And, Sony's PlayStation VR is the first console equipment to feature such an intuitive approach. But, Microsoft isn't worried at it believes its Xbox One Scorpio to offer the very best of VR experience with true 4K resolution.

The recently revealed PS4 Pro or Neo showed the audience its '4K' resolution in a few game demos. But, the audience was not fully convinced or impressed. For anyone who viewed the 1080p and 4K resolution side-by-side, there was spotting of minute differences. Microsoft wasn't impressed either but they will not make it a public announcement to question their rivals. But, Microsoft's upcoming Xbox Scorpio One is what the fans are eagerly waiting for as it will directly compete with Sony's PS4 Pro.

Microsoft's Xbox One 'Scorpio' To Offer True 4K And Hi-definition VR

As of now, most of you might be familiar with the upcoming specs on the Xbox One "Project Scorpio." But, there is much more than that. Microsoft comes in with a direct statement about the power its upcoming console might possess.

"The first and only console to enable true 4K gaming and hi-fidelity VR," wrote Microsoft.

4K on the PS console is still not available for all the latest games and this disappoints several fans. Sony does commit to improve on the user experience for all its new-generation games in the upcoming future. But, no updates on its whereabouts are out yet.

Sony's PS VR is not a bad option for cost-effective VR experience for console systems. But, it still is not as brilliant as the premium VR headgear like Vive or the Oculus Rift. But, Microsoft claims that its upcoming console system will be the first and only console to offer true gaming experience for VR and high-resolution gaming.

Further updates at an E3 2016 conference say that Microsoft will reveal "Fallout 4 VR" for the Xbox One "Scorpio." But, there are no rumors of an official headset by the company and the most relevant headgear opted for the console could be the HTC Vive. Microsoft could also collaborate with the Rift for this project in the future. But, no updates are yet to be seen on that.

Anyhow, Microsoft is ready to reveal "Project Scorpio" in the holiday season, 2017. This will let us know further updates on the upcoming console and its features through various events next year. Nintendo Switch did not come with a VR experience, and this gap could be the key point to Microsoft's success in the VR gaming platform.
