okay so the details the article actually does say:
1) both scarlett machines will feature an SSD
2) scarlett will be revealed in E3 2019
3) halo infinite is the launch game
however the performance metrics in there are just a repost of the xbox reddit leak, which still reads totally fake to me.
That's not correct.http://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/10065...eux-prochaines-xbox-devoilees-a-l-e3-2019.htm
So there will be two different models, one for streaming and one uber powerful and expensive.
Lock the thread if it's old news.
Well, they were the first to say Nier:Automata was heading for Xbox
It's a console and then streaming options...not sure what's overwhelming about that.
they are saying that they think it is close because they confirmed the SSD. they didnt talk about anything else.They're saying that the specs are close to this though, it's not just a repeat.
Indeed, so obviously whilst the GPU is less powerful than the X, it's only having to drive 1080p so it's still going to have a crazy amount more horsepower to play with. The CPU would be the same as Anaconda, so only the resolution needs to be scaled down and no compromises have to be made on the game or graphics when designing for Anaconda.Yeah sounds like one is your 900p-1080p box for $300 and then you have your 4K version with more effects for $500.

Why? Last black friday you could get 1TB SSDs for near 2 digit figures. SSDs prices have crashed and they'll keep going down, I see SSDs becoming the standard next gen.SSD's for storage? Incredibly out of everything I find that the hardest bit to believe.
Especially the 1TB kind.
they are saying that they think it is close because they confirmed the SSD. they didnt talk about anything else.
for all we know this "Report" could just be what the verified user in here was saying which mentioned the same.
in the article, it's said:okay so the details the article actually does say:

3) halo infinite is the launch game

funny you ignored the rest of the sentence:in the article, it's said:
"during our investigation, we also had the confirmation that [the specs] that leaked in january were close to the reality"
so the specs featured in the article are indeed a repost from the reddit leak but their own sources told them it was pretty much true. And the journalist who wrote the article said he worked on it for almost 2 months so I'm encline to believe him, he's legit.
they didnt give any other confirmation regarding the details, so for all we know that could be the only confirmation they have.
Will be interesting whether Scarlett is revealed fully at E3, or just a Scorpio type reveal.
If fully announced then we'll get to see some announcements of a few next-gen games surely.
doesnt that mean that external hard drive would require SSD's though? i can see that annoying consumers who purchase an external HDD only to find out it wont work.Same speed SSDs across all SKUs is great news. It means devs can actually rely on the speed being there instead of having to still make sure games run on a HDD. This will allow for some radically different game design.
"starting with" imply it's not the only thing they got the confirmation of so...funny you ignored the rest of the sentence:

E3 2019 ? That soon ? I wasn't expecting to see MS announcing next-gen that soon...even more soon than Sony...
well they did say what the rest was. halo infintie launch game and E3 2019 reveal."starting with" imply it's not the only thing they got the confirmation of so...
I think after the Switch, having a solid exclusive as a launch game is the way to go. So if MS can launch Infinite Day and date, it would for sure be a solid reason to buy at launch for all fans (both hardcore and '2 games a year' types). Whether it turns out to be good or not is another thing entirely..
An SSD is realistic, but a 1tb SSD is NOT. Can't see that happening tbh, the cost of that would push the console up a fair amount. I guess it depends on who they are targeting with this.
Either way, nice to see the Next gen rumour mill flowing.
If Scarlett is announced this Summer then I suspect it's coming Q1 2020. Otherwise, like you, it feels like a way too long time between reveal and launch.I kinda don't believe any of this except for Halo infinite being a launch game.
Like announcing these consoles this summer, more than a year from launch seems stupid to me.
They need to increase their appeal in US/UK too.Problem is, Halo is a really US+UK franchise and it won't help them increasing their appeal to other countries.
well they did say what the rest was. halo infintie launch game and E3 2019 reveal.
this is what they confirmed from the leak.
RAM doesn't really matter for that. CPU and GPU are more important.
Now i got confused, i thought there will be 3 models: a very cheap one for streaming, a medium priced next-gen console and an expensive high-end console.So there will be two different models, one for streaming and one uber powerful and expensive.
What about the E3 2019 bit!? lol
called it.
the part about E3 2019 was from the website's own report, the specs themselves were from the obviously fake reddit leak from last month. the website just confirmed SSD.
The price gouging by laptop manufacturers has no indication on the price of the component itself or the impact it would have on a console's price. You can get a 1TB NVMe drive for closer to $100 as a consumer, obviously for much less if you're Microsoft.I don't think you will have a 1 TB NVMe drive in the more expensive one either. I have one of those in my work thinkpad and it increased the price by like $500.
