Console gamers, welcome to the world of PC quality gaming! From my understanding, Project Scorpio will basically be a system consisting of components on par with a high end gaming PC. Essentially, it'll be a gaming PC stuffed into an "Xbox style" case that boots into an Xbox interface. Console diehards will finally have the horsepower to achieve gaming PC quality with their games. Project Scorpio promises to run games at 4K resolution @60FPS.
PC gamers, welcome to the world of console gaming! For PC gamers such as myself, a console will never replace a real gaming PC, even if it does have components on par with the latest hardware (GPU, CPU, etc). For those that must have both though, Project Scorpio may be the first console that is worthy of your purchase. Nothing wrong with having your high end gaming PC in the bedroom/office, and having a high end gaming console in the living room as well!
The big question for me, is will I be able to use a keyboard and mouse with my Project Scorpio games?
I feel like the PS (Project Scorpio) is aimed at people that want the high end gaming PC quality experience, but don't want to have to worry about spec'ing out, and building a PC. They just want to purchase the unit, and plug and play. And that's fine for a lot of people..
For me, what I do, and since my gaming PC's case has big heavy duty caster (wheels) on it, is just wheel it out to the living room when I feel the need to play my games, or consume my Blu Ray media on the big screen. Bam! Instant "Project Scorpio" experience! ;D (with keyboard and mouse support I might add!) Of course my gaming PC boots into the Windows 10 desktop interface... but from what I understand (and I don't really know because I don't keep up with the consoles - the last console I owned was a Super Nintendo like 20 years ago lol), but from what I understand, the Windows 10 interface is not far off from the Xbox interface.
So, what are everyone's thoughts? Are you a PC gamer that's going to stick with the PC like me? A console gamer, that's looking forward to upgrading your Xbox One? Or someone with tons of money burning a hole in your pocket that just has to have both?
Who's planning on getting one?
