If I were a console gamer, I would be discouraged by the fact that they keep "refreshing" their consoles every 1 to 2 years. The consumer is getting screwed in this model.
2014 Buy this xbox one for $399
2016 Buy this xbox one S (for the correct performance at 1080p gaming) for $299
2017-2018 Buy this xbox scorpio for $600 (maybe more) for "4k" gaming.
I could understand if the one S wasnt in the mix between 14 and the end of 17... But this is crazy.
PS4 is in the same boat with the ps4 and ps4 pro.

People are a bunch of negative nancy's and the ones bashing the ps pro probably dont have one or at least most dont - it actually does a really good job with upscaled "fake" 4K. I actually would really laugh at somebody pixel peeping during gameplay siting - it does really well for what it is. Sure its not perfect but it works decent.

The new ATI RX 580 will fit inside of the XBOX SCORPIO.
Core Clocked At 1340Mhz and Memory 8GB/s.
It's very good choise for 2k 60fps and 4k 30fps at medium settings.

If you ask me neither console have the horsepower to run proper 4k with any fidelity worth mentioning, it's not without reason most games is up-scaled because the low fidelity/blur upon blur won't show what 4k can do. In order to provide a native 4k render with that lack of horsepower the detail would have to be sliced so heavy it would look worse than lower res with more details.
As for the question if 4k looks different, hell yeah but in order to get fps up to the level where it at least starts to get smooth (for me 60+) barely the 11.5gflops/500gb-sec 1080TI OC's can do it with full details.

Really enjoying the XB1 at the moment due to back compat, so if Scorpio allows me to bring all my XB1 and 360 games with me i am in from day one, i got two xbox ones here ready for trade in to make the deal even sweeter for that Scorpio goodness. lol
63 digital 360 games so far, i am now down to the last 31, then my entire xbox 360 digital library will be on the Xb1, and my physical copies also mounting up on BC support, soon i will be able to retire my old Xbx 360 for good, i will shed a tear.

Well that was exciting, basically a Ps4 pro style upgrade with a lot of bells and whistles and some, plus BC seems to also be catered for on the Scorpio, very nice indeed, and i have a 4k tv so i am in day one.
Very nice.

Well, 6" is better than 4", but, 12" is the dream.

Specs seem decent. Forza 4K@60FPS with 60% utilization. So much for it not being able to run true 4K...

This is the part I found most interesting. I wonder if this is something that is coming to Vega - or if it's specific to the DX12 API in the Xbox. Either way it's pretty cool.

^^The customization on this thing seems amazing, i hope we have that pro patch thing the Ps4 pro get's, cherry on the cake if XB1 games got 4k patches.

This is a very interesting reveal.
I wonder if games will be 4k 60 fps since most devs are sony favorable. or will they stay 4k 30fps.
It will be interesting to see Destiny 2 on Scorpio vs PS4 pro for instance.
Will all devs really support 4k btw, its not happening now , will they then ?
So far things are looking awesome. 4k 60 fps with only 60% usage is quite impressive imho.

I think we can safely say that Scorpo is going to be expensive. Nice specs though. Looking forward to seeing games running on it.
