@Butchertroll, I am a regular Neogaf member so I know what I am talking about.

The new Xbone S console also includes a UHD BD-ROM player, with a bill of materials (BOM) cost of $33.50, versus the previous $18 conventional Blu-Ray drive.

33.50 - 18 = $15.50.

Since Sony, like I said, is a manufacturer and holds several patents for the UHD bluray, they will indeed also get it cheaper than $15.50. Like around my e...

The HDR on the PS4 also requires an expensive 4K TV that is HDR ready. Not many people that are on the old PS4 model have such a TV to even take advantage of it. It is really a pointless update. The fact that Sony didn't include a cheap $13 extra (probably cost Sony less since they are one of the producers of UHD bluray) on their new revised PS4 Slim and their 4K premium PS4 Pro consoles is really a disservice to people that have a 4K TV or is buying one soon. T...

@whitesoxfalife1976

I read it wrongly. Thanks! I thought he said UHD drive is 13$. Anyway, UHD isn't cheap.

UHD drive isn't cheap, you know.

By that definition, the PS4 Pro isn't your average consumer, then, because its hook is supposed to be 4K gaming and movie playback.

Sony revealed PS4 Pro as a GAMING console FIRST AND FOREMOST, not as a entertainment system.

Blu-ray sales are still only 30% of home video sales after 10 years on the market. Total home video sales have gone down I think 15% each year the last few years. UHD disks will...

How some people are so dumb? PS4 Pro didn't had debut at E3 because it wasn't ready yet, not because Scorpio was there. Why Sony had their own event a week ago instead, hm? And also, without a shame they gave as clear specs and features and games even if Scorpio is announced at E3.

This article is pure shit.

500 Mhz upclock more. Yeah, won't do much. 23% more RAM bandwidth, won't do much? How do you know?

No wonder why you have bunch of disagree votes in this thread. You desperately want all PS devices to fail. LOL

So you are telling us GPU is the only power a console has? There won't be the same ol chipsets like in the PS4 pro. Why invest into a VR system now that hasn't even 1 good game coming and is the known worst one in the business at the higher Tier. Why invest into a console that only ups GPU power? Why buy a new console after 3 years? Why Release 2 new Consoles 2 months apart? Doesn't that kill its own business?

You could just enjoy you...

The Scorpio will sell fine. There's no need for me to buy a PS4 Pro because my PS4 is good enough. Sony will have a tough time selling the PS4 slim, PS4 Pro, and PSVR all at the same time.

This post will be bookmarked. Well see things during this holiday. Anyway, Scorpio won't be cheap.

Would you buy a Scorpio at 699$ at least if Scorpio comes out this fall, hm?

Lol! PS4 is not a next-gen. In terms of power Scorpio is compared to Xbone and PS4. PS4 Pro is still based on Jaguar, but Scorpio will be another thing.

Xbone S didn't break 300k in August, maybe not even 250k. X360 Slim at launch did over 400k .

SLIGHTLY? Yeah.

Of course Xbone fan will say that.

I thought games matters, MS, not UHD drive which is secondary feature for GAME console. Sorry, all in one entertaiment system.

Go home, MS

UHD drive isn' cheap. BOM is 30$.

Sony kept PS4 Pro at 399$, which is a good decision.

I think the backlash would be worse if they bumped the price by $50 and with UHD included.

As expected. PS4 Pro is with those specs is not so powerful to push Horizon at native 4k with that kind of graphics. Guys, Titan X, which is 11 TF GPU, isn't strong enough to push ROTR at 4k and stable 60 fps at max. settings.

Some people didn't listen what Cerny said about 4k on PS4 Pro at the stage. So sad.

3560d ago 8 agree2 disagreeView comment

Majority of people doesn't have 4K TV's. I don't. So, i don't care about 4K.

Anyway, Sony likely saved about $15 by not including a UHD drive in PS4 Pro.

As a consumer, you don't give a shit about how some company will have a loss at 399, but it's important for them to be cheaper as possible and not to b...
