How is it all put together?
“We suspect you will be pleasantly surprised.”
While we still aren’t privy to what the actual box will look like, we’re getting a detailed make up of what’s being put inside, how the engineering magic is being conjured up and port layouts that harken back to the Xbox One S.
Now that the faucet has been tapped, we’re bound to get a few more leaks regarding the game developers lined for the console as well as benchmarks from some lucky test outlets leading up to E3. Until then, we can only hope that Microsoft speaks about Project Scorpio again at its developers conference and how the console ties into Windows 10.
