We've only got a couple more month's to go before we get to see more of Xbox's upcoming console, Project Scorpio, but that doesn't mean GameStop executives can't talk about it! According to one of the executives at the game retailer, Scorpio is "very powerful" and "very gaming centric."
GameStop's most recent investor call, Chief Operating Officer, Tony Bartel offered a bit of his thoughts on Project Scorpio and what he's seen of it.
“We[re] impressed with [the] Microsoft Scorpio product," said Bartel. Despite Xbox Head Phil Spencer describing Project Scorpio as a "premium console" for "the premium gaming customer," Bartel believes that Project Scorpio is a “gamer friendly powerful console” that will help drive sales during the holiday season.
Echoing the statements of the Middle-earth: Shadow of War developer on Project Scorpio's ability, Bartel went on to speak on how powerful the console is. “Unfortunately we can’t talk about a lot other than what’s known”, he said. The Scorpio is “a very powerful system that’s really made for 4K”, he added. “We see it [as] a very gaming centric, very, very powerful unit and so we do believe that there will be some great games that are made for this.”
The concept of Scorpio being the "most powerful console ever" has been Microsoft's sticking point since its reveal in June 2015.
