Yeh this is true, but with Scorpio potentially partnering up with Oculus VR, that would be perfect. Especially for the PC player that wants VR on PC as well.
Geez, I hope not, the £400 price point might be a pipe dream however.

I think the gap between PS4 and Neo is more sensible than the gap they will need to keep with XB1 and Scorpio.
The whole Scorpio reveal seemed entirely reactionary to what Sony are doing with the Neo; if anything it seems like Microsoft were caught off guard and felt the need to announce something, I can't see why else they would announce it over 1.5 years before they plan to release it. Scorpio is just a piece of paper at the moment right, there's no indication that any sort of prototype actually exists right now? It will be interesting to see how close it actually ends up being to the spec they're targeting and how much it will cost.

Scorpio is basically the pull out the air spec for the next Xbox, it's not a mid gen upgrade.. Getting that performance at the price point it needs to be is a stretch 2/3yrs out never mind 1.5yrs. They reacted to Sony, Hell Sony haven't even announced any actual new specs at all yet, just admitted it existed.
All sorts could change, especially now they know MS basically have Jack all. (Just hope arrogant Sony don't turn up)

The technology they want isn't available until next year so MS just announced it so people don't go off and buy the Neo. They want people to wait.
It probably is available but not at a reasonable price.

The AMD Zen/Polaris APU isn't ready.
But isn't that what people are speculating because we know Zen/Polaris is coming to the desktop. Sony or Microsoft could use an unannounced proprietary AMD APU.

Neo is supposedly coming in white so here's another mockup.

But that doesn't go with my black stand, hear me Sony
. Never understood these colour changes (I realise its a mock up but isn't the Xbox white?)

57 hours to go. I'm way overhyped - I can't help but think I'm going to be disappointed. I'm probably expecting too much from the Neo. I hope it's not just going to be identical-looking games running at 4K.
It's not. I think people are going to be very disappointed with what they announce (unless they have changed it massively to coming next year {which I highly doubt[because people will be even more disappointed with that]}in response to MS with Scorpio).
Of course I could be wrong and it will indeed be an amazing thing, but I just don't see it, because they want this and the PS4 to co-exist, so they can't blow the PS4 out the water otherwise that's not going to happen.
It will certainly be an interesting reveal and the messaging has to be 100& on point and clear. The last tthing they want is the Xbox One reveal level of confusion afterwards and having to spend days actually answering questions of ifs and buts to press.

It's just frustrating that we know what the specs are likely to be but not one single dev has leaked anything about it - how they are using the extra power, etc. Maybe they've not even got dev kits yet?
I imagine they are in a bit of a quandary as to what to actually do with the extra power at the moment.
I also fear people expecting 1080p 60FPS in games like BF1/a retro patch to GTA V will be disappointed, there will be massive backlash of "that's it" I think towards this.

Oh crikey. That's the bare minimum I'm expecting - a lot of patches to improve the existing catalogue. I'll be gutted if they don't patch things like Assassin's Creed or Sleeping Dogs which run a bit janky. Might end up doing what Andrew House specifically doesn't want - get a PC.
I would not expect a huge launch of old game patches at all, that is just going to lead to disappointment, maybe some games like Bloodborne/Driveclub (I find this very doubtful)/UC4 etc may have improvement patches, but I don't see it reaching those performance levels, at least not consistently (which IMHO it should to be a worthy upgrade).
What they need to do is what Microsoft have done with the One S; make it so that the increased performance is available all the time so that older games which ran dynamic resolutions or frame rates get a 'free' boost without having to be explicitly patched to take advantage of the new spec.
