The timelines are currently a year apart. Expect BC from here on and essentially there is a new console every 3 or 4 years from both Sony and MS. With every other console labeled with a pro, super, S or what have you. Consoles are going the PC route in the short term and all three will go full on subscription in the long term. We will then see all games probably be BC for two generations back. PS4 pro is successful and I'm sure the Scorpio will be as well thus solidifying this new normal....

Time and time again they have said it's true 4K capable but left the pixel counting up to the devs.

Options are never bad unless forced. Then it's no longer an option. If you deem it worth the price and enjoy it, great! If you don't see the value, then great as well. They are just offiering u an option. No more no less.

It doesn't "need" them it would be an icing on the cake type of thing. All they have to do is keep saying what they've been saying all along. That it's still current gen just premium version just like PS4 pro. Same thing. Come out and say that they have worked with 1st, 2nd and third party developers and that every game released will have a "boost" mode. Then all games out whether exclusive or not will look better on Scorpio. End of story. And disclaimer I'...

@Imtayaz, I do actually agree with some of what you said. If proof of an illegal act was taken illegally, and the evidence proves someone guilty then I understand the premise of punishing the individuals for the illegal act. That does not give the person who performed the illegal act a free pass. If you broke the law in order to attain said proof you should still be punished.

That's not true. There was no evidence of American soldiers killing civilians or non combatants for "fun". Soldiers have killed what would go on to be innocent civilians but at the time those individuals were thought to be enemy combatants, plus collateral damage is an unfortunate by product of war. Plus if one soldier goes on a spree and does kill these poor people for fun he should be punished to the full extent of the law. But by publishing that it paints the military as a wh...

Assange, Snowden, PFC Manning. Far from hero's. Two of them should be hung in public square for treason and to make an example of them. Assange needs assasinated point blank. 18 years and still going in the army here. I understand why u feel the way u do but from my perspective they became the enemy of the United States and committed cyber terrorism. They need to make an example out of these guys. Government secrets should not be a slap on the wrist. Should have a penalty so harsh that th...

I already have subscriptions to Sony/MS. Not doing it for an inferior console. Nintendo could have separated themselves by not going subscription and no season passes. Another Wii U anyways.

I'm with unholy above. It's actually been MS and Sonys exclusives that have bored me. I haven't cared about Halo since 2 and the same for Geow. And outside of GOW and GT, Sonys exclusives aren't much better to me either. Uncharted was good too but overrated to me.

Games. That's what our hobby is about. Not salez. All u or me as a gamer should want is for our consoles, whichever u chose, to sell well. That way we get more games. Doesn't matter if it's third party, first party, multi platform or exclusive. If u like games and that game happens to be multi platform, do you like it more or less because another console company has it too? I consider myself a hardcore gamer. Maybe not as much hardcore anymore with my kids taking everything over a...

IMO it doesn't just work. It's not flawless and the game quality needs to be at the level of the PS4 or greater(I kno that doesn't make sense). I found the psvr entertaining but it wasn't a must buy for me. I believe your average joe has watched so many movies and tv shows that they expect vr to be that like an actual alternate universe. I'm not knockin the psvr btw.

3312d ago 1 agree2 disagreeView comment

None of us know the true supply and demand here. We all have our opinions. Mine is that the psvr was doomed to failure the moment its price was announced. At that price point it needed more games than we could possibly play and it had to work and work flawlessly from the beginning. I believe sony wanted the psvr to push the PS4 into the wii atmosphere. But the mainstream and average Joe gamer won't be interested unless it works and works perfect out of the box. That's not on sony btw ...

It's obvious MS has less exclusives but truly how many less when from the eyes of the casual gamer. Sony has great games with; TLOU, uncharted, GOW, GT, MLB the show. Those are the big guns really. Any other games not listed isnt a knock or saying they aren't great games and or niche. Just saying that in the eyes of the avg COD player that's all the frat bros care about. The hardcore players are the minority not the majority.

What is nintendos overhead? And all operating costs? Whats their margins? Same could go for Sony and Xbox(not ms as a whole). There is more to the balance sheet than any dollar amount. I don't think people realize how close to folding all these game divisions are to bankruptcy. Not necessarily anytime soon but literally one or two big hardware fails from any of the big three could bankrupt them. I'm not posting links to prove a point, if u care to disagree google is your friend and w...

Wouldn't be surprising. The world is going to the service/subscription model. Even Cadillac has a subscription service coming soon. It's the future like it or not.

MS themselves said they were done with generations where as sony said they were staying the traditional route

3324d ago 0 agree1 disagreeView comment

im so happy the us vs them mentality will be over soon between ms and sony fanboys. Because once ms releases the scorpio it starts that company on a path where consoles don't have generations anymore. Where as sony will stay true to the traditional console path. In 10 years when sony is at PlayStation 6 or 7, MS will be on Xbox "fill in code name" and for a year or so here and there ms will be the power king and then it'll go back to ps because of the mid cycle upgrades for ...

When the Scorpio releases why should I buy one? Not rhetorical but seeing as how this is just an upgrade I need to see what' it's offering to upgrade. Because why would I spend $399(which I think it'll be) when the next ms console is just 3 years away. I'm legit asking what reasons people have for buying it when we know minimal about it. There's no hype until we have info.

I agree and disagree with the premise. As costs of games rise third party developers have their hands tied and are almost forced to make games multi platform. As an owner of both consoles and every Nintendo except the WiiU it's obvious that both Nintendo and Sony have more exclusives. In the future there will undoubtedly be less 3rd party exclusives, that's the way of this business. Costs of making games go up but the costs of a new game are almost the same as they were when I started...
