The DeanBeat: The art of lifting the veil on a new video game console

Microsoft revealed details on its Xbox Scorpio game console on Thursday, giving exhaustive specifications on the hardware that will go into its next gaming machine.

So begins a series of revelations that will take us through E3, the big game industry trade show in June, and an eventual launch in the holidays of 2017. It was a limited reveal, with no information yet on the games, the operating system, the user interface, the industrial design, the price, or the myriad other details associated with a major game console launch.
