Phil Spencer confirma que Xbox Scorpio es una consola premium, cuyo objetivo es satisfacer las necesidades del público más hardcore y por lo tanto tendrá un precio "más elevado". Parece una respuesta directa al analista Michael Pachter en relación a los comentarios hechos sobre el posible precio de Xbox Scorpio y su efecto sobre Microsoft.
"Scorpio will be a premium console. It will cost more than S, obviously, this is how we are building it up. We have not announced the pricing yet, but want to make sure that the investment we are making in the product of Scorpio goes hand in hand with the requirement of high-end consumer and that means a higher price,"
said Spencer, adding that
"There is not a single product you see and say 'this is the product that defines how you are doing in the market'. It really is the repertoire of all products with prices and when we think of Scorpio it is for a high-end consumer who demands the maximum of a console, and the console built to meet that demand."
Para despistados, esto parece una forma sutil de decir que la nueva sobremesa de Microsoft no bajará de los $499/499€/£499.
