These sentiments were echoed by Microsoft Studios community manager Josh Stein, who declared 2017 to be ‘the year of the scorpio’:It is 2017, the year of PROJECT SCORPIO, are you ready for the beast!? 🔥♏️🔥 pic.twitter.com/25SKDZMXfK

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.#ProjectScorpio is coming... pic.twitter.com/C9DZhNlk4e

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.”
@BeastFireTimdog Going to be a good year. Work to do on games, platform, XBL and hardware, fun times. Im waiting to hype until we show games
