Would Oculus Support Convince You To Upgrade To Scorpio?

The rumour mill is at it again and the latest morsel to bounce off from that ever turning grindstone is the speculation that Microsoft are, as many have suspected, indeed working on some new Xbox hardware. A slim model firstly will be bestowed upon us and next, the much more exciting idea of an Xbox One upgrade – codenamed ‘Scorpio’ – that will house a more powerful GPU and technically could handle 4K. Though unless the I/O transfer was increased this would mean lengthy load times for 4K content.

[TheGreatGamer]

It's definitely good that Microsoft won't be left out of the VR game (if the rumours are true) but 6Tflops plus backwards and forwards compatibility basically make it a day one buy for me

[Paytaa]

Yeah I was indifferent to the mid-cycle upgrades, but if they're going to be this much more powerful with backward and forward compatibility along with VR, I'm game.

The Scorpio sounds like basically a brand new console

[Volkama]

A brand new console? Sold! I'd have been happy if it was just a pack of stickers I could whack on my current xbox.

[Matology]

I hope they keep Scorpio as the name of the box, Xbox Scorpio. Possibly have a Scorpion on the box somewhere?

Day one for me if real.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Because it is.

[ShadowKnight]

6 TFlops that's almost the same as a GTX 1070 lol. The Scorpio is going to be expensive that's a fact. Now I know why Microsoft is making to versions one for the budget gamer and one for the rich. The price will match a mid-range PC. I feel sorry for the people that bought an Xbox one this year though. Sucks for them.

[poppinslops]

Yeah, it's weird to think that it's already time to get excited about 'next-gen' consoles again... either way, I get the feeling E3 2016 is gonna be talked about for years to come.

As to whether or not Oculus would convince me to upgrade, I'd say it depends... if Microsoft can get Star Citizen to work on an Xbox with Oculus then I might be convinced - that's assuming Star Citizen ever gets released (and doesn't suck) and that Kinect is forward-compatible (for head-tracking).

Aside from 'Adr1ft', the current lineup of VR games looks pretty uninspired... I guess Forza might be cool in VR, but I wonder if I'd be able to use my steering wheel (changing gears could be tricky with the headset)?

And what's the deal with VR porn - anyone know if it's worth a 'look'?
Edit: Nevermind - I've thought about it and realised the headset's gonna lead to things getting 'messy'... Covering the walls with tissues sounds like a lot of work and I'm not a fan of condoms.

[BossBattle]

So does Neo

[babadivad]

I think it is.

[Rookie_Monster]

Day One as well. Buying all my third party games that aren't on PC with it and enjoying the best in VR games. No brainer

[slappy508]

I don't have an xbox one but id definitely get one if it supports the oculus that I'd be getting for my pc, and that power would be attractive for a console

[GMR_PR]

6Tflops already convinced me, Oculus support would be icing on the cake.

[ShadowKnight]

@Bruce 755 they think it's going to be cheap with 6Tflops lol. GTX 1070 says hi

[Errorist76]

4 times 1.23 isn't even 5 TF!

[Mulando]

@bruce755
A console is much cheaper and does not require care like a PC does.
No issues with drivers etc. Since the time I've become father I don't have the time to take care for my PC. PCs are time-consuming. Well for RTS games I still prefer to use the PC, but everything else -> xbox

[seanpitt23]

It's not 6tflops it works out at 4.8tflops if the rumours are true. But this machine will definitely be able to do VR and 2k gaming upscaled to 4k

We need to know the cpu upgrade and it needs to be a big step up or it will just bottleneck and I estimate the price to be $549 to $599 launch price xbox one drops to $249

[DopeTech]

From where did you get the '4.8 tflops'?

[nX]

@DopeTech
4x the power of an XB1 is 4,8tflops. That would be enough for the next 5 years, but expect to pay at least 399$/€. Mass-produced 6tflops would be 600 bucks or even more at this point.

