Hvorimod der ikke kan herske nogen tvivl om, at Scorpio er en del kraftigere end PlayStation 4 Pro, så er der også spørgsmålet om pris, og her har Microsoft haft kortene tæt ind til kroppen. I et nyt interview bliver Microsofts Albert Penello spurgt om netop prisen sammenlignet med PlayStation 4 Pro, og indikerer Penello at folk vil blive overraskede over prisen.
Journalist: Scorpio obviously will have a more powerful spec, but won't PS4 Pro always be cheaper? Scorpio has a bigger processor, more RAM, potentially a Blu-ray drive - that's can't be cheap. I get the sense it's already being billed as a premium product. Won't you run up against a tough comparison next year when Scorpio is more expensive than PS Pro?
Albert Penello: Well, we haven't announced the price yet, so we'll see.
Journalist: Sure, but the expectation is PS4 Pro will be cheaper than Scorpio, right?
Albert Penello: It will be an interesting discussion next time we chat.
Dog har Microsofts Aaron Greenberg sagt tidligere til Dualshockers under E3, at Scorpio er et "high-end product", og at den vil blive prissat derefter, og denne udtalelse lader til at lægge an til en pris der er højere end den traditionelle for konsoller.
