Last week Microsoft released a whole load of specs for their Project Scorpio, and Xbox marketing head Albert Penello has spoken on Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb's podcast about the console, outlining the plans moving forward.

"Over the coming months and obviously leading up to launch, we'll have more news. More games, of course, that's gonna be the theme of E3," he said (thanks, GamingBolt). "That's gonna be the big thing, games, games, games. Look, I get it, I hear the feedback, I want everybody to know, games. It's coming, that's... today was about the specs, today we told you what the box does, you're gonna see games, we know."

Penello also eased fears that game quality might decrease with a split focus between the Xbox One and Scorpio, saying: "Yeah, I think- I think one of the things I'll just sort of tease is, like, I think one of the things that people wonder about this transition to these... to the two console model is 'am I gonna get two slightly less versions of the game than I would have gotten in the old model where I can just work on one, um, one platform for 10 years?' We have put as much care and craftsmanship and effort and energy into the process for developers as we've put into the product for customers. That's a story that- that will... that I'm excited to, you know, to be able to tell at some point. That means better... it means better games, because the developers are spending time on the content and the quality and not spending time making things work."

Do you agree that games are now the priority for Microsoft in regards to the Scorpio?
