Microsoft to Release Project Scorpio Edition Xbox?

Despite ditching the wonderful Project Scorpio codename in favour of Xbox One X, Microsoft could use the moniker to brand a special edition version of the forthcoming console. When the Xbox One X launches in November, it will also release a Day One edition. In fact, this special console will be branded with the Project Scorpio logo, according to reports.
