Microsoft has been keeping a pretty tight lid on its upcoming (and somewhat mysterious) beefed-up Xbox console, Project Scorpio. But if there’s anyone who you’ll need to impress with specs, its technical performance aficionados, Digital Foundry.
Well, Microsoft did exactly that, and flew Digital Foundry to the company’s Redmond campus for an exclusive preview of the technology in the next Xbox, and they were pretty impressed.
Here’s what they had to say so far:
“The numbers, as impressive as they are, don’t fully represent what the final product aims to deliver. Nor can the number of compute units and teraflops represent the passion the Xbox team has injected into this project.
Microsoft has a point to prove. It’s not just about performance, it’s about pushing the quality of console design to a new level – in all areas.”
Check out their thoughts on what they saw inside the Scorpio below:
I would gladly opt for a PS3 over anything Microsoft has to offer, because at the end of the day it’s all about the games on a console and no matter how powerful any given system is, if you don’t like the games it’s going to collect dust. If someone gave me a Scorpio, i’d put Netflix on it and give it my mom. Thanks but no thanks Microsoft.
