Report: Project Scorpio Might Actually Be Named Xbox Scorpio
Coming from a Best Buy newsletter is the image above, which hints to the possibility that the console might get to retain its code name “Scorpio,” and might simply be called “Xbox Scorpio. ”
Given the buzz received by the console since the official announcement last year, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea keep the name, even considering the fact that Xbox executives have played with the scorpion imagery every since. Fans certainly appreciated it, and it’s also quite cool, so what’s not to love?
Of course, the possibility exists for the name to be a placeholder, so we should consider this a rumor and take it with the customary grain of salt.
That said, I personally consider it rather likely, and have gone on record multiple times with my belief that retaining the “Scorpio” in the name was the best choice.
Luckily, we don’t have to wait long, since we already know that the console will be unveiled at the beginning of the press conference. The show will begin at 2 PM PDT or 5 PM EDT.
Earlier today, YouTube Live and E3 Coliseum host Geoff Keighley mentioned that he is “confident” that the console will cost $499.
Project Scorpio has been partly revealed back in April, showing off some very impressive hardware, including 6 teraFLOPS of computing power and 12 gigabytes of RAM.
About a week ago, Microsoft gave a sneak peak on the console’s devkits, which are even more powerful than the retail kit, in order to give development studios some headroom to work with.

Not a bad name, not a good one, I'd say it's right down the middle which is a great choice. Just hope they don't put any scorpion art on it.

I dislike the name but can't think of many other logical names that would work seeing as it's a continuation console.

BJP Not surprised, so much hype about what is usually referred to as the "Scorpio" it would be silly to drop the name.
Exactly. I was kinda expecting this.
