The console cycle has changed this year, not only is Sony coming out with a “high-end” PS4 at some point soon but Microsoft has also announced Project Scorpio, which will come out a lot later but will feature much more powerful hardware. During the console's announcement, Xbox head, Phil Spencer mentioned that this console was aiming for “true 4K gaming” and while there has been speculation on whether or not that's achievable, Microsoft is “really serious” about it.
In an interview this week with the TXR Podcast (via DualShockers), Xbox's Aaron Greenberg talked a little more about Scorpio, explaining that it is a “really exciting project” with lots of support from development partners already.
According to Greenberg, morale at Xbox has never been higher and the company is definitely serious about backing up its true 4K gaming claims. There is still a lot of information that hasn't been touched upon publicly yet, but we will be learning more about Scorpio later on next year, prior to its holiday 2017 launch.
Obviously, Microsoft wants to generate hype for its new console, so we will have to wait and see if we will see an influx of 4K games on console. Do note though that Microsoft isn't claiming anything about higher frame rates, even if we do hit 4K, hitting 30 frames per second will likely remain the target for many developers. We have also yet to hear anything about price. This could end up being more expensive than the Xbox One was at its launch.
KitGuru Says: There is a lot of scepticism around Scorpio and Microsoft's 4K claims. However, there is still a lot we don't know about the console so it is really too early to judge. We will have to wait and see what developers can do with the final hardware when it arrives next year.
They avoid using the word ‘upscaled’ between the true and 4k..
pcmaster race 😛
with all the BS Win10 was/is all I can do is *yawn* and here they claimed after XB1 they were “done” in the console race, doesnt seem like it.
Consoles are good value for what hardware you receive. The problem is they are really just PC’s now that can’t do all the things that PC can do. It’s worse then buying an apple computer, as you are walled off to a small subsection of a much broader spectrum of games and apps. And games on PC go on sale much sooner and boy do they get cheap on steam every holiday!
And you really can play PC from your couch now too!
The only thing you miss by not going console is a few exclusives now… don’t worry, buy those games later on ebay for cheap and fire up an emulator! Then you can even turn on all sorts of graphical enhancements!

It will be a long, long, long, long time before any console games (outside of perhaps Nintendo) from recent years have working, stable and just plain practical emulators written for them. Regardless of architecture parity between the two platform’s hardware.
Long-ass time.
If a 1080 cannot do it how the feck could a scorpio?
Doesn’t add up.
