Microsoft has recently announced a complete upgrade towards the Xbox One in the way of Project Scorpio. Unfortunately, there's some confusion as to what Project Scorpio actually is when related to the Xbox One. This article will not only clarify what Project Scorpio truly is, but will also give readers a few considerations in determining whether you should upgrade from the Xbox One to the Scorpio.
Project Scorpio and Xbox One
The first thing that everybody needs to know is that Project Scorpio is not the successor of the Xbox One. A lot of people who didn't know before Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference were strongly leaning towards believing that Project Scorpio was the next upcoming full-fledged new console from Microsoft. Both of what Sony and Microsoft are doing is creating a high-end variant of their existing consoles.
Difference between the two
While developers can absolutely make games exclusively for the Xbox Scorpio, the main goal is also to have the Xbox One be the affordable mass market console, while the Scorpio takes the place as the high-end option for those willing to spend a few extra dollars. All Xbox One games will play on Scorpio, and Microsoft is pushing for all Scorpio games to work on the Xbox One, but that part is up to developers.
Why you should go for the Xbox Scorpio
If you don't have an Xbox One, the Xbox Scorpio should probably be on your wish list. The Amazing power of the Scorpio is really hard to come by. Though it will cost a hefty amount, the console is still under development and would be released next year, so you probably have already saved a reasonable amount by then. If you already own an Xbox One, you should think deeply one whether you should or should not upgrade to the Scorpio. Everything will lie on your own personal preference.