[seanpitt23]

You need 4tflops minimum to be Able to run oculus and that what they are aiming for! 4.8tfp sounds about right. 6tfp wouldn't be cost effective that 1.2tfp of extra power would put an extra $150 on the machine and this machine will be expensive they are going for power and they might even call it Xbox one elite like no expense spared same with the $150 controller aimed more at the hardcore audience.

This console will be over $500 they might price it at $499 but take a little loss on each sold.

[joab777]

It will change MS fortune overnight.

[Errorist76]

In the U.S. maybe.... Worldwide it won't change much.

[Errorist76]

So 1200 bucks is nothing for you?! I'm pretty sure just weeks ago you complained about the Rift and Vive prices.

[Fin_The_Human]

I will eat my hat if those specs and features are true for the scorpio and MS manages to keep the price at $399.00.

I am for a new console but won't pay anything above $450.00

[Fin_The_Human]

Found this very interesting.

Project Scorpio:

A new computing paradigm that exploits uncertainty to design systems that are energy-efficient and scale gracefully under hardware errors by operating below the nominal operating point, in a controlled way, without inducing massive or fatal errors.

This vision is realistic because not all computations and not all data of an application are equally critical, requiring to be performed or maintained at 100% accuracy or correctness. Several application domains offer the opportunity to trade off quality of service (QoS) for significant improvements in energy consumption. For such applications, it may be possible to only approximate the final output (or part of it), rather than computing the exact output result.

[Vasto]

It is good that it will have VR support but that has no impact on all why I will buy the system.

VR is cool tech that is still years away from being something I would buy.

[SteamPowered]

Your loss. VR is amazing. Its the difference between playing a game through a window, and actually walking around inside that game. Flat games seem so sub-par after playing VR.

[dillhole]

Absolutely agree. I have the Gear VR, which is pretty much the bottom end of VR (except Google Cardboard) and just a simple app like Ocean Rift, where you swim about in water and look at sea life is an amazing experience. To think strapping my phone to my face with some goggles can make me feel like I am inside a game. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with better tech and proper games.

[Vasto]

@SteamPowered

Show me any VR game that is as good as Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto 5, Halo 5 Guardians, The Legend Of Zelda.

I said that it is cool tech but we are not there yet. When I start seeing VR games that match the quality of traditional games then I will buy.

No loss at all for me because I have not spent a dime.

$800 for Vive, $600 for Oculas

Never jump on early tech.

Enjoy your loss.

LMAO

[SteamPowered]

None of those games comes close to actual presence that VR brings. Walking around the mountains of skyrim in VR is incomparable to watching a flat game on your tv. If anything, I feel you VR naysayers are left behind. I don't feel bad at all being on the bleeding edge. Now that I own VR, I simply can't think of gaming the same.
I can tell from your ignorance that you haven't played the Vive or Rift. Why don't you try it before blindly denouncing it? It's like a game review you wrote from reading the back of the games box.

[ShottyatLaw]

As much as I want to jump on VR, I am waiting, too. One reason is the underwhelming software right now. The other is the likely increases in capabilities and decreases in pricing that will come in the next year or two.

[Valkron1]

Vasto True, early adapters have a premium to pay so it's not for everyone. But spare me your "enjoy your loss" crap. I may cancel my Oculus pre order (I have time to decide, lol) but that's over a DRM issue, not price. I already have my Vive and my kids and I enjoy it greatly. It's so much more than another system, it's a whole new format. I can still enjoy GTAV, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, and Doom in VR thanks to VorpX, and play classic games thru DolphinVR, all while getting to enjoy new VR games now. It isn't an isolating experience either. Some games are great as party games. I'm sure it will get over 1000 hours use in the first year putting it under a $1 an hour. I think even poor people could afford that without even raising the minimum wage

[Vasto]

@SteamPowered

The only person here ignorant is you. You can not read and comprehend at all.

I never denounced anything.

READ

VR is cool tech.

I have zero interest in VR until it gets some good games.

Again,

No one said we will never get VR.

