It’s official! 4K comes at a price,as Microsoft’s Xbox One X console will indeed retail for $499 on release this November. That’s a high price to pay for the Xbox One X, although Microsoft believes that it’s worth every penny to deliver on what they call the most powerful gaming console ever made.

With hardware that makes it a heavyweight in the 4K gaming scene, you can bet that all of that fancy new technology comes with a price tag that requires a substantial investment from consumer. Not everyone can afford that kind of setup however, making the Xbox Scorpio very much a luxury good. Luxury. That leaves Microsoft with a more select group to woo for their next mid-gen console, a group of people who don’t have to splash cash on the idiot tax known as the Powerball lottery every weekend in the vain hope that they’ll one day be rich and happy (hi mom!).

Microsoft has confirmed that you'll be able to play the games of yesterday on the hardware of tomorrow.

Who's got the better mid-cycle console? Microsoft with the Xbox Scorpio or Sony with the PS4 Pro? Let us talk about it!

Microsoft isn't worried about the year-long headstart that the PS4 Pro will benefit from, as their Scorpio device will have a big power difference.

Microsoft's Aaron explains how the company is doubling down on the Scorpio, and what it means for traditional console generations.

EA may be excited for the Xbox Scorpio and the PS Neo, but it's an excitement for the industry benefiting from new tech that blurs lines.

Developers are already working on integrating their games into the Scorpio ecosystem, which is why Microsoft revealed it so early.
