Microsoft On The Xbox Scorpio And The Death Of Console Generations

I love the Xbox scorpion or hate it, you can not deny that there is something interesting in the video game industry at this time. Microsoft (and Sony as well, but Microsoft is that currently Fielding questions) is out to completely change the concept of generation Xboxes with Scorpion, a device indexed fans who is almost 5 times more powerful than the Xbox One yet designed to sit beside the old machine, playing the same games at a higher resolution, with a kind of VR ability that really has not been detailed yet. It's a bold idea, which has generated much discussion.

Last week, a report from DFC Intelligence excoriated the company to announce the Scorpion so early, saying that the Scorpion would kill the Xbox One S and force Microsoft into the console business. He spoke to the concerns of some people about adapting to this new generation of ecosystems less, but with some pretty strong feelings. Xbox chief operating officer Dave McCarthy spoke to Gamespot recently to meet some of the general concerns people express, and generally seems fully committed to this new idea of ​​a smooth transition.

"Obviously, to hear your comments about our approach influenced Xbox One Xbox One S and has influenced our approach to the overall project Scorpion" he told Gamespot. "So, actually, we do not want either a perfect experience of entering this ecosystem of devices, including Windows 10, if possible. Learn and improve in this area on a regular basis."

"This term of an update is gone. As a player, which is very good," he said. "I know I buy games and game controllers today and use today will work tomorrow on that machine. And that's the big change is not real."

There are some interesting things here and there are concerns. I like the idea of ​​backward compatibility continues, and I think it could bring much more useful for developers and players alike. Moreover, I prefer to see game updates with more computing power rather than just better resolution, and Microsoft will have to be much clearer about how it really works if she wants to get on the same page with consumers. It is a big question mark right now, and the next big test will be what happens when Sony made it possible for your ad. The Neo probably arrive before the scorpion, and does not seem so far to reach the same scale modernization of equipment. So you could test the waters a bit. We'll know more soon.