Enjoy your loss.

[Vasto]

@Valkron1

No thanks, still not interested.

But thanks for beta testing for us.

LMAO

[green]

I am not yet sold on VR so, I have to say NO. If devs manage to bring some amazing VR experiences, that ends up convincing me to give VR a try, then I would be glad the next Xbox is powerful enough to support Oculus Rift.

As for now, my main draw to the next Xbox is the rumored 6Tflops capability of the GPU. As someone that has been disappointed by the lame leap in graphics performance this gen, that amount of power is music to my ears.

[DLConspiracy]

I think it's a good selling point. Especially since I can use it on both my Xbox and my PC. I will be able to enjoy it with more friends that way. Price is gonna be key though.

[TyBREAKR]

Yes

[Rookie_Monster]

Agreed. Day One. Able to share the VR unit between my PC and console is great. Killing two birds with one stone.

[mxguy93]

why have the console though?, when you can play almost all console exclusives on pc

[ninsigma]

I think a lot of people would upgrade with or without it tbh. It's a good feature though!

[Bobafret]

No, but great games that take advantage of the hardware will.

[senorfartcushion]

There is a clause that states that "all upcoming games have to match launch ps4s in terms of framerate/resolution."

No one is taking advantage of the hardware.

[Imalwaysright]

If a big publisher decides to take advantage of these supposed PS4 neo and Xbox Scorpion consoles do you think that some clause will mean anything? Imagine a big game like CoD having vastly superior versions for these new supposed consoles. Do you think that Sony would say "no you can't release your game on the PS4".

[senorfartcushion]

Yes. Hence the term "clause."

[ILostMyMind]

@SenorFartCushion
You are wrong. Frame rate and resolution are the characteristics that will certainly change. It is also possible that filters are triggered and textures are replaced, which is unlikely because it would require time and investment in programming. What can not change is the game's content. But it was funny how he says that Sony does not determine what may or may not be on the PlayStation.

[senorfartcushion]

That is the only reason why it is out.

They aren't making new consoles.

It is only because the VR headsets (Oculus PSVR) run like balls on the current consoles.

THESE CONSOLES ARE ONLY TO DISPLAY VR GAMES IN 4K HENCE THE TERM PS4K and ALL OF THE BAD MATRIX JOKES E.G. MORPHEUS NEEDS NEO BLAH BLAH CAPS!

I don't want the AAA games industry to collapse thanks
Making new consoles before any bew games and even before the vr headsets come out would be suicide.

[joeorc]

Hmm, I wonder if were going to see the media and many gamers on forums this time lambaste about the price of these PS4k and Xbox scorpion when its bound to go over $500.00 or hell i even expect them to surpass $599.00

I mean those media hounds were pretty on the ball last cycle when Sony as they stated over and over has the Arrogance to charge $599.00 for a game consoles.

If they do not I wonder if that's because [Things Change] right?

This if true about these new systems, will be interesting to see how it plays out in the Media and gamer forums.

[ILostMyMind]

I see no problem (besides the fact that I can not buy one) since these consoles will be OPICIONAIS.

[ziggurcat]

The only thing I need to convince me to upgrade are the specs. I'm not buying into VR on any platform.

[senorfartcushion]

If you aren't getting VR you don't need this because it is only for VR

[BossBattle]

Wrong. If you're the type concerned about resolution and frames rates then this will be for you also.

[senorfartcushion]

The framerate and resolution cannot be touched.

Are you mad?

[starchild]

Why? VR is pretty incredible. Have you tried it?

[ziggurcat]

No, I haven't. It's not a criticism at all, I'm just not interested.

[Keregan]

Nope, VR is a gimmick, but 4k 60 fps gaming bring it on

[starchild]

4k gaming at 60fps on a console this generation isn't going to happen. It's highly unlikely, in fact, that even 4k at 30fps would be possible with current AAA games.

