Xbox’s head honcho, Phil Spencer, has posted an update on Twitter regarding Project Scorpio. In this tweet, he mentions that he has had a chance to play several games on an early unit. He definitely comes away pretty excited about it all as well.

Looks like he’s not the only one excited either. Several fans of Xbox and the upcoming Scorpio were eager to chime in with Phil Spencer regarding the update. I’m pretty excited as well, just so we’re being honest here.
@Crypt_Concepts I don't think we've had bring up of full games this early for new hw, gives teams time to tune their games for best results.

This is definitely a good sign and one that signifies that the hardware is finalized. I’d still love to know if this is indeed using AMD’s Ryzen & Polaris chipsets. Lastly, if Phil has had a chance to check it out and it’s this far along, perhaps we’ll see the Scorpio at E3 2017 this year?
One can only hope so.
