It seems as though talk around Xbox's Project Scorpio is beginning to heat up and a couple of different sources around the internet are pointing to an incoming announcement about the console this week. A thread on NeoGAF has collected a few tweets from Jez Corden, the Senior Xbox Editor at Windows Central who says that "Project Scorpio is going to be shown off very soon."
How soon? Try "next week soon."
Here are those tweets:

These tweets are backed up by the infamous industry insider, shinobi602, who reaffirms that a Scorpio announcement is coming "next week" and that the console's hardware "sounds damn impressive." Here's that tweet:

Corden's tweets also fall in line with a recent article he published on Scorpio in which he revealed which games were going to show off the console's power, with Forza Motorsport 7 being the headliner of the reveal. Corden also posts later in the same NeoGAF thread revealing that he has information on both the console and Forza 7, considering this upcoming reveal to be "confirmed."
Here's a screenshot of that post.
It appears we won't have to wait long to see what exactly Project Scorpio is packing under the hood.