[Mr-Dude]

Well, it's good they support OR, but if rumors a true, which I doubt. The NEW console from MS is going to be expensive. A GTX980 has 5 Tflops, and I have a hard time believing MS can hit 6 Tflops without taking a big loss.

Well, In the end maybe it forces Sony to up their game and they announce that the NEO is optimized for VR and their "next console" is at 8 Tflops ^^

[SteamPowered]

Judging from Microsoft's bewildering business decisions of late, I could see them shoving a 1070 in the new console and powering it with an i5 equivalent CPU or something stupid.
This new Scorpio will be pricey if they expect to hit those marks. And we all know the best features of consoles are Price and Exclusives. The next console generation with their prices and short lived intervals really puts PC gaming as a viable option.

[Mr-Dude]

Well, the exclusives is a matter of taste and personal opionion, but the price for sure. Money is universal. With a 1070 they can archieve 9 Tflops but comes with a hefty pricetag. 6 Tflops is overkill, for now, but the 1070 isn't even out yet so in a year maybe these specs are obsolete. But yeah, I think X1 fans should wait before cheering to much...

In my opionion, MS is going the way of a steammachine rather than a console.

[joeorc]

@Mr-Dude
[Well, In the end maybe it forces Sony to up their game and they announce that the NEO is optimized for VR and their "next console" is at 8 Tflops ]

That would not be very conducive to Sony's current plan!

I mean , Sony just does not have that kinda capital to burn on hand.
Microsoft just wrote off 8 billion dollars for the Nokia part of their company, while Sony back in 2014 wrote of its Sony Ericsson 1.6 billion..can you guess which stock took the most hit?

Sony getting into a war of Attrition with Microsoft's war chest in Money is not going to net them anywhere near a victory but a over all net loss playing that game on Microsoft's Terms. Instead Sony is playing it smart.

While Microsoft's still trying to make the PC be your go to entertainment box or system under your TV ..Both Nintendo and Sony are expanding their Eco system [directly] into the TV itself..making the TV itself a part of its entertainment compute Eco system.

Why its very simple..Microsoft does not have an advanced version of an OS for the TV itself. Google and other such companies that support Android OS do..Sony is one of them.
Its very simple unlike Microsoft Sony in fact makes Smart TV's.

Now they are of course no where near the leadership role but they are the 3rd largest and have profit coming from their TV subsidiary.

Sony now has made use of the fact that Playstation living room systems streaming to other devices like other TV's, Mac & PC now soon other Mobiles outside xperia..

Just means with Playstation VUE & Playstation Now going into smart TV's that now even your 2nd or 3rd TV in your house can be a Playstation.

The fact that Sony is also made a mobile playstation software 1st party studio is not only making games for smartphone's.. Its also making those games for smartTV's also.

Remember Playstation VUE now also works with Amazon fire players , fire sticks, chrome cast, iPad, iPhone. Roku is in the works for a deal also.

That does not mean Son't is going to stop production on a living room Playstation and just step aside because Microsoft's spends tons of money on trying to push Sony out of the way, based on the power of their system vs Playstation.. It did not work against the playstation 2 nor did it work against the PS3 ..despite the many who think its just one condole at a time vs one on one that's not how the market works..Microsoft just stopped production on the xbox360, Sony is still producing PS3, PSVita, PS4 and soon to be PSVR, while Microsoft is again down to one single console .yes you could count Windows 10 OS also as part of that , but again Sony now is supporting Android OS and iOS from streaming Box's to smartTV's . Microsofts msin problem is mainly only two regions on earth where Microsoft has a good chance for an install base growth, and That is because mainly Microsoft only really concentrates on and that is the North America & UK. Market .
You cannot win the Market if your only really concentrating only on two regions..the game console market is a world wide market.
while both Nintendo & Sony unlike Microsoft really do make sure in the game console market they infact do concentrate on a world wide scale.

By many looking at this being a test in power its not example:

Last cycle for charging $599.00 for a playstation 3 ; Sony played dearly for that for several PR problems for system Adoption..do many think that would not Apply now?

