Microsoft “Really Serious” About 4K Gaming With Scorpio
Greenberg mentioned that releasing new hardware like the Xbox One S takes a long lead time. You have to make decisions far in advance about components and design. The team thought about when it made sense to bring a new model that would bring benefits and enhancements to the fans.
They knew that they could make it smaller, but they knew that they needed to have more than that. A lot has changed in the TV market since the original launch of the Xbox One, with 4k TVs becoming more mainstream. According to Greenberg the ability to bring a 4K Blu-Ray player and 4K video streaming on top on upscaling games to 4K is a great benefit.
The response has been “great” and some retailers initially sold out. Considering pre-orders, Microsoft things the console will be in high demand and retailer feedback from E3 was “very very strong.” During the Holidays a lot of TVs will be sold, and Microsoft expects a lot of people to also upgrade to the Xbox One S.
Greenberg also talked about Project Scorpio, mentioning that it’s a “really exciting project” and that the team is working really hard on it. There already is a lot of support from development partners and internal studios. According to Greenberg, Microsoft is “really serious” about delivering true 4K gaming, and they think that it’s a “huge opportunity.” While it will require a lot of power, they’re building a “beast.”
With the work on Project Scorpio, Greenberg thinks that “the swagger is back,” and the team is on its front foot, and Microsoft is “leading” and “driving.”
When Greenberg goes to meetings and when the teams talk, he can see that people are really fired up and excited about what Microsoft is doing, including the Play Anywhere initiative and more. There’s still a lot of work to do, so there’s still “a lot of humility” and “a lot of hunger,” but morale has “definitely never been higher.”
Greenberg also mentioned that Microsoft hasn’t gone into details on things like trade up deals for Project Scorpio. At this point they’re focused on getting developer and industry support and on letting the fans know what they’re doing. The focus is on delivering a beast, having great games and a great relationship with partners, and on having a console that can deliver true 4k games and a high-end VR experience.
According to Greenberg Microsoft has a great leadership team and a great hardware team, and they’re working in unison. When that happens, you can do “pretty amazing things.” Over the enxt year they’ll probably figure out “more amazing things to make it even better,” but those will be shared down the line.

They've been saying this for awhile (at least reps have) I spoke to Major Nelson around the launch and he said they were already throwing the idea around in meetings for a after launch plan and with MS's control of the cloud they could do amazing things.

Azairo Idgaf about 4K, I want texture presets better than low and still playable frame rates. Some Anti-aliasing would be great too cause in most games straight lines look like saw blades and it's garbage.
What this guy said.
How can they focus on 4k when the games that come out now are barely 60fps/1080P LMAO
