Microsoft will show the world its new game console in June

The next Microsoft game console is known by the code name Project Scorpio. For the first time it started talking in early 2016, when from numerous leaks it became clear that the Redmond company plans to give a worthy rebuff to Sony with its improved model of the PlayStation 4 console. Xbox manager Phil Spencer during the E3 2016 exhibition announced that the work on the new console really It is, but did not disclose the details. However, according to yesterday's official announcement, in June we will see the working version of Project Scorpio for the first time.

To date, relatively little is known about the console. We know that the performance of its graphics system will be close to 6 teraflops, which is roughly comparable to the Radeon RX 480. Scorpio, if you believe all the same Phil Spencer, will be the most powerful prefix on the market, about one and a half times doing PS4 Pro in graphics power . The console will also be equipped with high-performance memory and will forever get rid of the bottleneck in the face of ESRAM, which was used in the Xbox One. The prefix will accurately give out a 4K-picture without any tricks (we remind you that the PS4 Pro resorts to the so-called "chess rendering" of the 4K image). Backward compatibility with games for Xbox One will continue.

A curious detail is the support for the future console games for virtual reality. True, it is not yet clear exactly which VR helmets can be connected to Scorpio. Personally, I have two assumptions about this. Either Microsoft will enter into a partnership agreement with Oculus to use the Rift headset, or present its own helmet. Moreover, last year Microsoft has already presented several variants of budget VR-headsets, which will be produced by third-party companies.

Now we know for sure that the new Project Scorpio console will be shown to us very soon. This will happen on June 11, 2017 during Microsoft's presentation at the E3 2017. The new powerful console is always good. But only if the Redmond giant will be able to ensure its launch with interesting releases of games? After all, without a powerful game line that can show us all the charms of this iron, the prefix can be simply useless to anyone. The second question is, of course, the cost. Given that we are promised a fairly powerful stuffing, it's unlikely that the console will be 300 dollars, and the price tag can exceed 500, or even 600 bucks. After all, we all remember the sad story of how Sony tried to sell its PlayStation 3 for $ 599. Now it is left to wait on June 11 and see everything with my own eyes.