Pushing past $500.00 is a no sale for many in the console market no matter the bells or whistle's that come with it.

[Mr-Dude]

MS has a huge pile of cash, for sure. We will see where that brings them, up till now 20 million behind. Sony made the cocky mistake with the PS3, and if MS announces a NASA console, fire breathing Xbox for a price of $499 they will lose money on every unit. But I am sure over at Sony they are sweating bullets now, and making sure there R&D does everything to counter it. Even lose money, they will after the succes of the PS4 never step aside.

If it's all true....

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Windows 10 is already an advanced version of an OS. It can run on anything as small as a thumb stick or as large as a PC. Not sure of your actual point.

[Zeref]

I am expecting to pay at most $700 for this new Xbox. Its not for everyone. Its for the graphics enthusiasts and VR.

[SteamPowered]

Hopefully game devs actually use this power. 6TF is overkill on anything the X1 has churned out so far. Considering most of their games are locked in at a framerate around 30fps, and 1080p certainly isnt the norm, 6TF is a waste on the existing X1 games. It may be a little while until we see Games actually utilizing this power unless Devs get their hands on this "Scorpio" ASAP.

[Lennoxb63]

"It may be a little while until we see Games actually utilizing this power unless Devs get their hands on this "Scorpio" ASAP."

Nobody knows how long the devs have had it. And if it does exist, only the big devs have it right now.

[dillhole]

All I have to say to the doubters is: TRY VR. It's fair enough watching videos about it and making assumptions, but until you actually try it there is no way to know how it feels to be right inside a game.

[GrimmyReaper]

Well, after the whole fiasco with blocking games and lack of communication and dedication to make the Oculus Rift an open platform, I'd say. Hell no. Not in your life. I could buy the much better HTC Vive for my PC for all my games.

[Kribwalker]

Not big on VR yet, but gonna buy a 4K tv this year so a console that can do 4K will definitely be for me

[BossBattle]

I'm buying this day one. I don't care if it's $799. I've bought a iPhone that was $850. Plus I'm guaranteeing that MS will sell it at a loss or at least even out at no profit. But they can afford to. I'm the first one months ago that said MS would have an upgraded X1 for the Oculus Rift. But I was called a fanboy with wishful thinking. Wishes come true.

[Vasto]

I am also buying it day 1.

[Pancit_Canton]

Nope. You might as well buy a gaming PC rather than (RUMOR) Xbox Scorpio. Oculus Rift is optimized for gaming PC not for Xbox 1000. Also with the gaming PC, you can remote play with the PS4 and possibly play it's VR contents on the PC with Oculus Rift.

[Vasto]

Xbox Scorpio will be a gaming pc running Windows 10 that will cost you half the price that it would cost to build a PC.

Microsoft is about to take over again.

[joeorc]

@Vasto5m ago
[Xbox Scorpio will be a gaming pc running Windows 10 that will cost you half the price that it would cost to build a PC. ]

[Microsoft is about to take over again.]

Take over again? When did microsoft take over the game console market when they only had one system last cycle vs's Sony's three & Nintendo's 4 systems.

Microsoft is now back to one system while both Nintendo and Sony have three and four separate systems in the game console market. That 7 to 1 in favor of non Microsoft's OS powered devices trying to still put a Windows Os platform under the TV. While the whole Time Sony and Nintendo are taking over the TV itself!

The TV itself is becoming its very own computing platform heard for entertainment for the living room imagine that a TV that goes into the place its meant to go to become its very own computer entertainment platform/s go figure.

Microsoft having the "unified one code platform" has always been there media center PC, so if they were going to take over again , why is the Media center PC not the leader still..

HayHay after 38 years of still and still trying and its still no closer to it happening , should tell you something.

Now they just lost their mobile market domination attempted rive for windows phonephone plan with Its 8 billion write off..but yeah, they are going to take over the living room again/s

They are not going to take over especially with the stalling drive for mobile, its looking less and less likelihood of it ever happening now. Without a real solid stake in mobile.

