Gamespot also reported that Xbox's big boss Phil Spencer teased the Microsoft E3 2017 lineup in January. Before that, Spencer also announced that 2017 will not be full of Halo or Gears of War, suggesting that no new games from the franchises will release for the year.
Xbox Project Scorpio. The Xbox Scorpio console was at the E3 2016 with the Xbox One S. Scorpio is set to be more powerful than the PlayStation 4 Pro and will allegedly sport an AMD Vega GPU with six teraflops of processing power. The PS4 Pro only has 4.12 teraflops. Scorpio will also be capable of 4K resolution and there is talk about the console featuring VR technology.
In the past, it was reported that the Redmond-based tech company has even said that the new Xbox will be the most powerful console ever. It will also have the most powerful graphics processor that's ever been put into a console too. It even boasts of the highest resolutions at the best frame rates with no compromises.
