Microsoft has just confirmed the existence of an upgraded Xbox console.

Microsoft has announced Project Scorpio, the next Xbox console. During its E3 2016 briefing, head of Xbox Phil Spencer said he believes it will be the most powerful console ever.

Scorpio will boast an 8-core CPU, with a GPU capable of 6 teraflops. This graphics processor will be the most powerful in a console, according to the announcement.

Microsoft promises “true” 4K gaming and “high-fidelity virtual” reality with Scorpio, which will coexist alongside the 2013 Xbox One, as well the newly-announced S model. All games available on either console, as well as accessories, will be compatible with Scorpio.

It’s due for release holiday 2017.

Looks like I'm going to be chucking even more money into MS's pockets but I think this sounds very nice and hopefully you'll actually be able to notice the differences in this "power"

-Simplicity Looks like ill be getting a new console :)


Or you could just make the move to PC? By the sounds of it, this console is going to cost just as much as a really high end machine.
