Xbox Scorpio Will Be World’s Only True 4K Console - Microsoft

4.5
Microsoft really is pushing 4K gaming as the angle for the Scorpio- once again, Microsoft has taken the opportunity to associate the new upcoming console with higher resolution gaming. The system has now appeared on the Xbox Store, and its store description anoints it the most powerful home console ever made.

‘The first and only console to enable true 4K gaming and high fidelity virtual reality,’ is another point listed in the console’s favor on the web page. It seems that Microsoft is yet again pushing for what is likely to be a major marketing angle for the Scorpio this Holiday season- that it is the most powerful console ever made, and the only system actually capable of true 4K resolutions (unlike the PS4 Pro, which uses a lot of tricks to achieve upscaled 4K for most games).

While having and marketing a powerful console will undoubtedly help, I just hope Microsoft will have some games to showcase its power too- because otherwise, the hardware is just an empty shell. Thankfully, it sounds like Microsoft is looking into having some good games to showcase all that the Scorpio can do upon its launch later this year.

I know this console is going to break my wallet, that's why I have been saving since I heard about the project.

iown3dyew Highly doubt the Scorpio will be able to play 4k resolution at 60 fps unless they're going to make people really pay for a nice GPU. Doubt it tho


Phil has already stated that anyone looking to get a Scorpio WILL be paying a good price(A lot) and that this is not meant to be a cheap console. If you're buying a 4K console, you need a 4K TV too(Unless you want to play at 1080P Which would be stupid IMO). And those themselves aren't cheap.

I feel this is the only Console that will actually be worth something, without second hand/secondgeneration parts they have thrown in.


Im with you on that one. This is going to be a "Premium console".

They've already said it'll be a premium product so customers should expect a premium price.
