Looks like they intend for the XOS to be the standard going forward with Scorpio being the future proof box.
I just wish he'd quit pretending that they're gonna have a console that can do 4K well. They know damn well it's a struggle to do 4K unless you turn everything down and run it at half the framerate with dips in the 20s.

I still don't understand why he said this unless it was taken out of context.
All he had to say was
"Our devs can choose to use the 6TF in many ways besides 4K rendering.."
That would sound like it benefits anyone regardless of whether or not it's native 4K rendering. They essentially created a "4K" buzzword.

Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
Someone lied about this on Gamespot and that same person got corrected. Anyways Phil is basically saying that that if you WANT to see the TRUE resolution of 4k gaming from the Scorpio then get a 4k TV. Similar to how if you want to see the true resolution of a native 1080p game then get a 1080p TV. You'll still get games that will still look beast while playing on 1080p TV. I mean would a native 1080p game still not look great on a 720p TV? We just wont see its true potential thats all. Devs will still be able to use the FULL power of the Scorpio hardware and make the best looking games. So I don't get what this thread proves or what the article is trying to prove?

Again he's not saying that you NEED a 4K TV for the Scorpio in order for it to do anything, but you should get one if you want the full gaming experience of the console.

Also from your article..
Clearly, you can buy Scorpio, and if and when you decide you want to buy a 4K television to take advantage of the increased performance, obviously the console will be ready for you.

I posted it right here:
"Or," he continued, "if developers want to use those 6 teraflops in other ways they're free to do that."
It's basically up to the devs which is why I said the 4K buzzword was stupid because not every dev creates the same game. Some will go for upscaled games with better graphics/performance, some will render at 4K.

Saying "This is a 4K machine!" makes people think every game is 4K.

Same way Xbox One/PS4 are "1080P" gaming consoles yet there are some games that render at a lower resolution because every game is created differently.

He probably just wants to sell Xbox One S and not just have people waiting for the Scorpio.

Which is why I said Tuesday it was dumb as fukk to announce both consoles like that. Announce the Scorpio NEXT YEAR so you don't fukk One S sales. I swear these suits are idiots at times.
