I have no idea Jasper.
It's an industry wide thing right now, we're being overwhelmed with female/diverse characters but the userbase is predominately male.
The comic industry has suffered from similar delusions that making it appear diverse would make it more appealing to women, but they found out they just upset and alienated their current userbase and the women didn't turn up.
Nintendo is a chic friendly console too, which is why the stats are very interesting but not all that surprising.
BACK TO EXCITING SCORPIO NEWS!!!!!
I got hands on with a project scorpio console today, I was at the MS Sydney Store(Hey does nintendo have one of these here yet?) and they had a project scorpio unit with what looked like a developer firmware and Forza 7 gamescom build.
Forza 7 to my eyes looked pretty much like PC version running on 4k ultra, it even had the mirrors running 60fps which is nice to see on console. But replays and menus are still 30fps, you can push these to 60fps on PC but it pretty much maxes out a GTX1080, AA on the scorpio version also looks a notch down from the ultra preset on PC.
The system was pushing a decent amount of warm air out the back, it sounded quiet though and the vapor phase change cooling seems to be doing a good job. You could FEEL the POWER!
Wasn't a fan of the Scorpio gradient, I think the regular black edition looks the best. System is very sleek and has a nice high end feel to it. Controller was pretty much the current updated one controllers.
I asked around about a game bundled in, they all pretty much said units are moving without any problems, no bundling with first batches. MS seems confident they'll move lots of units.
If you're in the Sydney CBD, check it out.
