Microsoft has been spending its run-up to E3 by posting tiny teasers for its soon-to-be revealed Xbox One upgrade, Project Scorpio - and a few of them appear to contain hidden messages.
As spotted by Twitter user XboxInGame (reported by WindowsCentral), two teasers include sets of numbers, letters and symbols. One video includes the phrase "X10S101-317" (or perhaps "X105101-317") (see below) - WindowsCentral's theory is that "X10S"/"X105" may refer to the console model itself, while "101317" could signal a release date - Friday, October 13. There's no other indication that that's necessarily true, but it's compelling.
Slightly less in-depth is the discussion around a second message, hidden beneath a Ferris wheel in another video, "6>4". Microsoft has touted Scorpio's 6 teraflops of power since the console's hazy first reveal last year. The PS4 Pro's power? (Just over) 4 teraflops. A little cheeky, that.

With only a few days to go until Scorpio's full reveal at E3, we'll likely find out if a) that possible release date is correct and, b) if Microsoft will keep taunting Sony very soon.
For now, console yourself with a little tour of the Scorpio dev kit, which we're promised isn't quite representative of the final product.
