Microsoft's Xbox Project Scorpio Console is expected to take console gaming to a whole different level and is believed to be coming around the holidays of 2017 or earlier, which means players still have to wait a bit longer. With the advances that it is aiming for, Microsoft is comparing its new console to high-end PC worth thousands of dollars.
According to windowscentral, Xbox chief Philip Spencer defined how Xbox Project Scorpio is structured to power 4K games and "high-fidelity VR." Now, the people have a more vivid idea of how Project Scorpio will achieve 4K visuals in its games and also uphold its plea of having no exclusives as compared to Xbox One.
Is this Microsoft's attempt to bridge the gap between PC and Console Gaming?
Some analysts would think that the Xbox Project Scorpio is Microsoft's effort to link the gap between PC and Console gaming. But it should also be recalled that Universal Windows Platform is a feature and not a necessity for each and every title. According to mobilenapps, Developers and Publishers are still free to create non-UWP and console exclusive title, which powers the platform in a lot of ways.

Project Scorpio could release earlier
Microsoft's Spencer suggested that the development of Xbox Project Scorpio was ahead of its supposed schedule, which could probably mean that it will be released sooner rather than later. "I'm in a day-long review of where the team is on Scorpio right now, amazing progress and we are feeling good about the schedule." Spencer said.
Xbox Project Scorpio is said to be the most powerful console ever made. It claims 6 teraflops of GPU, which will bring 4K gaming and support virtual reality. It has an internal power supply and supports 4K Ultra HD for Blu-ray discs and contents streamed through both Netflix and Amazon Video. Its design is 40% slimmer than the original Xbox One.
