Listed for release Holiday 2017,well thats 18 months away as Holiday American style means November......They named it Project Scorpio ?

They claim it will be the most powerful console ever built........Sony your turn ?

What it says to me is that I now don't see Sony releasing a Neo this year and if the specs of the new Xbox One are to be believed then Sony has to reconfigure the Neo and release exactly the same time or just before or just after.

Since both companies seem hell bent on giving us a new console after 3 years then i say to hell with the upgrades just release a friggin new console and give us as much Grunt as possible in the first place.

In reply to a post by time2die:

They a little bit concerned so rumour has it that Xbox One new better system is a higher spec than there Neo and i think its Sony wanting to see there hand and whats on offer then if it is on show and its a lot more Kick Ass then back to the drawing board for Sony.

Probably a good strategy after seeing some of the details of project scorpio.

I think the Scorpio will essentially be a new console even if it still keeps 'Xbox One' in the name. Supposed to be capable of 4k gaming and 60hz output good to hear the current games will be compatible with itand I like the cross platform stuff MS are doing.

Hmmm. I dunno mate.

If the Neo rumours were true, they'd be well on their way toward production by now, maybe irreversibly so. And a console with 970 compute and all that console optimisation can achieve, I think it would still fly off the shelves like hot cakes.

Unless the Scorpio is beefed up enough to do 4k proper, it wouldn't offer that much above and beyond the Neo spec. Ultra 1080, is Ultra 1080 at the end of the day.

Did they mention 4K gaming? That would give it a very obvious advantage. It would likely still be as big as the current Xbone though. It will be interesting to see the Neo dimensions too. Mine already sounds like a Harrier jump jet when working hard on UC4. Louder than my 390x and peeps claim they are noisy!

More importantly, have they mentioned that new controller yet? I'm hoping they've made the thumbsticks symmetrical.

Ahh, that answers my question then!

Mate if you catch up on the Microsoft press conference ,search YouTube it has some amazing specifications and yes 4K gaming was the main topic in question , I can not remember the specs but they seem extremely impressive ,and your right about Sony been well into development with the Neo and it may be a little late to change.

But then again they may have to scrap it altogether given the route Microsoft are going with there new machine as there is much to like ,what's good is that they want a hell of a lot of cross play,,buy it on PC and play on your Xbox One for free and Vice versa ,but to me they are turning the Xbox one into a glorified PC in disguise with there Windows 10 Drabble ,what they did show first was there Xbox Slim which is only going to appeal to those that haven't bought a Xbox one ,given the poor sales figures of the Xbox one already they then announced Project Scorpio that literally killed of any interest in the Xbox Slim mentioned 10 minutes earlier,,what is good about the Xbox slim which may help it achieve minimal sales is the new redesigned controller and the fact it ships with a 2Terabyte hard drive which to me should be standard in this digital age we live in,and as much as I like new tech not even I would buy a slim,I have a 500 gig Xbox One now and it's getting less use than my Nintendo Wii U which Jorkila nicked earlier in the year ...

Would be no good to me until I get a 4K telly though.

You should get PC versions of PS4 games (obviously not the exclusives) when you buy the ps4 copy. Why should you have to pay for the same content twice?

You seen this redesigned controller yet?

We talking about Microsoft not Sony ,Sony don't put there games on PC matey ....

Agreed.....wish you would be more pro/active on there's boards Trance ,I'm thinking shortly you will do you disappearing trick for a few months and the reappear like a Rabbit out of a magicians hat,bit like Ajax.
