Microsoft teases Xbox Scarlet for E3 presser

Lol, what? Xbox One X will be the base cheaper version of next generation. While the Xbox One S and Digital being left out.
The One X currently sells for $499. You expect them to cut the price by $200+ dollars by next holiday?
They'll want to have a ~$199 console on the market. The One S still fits that role.
That's where Lockhart comes in. That's going to be the mass market console, not Anaconda.
The S version and Digital version are older hardware. It would be impossible for devs to Port games to those hardware in the long run. While the X version could run it on medium setting. Gotta think and yes they could price the X version for $300. While the next generation of systems could cost around $400 to $500 to $600.
They just cut the price to $399 on the Xbox One X, I don't see this happening in 2019.
Want to get really wild? A new Xbox this year and Halo Infinite launches with it.
I'm Canadian, I expect it to be at least that.
Every new gen there are cross-gen games. Sony supports its hardware for like 10 years. I trhink the old way of doing things where you have to upgrade is slowly evaporating. Even the Switch had its biggest game on two different systems. Eventually yes, the old hardware needs to be phased out but it will still get support for at least a few years post launch of the new system.

If they announce a new Rallisport Challenge game I will flip my shit (and preorder ASAP). I loooved those games on the Xbox.
MS isn't really going to care as much about console sales next gen though. They just care about XBL and Game Pass subscriptions, and if they can bring Game Pass to more and more devices then they really won't mind if their expensive enthusiast console isn't selling as well as Playstation.
Don't they have low-end and high-end models? They can release a cheap console and an expensive console.
Microsoft will probably care more about gamepass and xcloud subscriptions than console sales anyway.
We're already seeing hints of a price drop at some point, the One X is $399 right now for the E3 sale. I don't think it would be too far of a guess to see that same sale come Black Friday. If they're launching a new console next year, I could absolutely see the price being $299 at the very least by holiday 2020. The One S launched in the middle of 2016, I don't think it makes too much sense to keep a 4+ year old machine as one of their SKUs.
The One S is starting to struggle on current software, much less "next-gen" games that will probably be developed with 4K in mind.
You will hear nothing of that. To go from talking about one big family where you can play games anywhere to announcing exclusives for only a certain console or 2 would be ridiculous. That would be later.
Let's play a game of people complaining about the prices.
If Xbox prices the system higher than the PS5 is going to be. The news media and the gaming community would use that as an advantage to bring down the next powerful Xbox. Here's the narrative I see happening.
- Why would I pay premium pricing when I can get PS5 and still get those games.
I really doubt you'll be seeing exclusive games for either console for a couple years. I feel like both MS and Sony are going to want to keep things cross gen for as long as possible.
I have to agree. They seem to have software more in mind this time around. Selling subs seems like more inline with thier vision and whats been working well so far for them.
What I find hard to understand is if MS release Lockhart (lower end) and then Scarlett (higher end) are they not crippling the performance difference between both consoles? Surely they'll have to water it down for Lockhart and won't be able to use the full potential for scarlett?? Doesn't quite make sense...?
Sony will have PS5 only games and cross gen titles. Microsoft I'm not sure if they will have next gen Xbox only games right away. I would like them to support VR however with full Oculus and Vive support too.
There are ways to easily fix it, like you do on PC.
Lockhart could be 1080p 60
Scarlett could be 4k 60
That could be an easily way to do it without needing to cripple Scarlett.
Cant really say i'm enthused regardless of the power in the box, but bring it on, let's see what you have MS
I'm sure that there will be full backwards compatibility with Xbox One, but I would be surprised by a spring 2020 release.

I'm going to copy/paste what I said in another thread haha —
I honestly thought it was pretty obvious this past year or so that Xbox games during the early 2020s will more than likely be on both the Xbox One family and Xbox Scarlett family with scaling between all. Microsoft's current compatibility strategy (on top of the fact that Halo Infinite still hasn't been shown yet) would pretty much fit with this.
The upcoming consoles having compatibility with the previous gen will make cross gen titles during the early life of the new consoles a no brainer. You're literally missing out on money and users for the sake of pretty pointless exclusivity — especially in this era of crossplay.
I'm sure that the majority of Next Xbox and PS5 games during the first two years of both systems lives will be third party. I'm also positive that Sony will still sell slim PS4s and that Microsoft will still sell Xbox One S models. Both will be cheap by that point. The Next Xbox and the PS5 will be backwards compatible too obviously. Therefore, the early libraries of the PS5 & Next Xbox will more than likely be bogged down a bit from 2013 model/spec PS4 & Xbox One support. I don't think this will hurt the sales of the PS5 and Next Xbox in any major way though. "Next gen hype" should still be large. For example, the visual improvement of multiplats like NBA 2K, FIFA, and Destiny alongside their great marketing helped the launches of PS4 & Xbox One far more than their early true exclusive games.
I never see the PC gamers that I know that play at ultra settings complain about PC gamers that play at far lower settings and how it "holds them back". I think things will honestly be fine. You'll get some complainers due to them being used to previous typical game console transitions, but I think they'll be a very small group.
Plain and simple:
If Scarlet and PS5 games will all work on the Xbox One X and PS4, I'm not upgrading.
I'm sick of buying new consoles. Just give me the same games at 1080p on my current hardware and I'm happy.
Put me on the DO NOT CARE ABOUT 4K list.

Me too, honestly I just don't want to wait a year and and a half in the case that these look good.
With this so close I feel like a moron for buying an Xbox One X. Hopefully GameStop will offer a decent trade-in towards the new system for it.
World wide sales ensure it will blow past Xbox if they launch close to each other. Atleast a million at launch in Europe and a couple hundred thousand in Japan and who knows about world wore. And it's not even taking into how ps will go into next gen stronger then it did last gen.
Good luck getting those games to run on those jaguar cores lol
Agree'd but i could totally see Lockhart coming this year and Anaconda launching around PS5.
Again i don't think it will happen but i wouldn't be shocked at all
You assume they won't be backward-scalable?
All the talk lately has been about iterative upgrades, not Next-Gen machines.
No. Dude the CPU jump alone is huge, what were you smoking when you typed that?
If they show some of next-gen... it stands to reason we could see next-gen games... perhaps like the Harry Potter game from WB since none of the DC studios are showing up.
Ok, off topic. But this pic makes me want to pick up scarlett in mk11. I love short hair and haven't seen this set up
OT. I've always expected next gen xbox news this E3. So I'm not surprised. I'll be fresh and ready for MS conference in the morning
Maybe that's where xCloud will come in and you can just use your old Xbox to stream new games without having to upgrade until you feel like?
I mean Apple can charge $999 for a monitor stand lol
I reckon $499
