second most wanted game at E3. Can't wait for more gameplay in the future.

That is the plan. To attract PS4 only owners to buy xbox one games they otherwise wouldn't bother with anyways. Since games now is "buy once, play anywhere", these PS4 gamers with a PC Rig capable of playing Ms digital Windows 10 games are essentially buying XB1 games and contributing to MS overall masterplan. Essentially Xbox install base has just increased overnight with the 'play anywhere' announcement. In the near future when more PC, laptops, and Surfaces become mor...

You got me...check out my latest photoshop skills with my imaginary PS4 and all the games I'd said I got and loved previously in my older posts. Rookie busted by the photoshop police.

"Rookie, you are wrong...Spencer already confirmed yesterday that not everything will be backward & forward compatible. He specifically said he'd leave it "up to the devs" if they wanted to create a Scorpio exclusive, unplayable on the XBO. "

Wow, I love how you just made up a fake Phil Spencer quote. ROTFL

If you are going to quote something, at least provide a link to back it up. I can be a great example ...

Well said indeed. Scorpio will be a Monster (no pun intended). By letting the plans known now, the fanbase can rest at ease that their investments in current games, accessories, and future games won't be left behind as everything now and in the future will be Compatible and scalable.

If you want an affordable and a attractive game system that also happens to include a 4k Blu ray drive, you can do so confidently as all your games from Gears 4, Forza Horizon 3, and all your c...

@sd11,

Well said. This holiday, MS is going to be more attractive as it will have the best exclusive console Fall titles available in Gears 4, a premier acclaimed racer in Forza Horizon 3 and Dead Rising 4 along with the new Slim model that include a 4k Blu a ray player and is $50 cheaper than the standard PS4 with just the Last Gaurdian, which is really a niche title.

Xbox will do very well and will attract many buyers in the second 1/2 of this year. I...
