Earlier this week we brought you the rumor that Xbox Scarlett was once again (or perhaps always was) going to be split into two SKUs -- a powerful, top-of-the-line system (codenamed Anaconda) and a more mainstream option (codenamed Lockhart). Well, the originator of that report, Jason Schreier, recently provided a bit more information about Lockhart on the latest episode of Kotaku’s Splitscreen podcast. According to Schreier, Scarlett developers aren’t exactly thrilled with Lockhart, which is said to have “significantly” less RAM than the less-powerful Anaconda model…

I've heard some skepticism from third-party developers, who are, like, "Hey, it's a pain in the ass to ship on multiple hardware SKUs. Second of all, this is going to hamper us, because Microsoft is requiring us to ship on this lower-powered version, that has the equivalent graphical power of a PS4 Pro." It's worth noting, that is has a higher-end CPU and a solid-state drive, and other next-gen features, so it's not safe to compare it directly to the PS4 Pro.
