Despite how things are looking right now, it appears Microsoft is cooking something big behind closed doors with Project Scorpio. According to Windows Central, the Scorpio console will not be coming with a Power Brick, a feature that has awkwardly existed since the dawn of the original Xbox, though the Xbox One S managed to do away with it as well. Like the S, Scorpio will feature an internal Power Supply Unit as well as 4K video streaming for stuff like Netflix and Hulu.
However, what's most intriguing is that Project Scorpio will be able to capture and output 4K, 60FPS video for Game DVR and streaming. By comparison, the original Xbox does this at 720p, 30FPS. So if you've been in the market for a video capture card, it might be wise to hold off and allocate that money for a Scorpio if you can achieve the best quality through the console, plus have a new platform to play games on.
In other Project Scorpio news, the console just recently launched a pre-order page with a Holiday 2017 release window. There's still no word on a price point, but that hasn't stopped fans from making their predictions. Scorpio is also said to be launching with some platform specific games that will take advantage of its hardware, but once again, we have no idea what they are. The safe bet is that we will see more of the game, and get a price and release date come E3 2017.
