Well, they made sure it was out in the public domain (it just doesn't exist yet).
It seems obvious it was done to try and steal thunder from Sony's reveal (why else would you release details of something that doesn't exist yet).
They should have pandered to their crowd a little more though, perhaps by releasing the following statement;
" It will have 6tf and a secret second GPU with a DX12 cloud generator and all the ...
That's the smart way to play if you ask me. You can play a game day one at full price, or wait and play it for 1/4 the price.
If the game sucks, you don't get burned, and if it is a hit, the multiplayer should still be well populated.
It just boils down to whether or not you can avoid the urge to have the latest titles.
There's plenty of titles to catch up with in the meantime.
Destroying Facebook sounds fun, and I'd love to check your "inspiration of interests", but $100-$130 is pittance
Your tasteful specific pay sounds great, but both God and your manager are bad-mouthing you behind your back. They say your an irritating little twat.

"6 Reasons To Buy An 'Xbox One S' Instead Of A 'PS4 Pro'"
Number 1; because you are 'special'.
Number 2; you hate amazing graphics
Number 3; you want to become depressed for an acting role you are playing, and buying expensive, irrelevant tech is the fastest way.

I know that the Scorpio will be more powerful than the Pro you silly boy. I also know that it will be at least a year before Scorpio will launch.
I'm not buying a Pro anytime soon, but I am far more impressed with it than I thought I would be. If I had the cash to spare I could well be tempted.
If the Scorpio is that impressive, who knows, I may get one (it would have to be really good though as I don't generally buy Microsoft produ...

They are saying that Scorpio is a "4k console", which it will be (capable of 4k), but some interpret that as meaning all Scorpio games will run in native 4k (which they won't).
It is going to be very much like 1080p/60 on the current machines only switched with Scorpio having the advantage.
Devs will choose how best to use the resources, whether that be native 4k or more details and faster frame rates with lower res...
A PS3 game that still looks better than the vast majority of XBOne games.
It's only last gen because it appeared on old machines, it didn't suddenly become obsolete when inferior software was coded on newer machines.
Microsoft said the XBoxOne was capable of "4k video and gaming" before it launched.
There's no such thing as a "true 4k console" you fool. The console is powerful and capable of playing certain games in "full native 4k" (true 4k).
Scorpio won't play all games in 4k either. It will be exactly the same as the current situation with 1080/60p, possible, but the exception rather than the rule.
How many possible PC hardware combinations are available?
Every piece of PC software is scalable to thousands of possible hardware configurations.
All of a sudden 2 different configurations becomes a problem? Seriously?
@Slate91
If you are a 3rd party dev what incentive do you have to develop for PS4 or XBOne at all?
Sony and MS aren't paying you anything.
The better the game you make, the more copies you sell, that is the incentive.
@Neonridr
"strange that the exec would even bring it up"
Not really, there are thousands of trolls trying to spread as much BS as possible to play down the PS4 Pro release.
I believe that the statement is designed to take ammunition away from you and your kind.
They are probably just countering the endless misinformation being peddled by the other camp.
One less claim for them to make;
"you're going to have to pay extra for the upgraded graphics", won't wash now will it?
Don't be stupid.
Do Nvidia pay devs for the extra work required to get improvements on their newest GPU's?
I wondered how you would attempt to put a negative spin on this. A bit more effort next time please.
@donthate
You are surprised because you are completely clueless. Nobody expects any more from you.
I was primarily a PC gamer for years. I got fed up with the constant fiddling around with everything, compatibility issues and constantly upgrading parts which are outdated a month after release.
I still game on PC, but much prefer the ease of use and ecosystem of console gaming.
You make endless incorrect, highly biased statements about how shit everything Sony does is. We get it!
The Pro is a lot more powerful than the standard console, and according to digital foundry "punches well above its weight", meaning it's even more impressive in the flesh than it should be on paper.
The reveal was not nearly as bad as the X1 reveal, and as it's a mid gen refresh, it wasn't nearly as crucial to get right either.

That's a well considered and interesting reply, thank you.
@Maxor
Read the freaking article genius, it's you that's showing ignorance here.
It depends on the model of Blu-ray (both formats use the exact same beam width etc).
It's only the decoding that is the problem. Theoretically that can be overcome with a firmware update (using Sony's patented solution).
As the drive Sony is using is version 2.2 it is mechanically compatible with 4k Blu-Ray.
If you guys really want to keep the 4k drive exclusive to MS, you should stop banging on about it. The bigger the fuss tha...

"@Doabarrelroll power matters when it is significant and not a extra blade of grass or two "
Well the power differences between the two is 40% (exactly the same), so if your assessment is correct, you are only going to get an extra blade of UHD grass or two.
