If you hadn't heard, the Xbox Scorpio specs were revealed yesterday (which we reported), and Microsoft's corporate vice president of the Xbox and Windows gaming platform Mika Ybarra has shed some light on Microsoft's strategy going into this new console.

"The team looked back at developers and the developer relationship we have," he explained. "With Xbox 360 we had the absolute best platform for developers, [with the Xbox One] we sort of lost that in a two-year time-frame, so we said 'how do we win the mind-share of those developers back?'"

"We want the best games running on our box and there are tools, devkits and some arrows like that to win the developers back. So that was a big priority for us as we approached this product."

Can Scorpio turn this relationship around?
