217 Comments

Microsoft has filed a new trademark application for a mysterious "S" logo, just days before the company is expected to formally announce Project Scorpio and more at E3 2017.

Spotted by The Verge, the trademark application is for an S with a break in the middle (see it below). The application covers "video game consoles for use with an external display screen or monitor; video game interactive remote control units," which could be a reference to a new or updated console.

I have an Xbox One and I looked inside they're basically the same machine Xbox One Scorpio and Xbox One are the same and I can turn an Xbox One into a Scorpio by upgrading the computer chip and if you look online you can buy 4K chip for your TV but mark my words Xbox One Scorpio going to overheat like 360 in other words the games don't look any different I'm expecting games where it looks like you're actually there so far the racing games I've seen on both machines suck ass I'm expecting a racing game with a wheel Rim comes off the car after driving on it but Xbox One and Xbox One Scorpio have not produced it

in any game filling out job applications for developer that way I can show these people has really done I've been playing video games for 32 years now the game I've seen the game systems from the 80s to all the way now so I've been around a long time I'm playing video games since everyone's been in diapers

@worldoftanks: Good luck with that job application. Did they ban the use of a "period" in the school you went to? Your comments sound like you're vomiting them out.

@worldoftanks: Whoa .... Seriously now - I want a 4k chip for my TV. Where did you find them? What do you do - just take the HD chip out and put the 4k one in? What do they cost?
Totally agree about the wheel rim comment by the way.

Good job dedicating an article to a logo then having your stupid Morrowind advertisement covering half of it.

Also, screw it, call it XBox Scorpio. Why change the name at this point? It's been known throughout the gaming world for a year now. And it's not the worst name, really.

@jesterofbass: Same reason they didn't call it the PS4 Neo or Nintendo NX. It's more or less confirmed that it will be called Xbox 10S.

@sealionact: That's pretty bad....for a couple reasons.

A- The "S" in XBox One S seemingly stands for "slim" (you're welcome for that fantastic display of alliteration just now. lol) so that would be strange

B- If there's one thing you should NEVER change for a mid-level upgrade of a console, it's the number. going from "XBox One" to "XBox 10" would be like Playstation calling the Pro a PS5. It would ultimately be too confusing to the uninformed, and would lead the average consumer to believe it's a separate console entirely.

But hey that's just my view on it. You could very well be right, I just kinda hope not.

@jesterofbass: You didn't read about the hidden figures in the promo vids? MS overlayed "10XS 101317" which was either a red herring, or it alluded to Xbox 10S being launched on the 13th October 2017.

The 10 would refer to Windows 10 which Scorpio uses.

@sealionact: I hadn't, actually. Upon further research yeah this seems likely. Hell it looks like Scorpio will have even more PC-like capabilities than the rest, further bridging the gap between console and computer. Might be why they're extending their E3 conference Sunday.

to make any game system 4K you just got to add 4K chip onto the Xbox One's motherboard cuz they're running the same thing Xbox Scorpio and Xbox One running the same system I see no difference between the two and quite frankly you're just buying the same machine with an upgraded processor and a 4K computer chip but my advice open up the original Xbox One and add the 4K chip yourself you can do the same thing to your TV you just add the 4K chip to the motherboard that's all they did and they took the brain of the Xbox One and rebuilt it that's all they did to that too but like I said The more hard drives you have the more hotter the machine's going to get I give it a week before Xbox One Scorpio breaks down from overheating They're bringing back the red ring of death on Xbox 360 that red rings going to show up on Xbox Scorpio mark my words Scorpio will get to Hot with all the computer processors they need 2 cooling fans to cool it not 1 cooling fan I ain't spending my money on something that's going to break down unless I see two cooling fans I'm not getting an Xbox Scorpio

@sealionact: YES! When in doubt, just keep stacking chips until the graphics look better than real life. Cuz that's how computers work.

(I know you're being sarcastic just in case this seems insulting....lol)

@worldoftanks: Quick recap. It will cost $399 to $400 (Anywhere in between there...), will experience overheating problems with all that "terabyte" and something else that I couldn't fathom.

Have you been sniffing the thermal paste on your PS4's CPU again?
