New consoles are coming and that means we will have to cough up to stay on top of our games.<\/p>\n
But how much will we be asked to pay exactly?<\/p>\n
In an interview <\/a><\/strong>with NZ Gamer, Xbox head Phil Spencer revealed that the Project Scorpio won’t retail at “unheard of prices”.<\/p>\n So I think you will feel like it\u2019s a premium product, a premium console. And not something, anything more than that. So I wouldn\u2019t get people worried that this thing is going to be unlike any console price you\u2019ve ever seen. We didn\u2019t design it that way.<\/p>\n That said, the opening price point for the Xbox One S, and the different hard drive sizes that is a critical part of this whole product. When I think about it as a product line, you should expect the pricing to kind of be in line with that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The interviewer at NZ Gamer extrapolated this to mean we could see Project Scorpio pricing to hit the $600 high of the PS3 launch.<\/p>\n This would make it $200 more expensive than the upcoming PS4 Pro (which also launches a year earlier) and could mean a very high price point for South Africa.<\/p>\n Which brand of graphics card should you buy?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Highest-rated video games of 2016 (so far)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
