Get Project Scorpio Right
Last year’s E3 saw Microsoft announce not one, but two new pieces of hardware. The Xbox One S released in August, coming in 40% slimmer than the original system and boasting HDR and 4K streaming. Then there was Project Scorpio. Microsoft claims the upcoming system will be “the most powerful console ever,” and its six teraflops of power don’t argue against that.
While this is certainly promising for Xbox fans, it’s important to remember that power isn’t everything. Microsoft needs to ensure not only that Project Scorpio releases at the right price point in 2017, but that fans know why they should be spending that money. Clear and concise messaging will be order of the day when Microsoft officially unveils Project Scorpio, as well as some great-looking games, of course. If Microsoft can nail the price point, and provide plenty of stellar native 4K experiences for fans to jump into on day one of the console’s release, the Scorpio will deal a seriously heavy blow to its competition.
