Project Scorpio to have an internal power supply, support 4K 60fps game capture
According to Windows Central‘s sources, much like the Xbox One S, Scorpio will also have an internal PSU. All Xbox consoles, with the exception of the One S, came with an external PSU – usually referred to as a power brick.
By separating the power supply from the console, Microsoft was able to achieve better airflow, until Xbox One S bucked the trend. Many believed Scorpio, being a more powerful console, would bring back the power brick, but that may not end up being the case.
The site’s report also mentions support for HEVC and VP9 codecs. The former in particular is the codec the console will be using to encode 4K 60fps Game DVR videos. If this proves to be true, it will be one step above what PS4 Pro can offer in terms of game capture, which currently caps at 1080p 60fps.
Xbox One consoles can only manage 720p 30fps Game DVR captures, making the upgrade all the more impressive.
We expect to hear more about Scorpio during Microsoft’s E3 2017 showcase, which is taking place earlier than usual this year.

It will be less than £500 and its that simple. They know £400 was a price that worked. That was 4 years ago. They know that was the limit for that level hardware.
The not so obvious thing here is that X1 was not entirely built for games. The two heads were out the door soon after launch. Marc whitten and the other guy. My guess is that they need something thats less multimedia and more gaming. We know Phil has nailed it since. Its just obvious he'll nail it again.