When Android OS is getting a rather large foothold into the living room computer entertainment market already as is, when smart TV's are becoming the standard for TV manufacturing.

Which runs AndroidOS which so happens to support the main graphics Api Vulkan.

Again while Microsoft continues to try to keep putting a PC under the TV, many consumers Question why do I need that when I can just use my laptop, tablet or smartphone or TV now.

Its not Microsoft who is in the leadership role, hell its not even Sony at this point its a battle of Operating systems for the living room and opensource is winning it handedly.

@bruce755

LMAO, that is Gamespot.

Xbox One was the best console of last gen that dominated PS3.

If PS3 won then it would say PS3 dominated.

PS3 won what? LMAO

[Pancit_Canton]

LMAO. Your ignorance doesn't match reality. Where did get that information that's it's going to cost half to buid a PC? Did you pulled that out your arse? Xbone cost about half to build a decent gaming PC. If the rumor is correct about the 4-6X more powerful than Xbone. The price would be about $800 or more, the same price to build a decent gaming PC.

[Vasto]

@Pancid

The salt

$800 for a console?

Talk about ignorance. You think MS will release a console that cost $800?

smh

[BossBattle]

I have $3300 pc with a Titan X. Personally I still don't like gaming on pc because it's too inconvenient for me with too many settings to deal with. Consoles don't get viruses or deal with pc issues. Scorpio won't be for everybody. But it's for me and a lot of others. It good to have options. I was a pc enthusiast but now I'll be a console enthusiast too.

[Majister-Ludi]

I'm gonna call you a liar. No one on earth with a fucking Titan says I don't like pc gaming. No one spends that type of cash then says yea I prefer console gaming. Get the fuck out of here.

[Pancit_Canton]

LMAO. I'm just don't know what to say.

[BossBattle]

@bruce755 who said settings were too hard again since you have that in quotations? Come better than that.

@majister you don't know what I have. If you knew about the Titan X, you'd know it's better for video editing than gaming which is what I do. I use it for Adobe Premiere and Pro Tools which requires horsepower especially when it comes to adding effects and rendering. But you wouldn't know about that.

@pancit just don't say anything.

[Pancit_Canton]

@Vasto

It's called living in a real world and using my brain to do a simple math.

Good luck on your $500 Xbone Scorpio. Maybe in 2-3 years it would cost that much to produce.

[Zool 08]

SO what happened to the cloud,DX12 and other secret sauces MS was supposed to have. Or is the real secret sauce is to upgrade their console?

[BossBattle]

The Sony fanboys cooked up the secret sauce. Now they have a bitter taste in their mouths since hearing about Scorpio. Eat up.

[lastking95]

Cloud? I enjoy it everytime i play halo and will enjoy it when crackdown release. Dx12? Been pretty good made devs lives a bit easier gave a performance boost to some games and will help scale game for the scorpio, pc and One. Was this supposed to be a secret? I thought it was common knowledge. Who knew cloud and api could be a secret? Lol

[poppinslops]

Crackdown's still coming - should be at E3... but even something as beastly as a 6TF Xbox wouldn't be able to handle that kind of destruction without cloud-processing.

I'm pretty sure 'Ashes of the Singularity' is the first real 'from the ground up' DX12 game, but it's only recently released and it's a PC exclusive... that said, mouse and keyboard support (and WIN10/DX12) may well lead to an Xbox port.

But I just don't see how an optional upgrade can be considered 'secret sauce'... Aside from the VR lineup, Scorpio is still gonna have the same games library as the XO (which already has some great-looking games like Ryse and Quantum Break).

[Zeref]

DX12 is already here, cloud is being utilized in Halo 5, Forza and titanfall. The real test will be cloud offloading. Which they are doing with crackdown 3.

