E3 2016 is almost here are we are all anticipating something, small or big. This post will be only about the big things so it is mostly just speculation. Let's get started. http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/25/11774294/xbox-one-slim-one-two-scorpio Xbox has been dodging questions on E3 for a while now. [b]This article says that Xbox will show two new consoles at e3 this year. The Xbox One "Slim" and the Xbox One "Scorpio".[/b] The "Slim" is supposed to come out in August and it is exactly what it sounds like, a smaller Xbox. The "Scorpio" is going to be the most powerful console yet. It is supposed to be 4x more powerful than the PS4 or Xbone and 2x more powerful than the PS"4.5" or the PS4 "Neo". This leaves the question of will it leave the current Xbone in the dust. Supposedly, it wasn't going to be shown until next year but since the PS4.5's schedule has been shortened they wanted to show it ASAP. This would be a huge step for Xbox and devs like Turn 10 would have a hayday with the Scorpio. http://www.polygon.com/2016/3/28/11317470/sony-ps4-playstation-4k-rumor We probably all know the PS"4.5" or PS4 "Neo" rumors. [b]It is supposed to be a more powerful PS4[/b]. On the surface, this sounds like a great idea but I read an article that says you will have to develop for both if you are going to develop for PS4. To me, that seems more of a draw back but it might make both consoles thrive. I think this will be a very ambitious console and I am excited to see where Sony takes this. I am not sure whether the PS4.5 is confirmed or not but if it is real it will definitely be shown off at E3 this year. http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/27/11516494/nintendo-nx-launch-date-march-2017 Finally, the Nintendo NX. This is probably the only confirmed hardware of these four. [b]The NX is Nintendo's next home console and it might be a handheld and home console mix[/b]. Nintendo's last shot at a home console was the WiiU and it did not go very well. Nintendo has been very silent about the NX and people were mad that nothing got shown at E3 2015. According to the article linked, the NX is supposed to launch next March, before E3 2017. This is their last E3 to show it off and I am confident it will be shown. Whether it is successful is a different story. [b](Update1: The NX will not be at E3)[/b] If these four consoles get debuted at this years E3 it will be the best yet. I, personally, am very excited for every one of these companies and I hope it goes well for all of them. [b]Edit3: [/b]E3 Times and dates: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/204499009/0/0 Sony's and Microsoft's are on June 13th. Thanks Charlemagne! [spoiler]TLDR: Microsoft might announce the Xbone Slim and the Xbone "Scorpio". Sony might show off the PS"4.5". Nintendo might show off the Nintendo NX. [b]Edit1:[/b] Who downvoted a non biased, fact (as in not opinion) based thread? You are sad whoever you are. [b]Edit2:[/b] Some people are worried about price of these new machines and whether they will leave our current consoles in the dust. These are both very sound speculations and I think Microsoft and Sony have plans to address these.[/spoiler] Thank you for your time.
