Here Are The Internet's Best Reactions To The Project Scorpio Specs Reveal
Digital Foundry recently had the chance to take a gander at Project Scorpio and came back with some information about its specs. The power within the console is pretty impressive but reactions have been all over the place. We've collected the best of the best here, from the insightful to the most brutal criticisms. Enjoy.
@gameinformer The tech sounds good but will we get the games to back it up ?. That's more important than tech spec imo

(Really clever to release the specs through Digital Foundry, probably the most trusted source on specs and tech analysis in games)

@gameinformer If you have a decent PC, you already have Scorpio beat before it has even come out. Since Microsoft 1st party games are on PC now, why buy?

I have to admit that I'm more than a little salty that Microsoft's Project Scorpio has nothing to do with Hank Scorpio. pic.twitter.com/Wra5egYsUj

I'm sorry, but "your games will look better on Scorpio" is not a good enough reason for me to drop hundreds of dollars.

Difficult for me to get on board with Scorpio. I can count the number of great exclusives I have for my Xbox One on one hand. Trust issues.

Makes sense that they are doubling down on the core. That's where spend has come from this gen.

But family/casual is a missed opportunity.
@gameinformer impressed and ready to spend 600$

@gameinformer I will care if and when Microsoft doubles down on exclusives for Xbox One that are not also available on Windows 10.

Scorpio looks good spec wise but xbox really need some strong exclusives to sell that console compared to what PS have already announced.

Just wanted to join in. Cheers.

I always root for anything in gaming to do well. I'll root for Scorpio.

But what good is a Mercedes if you have no roads or destinations?

Scorpio's got decent specs, it seems, but I haven't used my Xbox One in weeks, and that's not because it's underpowered.

yeah we get it Scorpio, you vape pic.twitter.com/rxKnvGjqBf

Not seeing anywhere in the Project Scorpio news that I can play it on the toilet, which, thanks to Switch, is my new bar for consoles.

Xbox Scorpio will render all our canceled exclusives in 4K 60 FPS

Specs mean nothing. Scorpio is a monster technically but will it have games as inventive and fun as BotW? Or just hi-res shooters?
— Andrew Todd (@mistertodd) April 6, 2017
I will admit that the Xbox Scorpio specs are impressive. It can manage 6 teraflops, whereas the original Xbox One was just 1 massive flop.
