For years, both video game developers and video game consoles have chosen to offer their products at medium prices, that is, at a price that is neither too expensive nor too cheap to ensure that sales remain constant over time. This could change if we pay attention to the latest statements made by Microsoft where company leaders begin to hint that Project Scorpio will be an expensive product.
Taking advantage of the Gamescom celebration, Aaron Greenberg, Microsoft's marketing manager, has been talking about Project Scorpio, a console that will hit the market as a generational replacement for Xbox One offering, among other things, much more power or very high technological level which, as commented, is worth its price.
Project Scorpio will be a rare beast on the console scene.
According to the data we have today, once Project Scorpio reaches the market as a commercial product we will talk about a console of 6 TeraFLOPS, a rare beast in the field of consoles. Another point in its favor will be the possibility of 4K resolution, something that, although it is quite common in computers, not in the world of video consoles.
This will be precisely one of the advantages of Project Scorpio since Many of the games that are currently being developed for the console come from developers who have already had experiences in 4K on PC, with what they consider that it will be an advantage to take advantage of the system from the beginning.
As for its final price, as stated in the title, Microsoft still does not comment on anything clear, although for example Greenberg says that once it reaches the market, users will be able to enjoy "a Premium product of the highest technology", implying that it will be expensive.
