The rumour mill is at it again and the latest morsel to bounce off from that ever turning grindstone is the speculation that Microsoft are, as many have suspected, indeed working on some new Xbox hardware. A slim model firstly will be bestowed upon us and next, the much more exciting idea of an Xbox One upgrade – codenamed ‘Scorpio’ – that will house a more powerful GPU and technically could handle 4K. Though unless the I/O transfer was increased this would mean lengthy load times for 4K content.

Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.

It's definitely good that Microsoft won't be left out of the VR game (if the rumours are true) but 6Tflops plus backwards and forwards compatibility basically make it a day one buy for me
It is good that it will have VR support but that has no impact on all why I will buy the system.
VR is cool tech that is still years away from being something I would buy.
I am not yet sold on VR so, I have to say NO. If devs manage to bring some amazing VR experiences, that ends up convincing me to give VR a try, then I would be glad the next Xbox is powerful enough to support Oculus Rift.
As for now, my main draw to the next Xbox is the rumored 6Tflops capability of the GPU. As someone that has been disappointed by the lame leap in graphics performance this gen, that amount of power is music to my ears.
I think it's a good selling point. Especially since I can use it on both my Xbox and my PC. I will be able to enjoy it with more friends that way. Price is gonna be key though.
