The "Xbox One-Two" will be more than four times as powerful (!) as the Xbox One

The other console, codenamed Scorpio, is unlikely to be released until late 2017, according to Polygon's sources. It will likely be announced in the next month, though plans are somewhat in flux. Like the all-but-confirmed PS4 "Neo," Scorpio represents an evolution of console generations, one that straddles the line somewhat between an entirely new installment of the Xbox platform and a continuation of the existing Xbox One.

Power is a primary concern for Microsoft with Scorpio. The PS4 has remained a constant leader over the Xbox One in this respect, with games on the platform usually running at higher resolution and a higher framerate on the PS4 than their Xbox One counterparts. Microsoft is determined to end this narrative.

The Xbox One is believed to operate a peak target of 1.32 teraflops, compared to the 1.84 teraflop performance numbers attributed to the PS4. Meanwhile, per documents secured by Giant Bomb's Austin Walker — and corroborated by our sources — the PlayStation 4 "Neo," at approximately 2.25 times more powerful than the PS4, is likely to have a peak performance number of 4.14 teraflops.

The current performance target for Microsoft's Scorpio is approximately 6 teraflops.

Originally, Microsoft had no plans to announce Scorpio in 2016, preferring to wait until next year, possibly at their own event prior to E3. This would be in keeping with the company's existing precedent for new hardware launches. This was timed to combat expected plans by Sony to announce and launch the Neo in 2017. However, after GDC, evidence industry-wide has indicated that Sony's timetable for the Neo either has accelerated or was always intended for this Fall. Because of this and other factors, Microsoft is feeling pressure to announce both its new, smaller Xbox One console and the upgraded Scorpio — colloquially referred to internally as Xbox One-Two — at this year's E3, or a last-minute event just prior to the LA convention.

Probably already being discussed in the XBone thread but new info from Polygon about them announcing both new consoles at E3 because of the PS4K/Neo.

Pretty good.
Main difference to the Vive is that it doesn't have room scale VR.

You will take Zelda and like it.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

They do have Pokemon Sun and Moon and some other 3DS games but it's still a weak showing compared to everyone else by far.

There's a chance the upgraded PlayStation and XBone could be announced before the NX

This is the E3 thread?


How dare you not have this merged with the neutral gaming thread!?

I am low key stoked to see this years games. I need something to convince me to finally get a PS4 or Xbox 1.

It will be Kingdom Hearts 3 if and when it drops. But that won't be for a while so excited to see if anything else will pull me in (prays for last guardian or a No Man's Sky update)

 

[sonoftony]

I read that FIFA 17 will be the first EA sports game to use the Frostbite engine. I hope it's true.
