Since its announcement, a number of details have come out about Project Scorpio, like the fact that it is four times more powerful than the current Xbox One, will need a 4K TV to work at ideal performance, and that some current Xbox One games will look better on Scorpio.

This week, head of Xbox One marketing, Aaron Greenberg revealed more details about Scorpio in a recent interview with MCV, where he talked about Scorpio’s potential to change the game industry and why they announced it so close to the release of Xbox One S:

While the introduction of 4K games is exciting for many players, many won’t be too happy that the Scorpio’s release is mimicking the smartphone release model, but Greenberg believes that the Scorpio will actually ease the disruptive nature of the current console cycle.

Moving away from Scorpio talk, Greenberg also talked about the possibility of cross platform multiplayer with PS4:

So it would seem that the ball is in Sony’s court as far as cross platform play is concerned, and with the Playstation Neo’s release not to far off, this may be their chance to finally have cross platform play available on all systems.

Project Scorpio is due to release by the holiday season in 2017.
