Microsoft Ramp Up Project Scorpio Hype; 2017 the ‘Year of the Scorpio’

4.6
The new year may barely be upon us, but Microsoft is already turning up the hype machine for its upgraded Project Scorpio Xbox console, which releases in 2017.

Head of Xbox games marketing at Microsoft, Aaron Greenberg, welcomed fans into the new year with the following tweet, declaring the upcoming system to be a ‘beast’.

These sentiments were echoed by Microsoft Studios community manager Josh Stein, who declared 2017 to be ‘the year of the scorpio’:
The excitable tweets had prompted some fans to suggest that an official announcement on the release date of the supercharged console – which Microsoft claims is “the most powerful ever” – would be forthcoming in the near future.

However, for his part, Xbox chief Phil Spencer was a little more measured in expressing his thoughts on the console; stating that although 2017 is “going to be a good year” for Xbox, he wanted to wait to hype up the console “until [Microsoft is able to] show games.”