[dumahim]

Honestly, it all depends on how well it performs. I've only bought the Forza games and Dead Rising 3 for my One. Well, even if it performs well, I don't think I'd be willing to spend another $4-500 on a new one, plus the $600 for the Oculus for the few games I'd actually play on it.

[lastking95]

Don't care about VR if they annouce a price of $499 with a $199 trade in creadit for XO,day one buy. Otherwise year 2 buy.

[Psychotica]

I don't what the hardware specs are for Scorpio but I doubt the Oculus Rift experience would perform very well. Even PC's have to have top hardware to get the needed 90fps for a good experience.

[WeAreLegion]

No. Screw Oculus and Facebook. They're already trying to ruin VR.

[GrimDragon]

For me it's all about the games. It's great that new consoles are on the way but if they arrive with mediocre or sub standard blasé games than iam forced to hold back and see how things pan out. Iam interested in vr tech for sure but right now I have not seen a single game that makes me hungry for it. I have certain taste when it comes to games I get bored easily. Some people rave about the feeling of walking around shooting stuff, or swimming, or doing what's already done in games but in a VR scape it's so much better. That's all well and good but I need more than just a feeling of immersion I need a game that gives me a genuine reason beyond immersion to even consider it. When I see a game that flicks my switch on either the neo or Scorpio I'll definitely buy them. Until than its a PC that can run vive and VR porn for me.

[Scatpants]

I do have an Oculus preordered but they're going to have to come out with some pretty good Xbox Oculus exclusives to warrant me buying another Xbox since I could just get most games on PC, but for someone without a PC I could see them wanting to get it.

[DopeTech]

Not only Oculus Rift, but the powerful specs too, Imagine the 6 tflops getting utilized, It'll feature the best graphics around, it even can do NATIVE 4K gaming, I'M SOLD!!

[cyber_daemonx]

Occulus is too rich for my blood. I'll just have to settle for PSVR. Also if scorpio is really that powerful may as well just get a gaming rig instead.

[Lord_of_Cinder]

A more interesting question would be...

After the xbox community passionately talked trash about VR in general and PS4 NEO rumors, will they start contradicting themselves and disrespect their own previous statements by saying now that they want VR and a new upgraded console?

Stay tune !

[Lennoxb63]

There's a division between both fan bases. There are those who are for, and against both VR and the upgrades on both sides.

[magiciandude]

I'm not upgrading for VR, I'm upgrading for better performance and better AAAA gaming experiences!

[theFAYEsorceress]

vr is gonna be the cause of some pretty horrible/funny injuries and accidents. mark my words lol

[SCW1982]

It's a very promising start but honestly the only two games I have that I played on my One are Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break. Oh Ori is also rad.

[XStation4pio_Pro]

6 tflops would convince me

[mxguy93]

no, id rather buy a pc that can play 95% of xboxs exclusives

[gamertk421]

Sounds good, but I'd get one regardless. Have to be a part of Xbox retaking the most powerful console title.

[MasterD919]

No, Scorpio would convince me to upgrade to Scorpio.

I don't need another useless device. My Kinect is a paper-weight.

[vega275]

I would buy it day one. I've already got a Pc that can handle the rift. But a upgraded xbox 1.5 would be great since I will.be able to.play my Xbox 1 games as well as my x360 games.

[ScorpiusX]

In a heart beat , i would get one day one . Personally getting Scorpio day one anyway .

[Questofthecrew]

Day Zero

[DasTier]

I don't see what everyone is excited about with VR on home consoles, I got to experience one of the early dev models of oculus rift and it just seems so expensive and limited.

I honestly have no doubt that home console VR will end up sat collecting dust at the way side with Motion Controls, the Ouya and dance/rhythmn games.

[2cents]

Oculus > PSVR

Rumoured new console spec at the base level
6TF > 4.2TF

No brainer.

Also considering almost every VR game trailer has 'Best on Oculus' plastered all over it, makes the choice even easier.

All hypothetical for now.

I don't like VR, but a piece of more advanced technology for a console-price is what I want :)
main thing it must be backwards compatible
