Well yes, but games back then took less time to make, and were cheaper. Also, Scorpio is a NEW generation, don't be fooled by Microsoft. Just because it will be compatible with Xbox One accessories and games (Like the Wii/Gamecube and Wii/Wii U), doesn't mean it's not.
So you are so happy to expend $400 dollars (or more) every 3 years? There are many people that don't like to throw out money. Remember, phones are subsidized by phone companies, so you don't pay the full price for your phone. Also, very few people actually upgrades their phone every year.
I don't know why Sony and Microsoft are so stubborn to make the gaming industry like the phone industry. I don't think it could even work at all! Games don't take 1 month to make, and trying to change and improve the consoles every few years it's going to be a nightmare for developers. Consoles should still have generations.
Just look at MacOS now. They went for the yearly releases and now we have horrible OS because there is just no time to polish them any...
There are a lot of things wrong on 4.00, too:
They removed the ability to zoom in and out of pictures.
There's no info anymore in pictures' thumbnails about size, date, etc (You have to press options>info)
Removed DLC owned from Game's Info Page
Removed ability to see photos directly from Game Info Page ( You now have to go to the pictures tile)
What's New doesn't work well at all. It doesn't refresh anymore, o...
Why is everyone comparing the PS4 PRO with Scorpio. It's not the same thing! Scorpio is a new generation console!! It's like comparing PS3 with Xbox One. Microsoft is trying to jump start a new generation. Bookmark this comment, because it's the truth!
It's stupid to compare the Xbox One S to the PS4 Pro. The Xbox One S is still the same xbox with added 4K Blu ray. That's it!! The 4K gaming it's just bluff from MS because they wanted to steal Sony's thunder when they realized they were making the NEO. First of all, who is going to upscale Xbox games to 4K? NO ONE! Also, since it's the same exact console than the Xbox One, might as well use the TV's upscaling to 4K. It's the same thing. Microsoft added 4K blu ray,...
Spend all your time playing Halo/Forza/Gears for all the eternity with Nasa-powered Xbox. Microsoft might be doing their strategy to have the most powerful consoles of all time, but what matters the most, ultimately, is the games. Sony has many first party games from all genres PLUS the third party games. Microsoft has max. 5 games and third parties (which this gen at least, are going to PS4, so no SFV, etc).
I just want a good design for the PS4 Neo, because I am very worried after having seen the horrendous PS4 Slim.
People getting disappointed by the NX rumors were expecting a home console, but it seems that Nintendo is actually doing the successor for the 3DS and not the Wii U. But why not? The Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS have been much more successful than Nintendo 64, GameCube and Wii U. It's just logical that Nintendo wants to focus on the handheld market more than they do on home consoles.
It is a disappointment that every time people want to see ...
Well, it's not like they are asking a refund for a game like Uncharted 4 which lasts 8 hours and playing 50 hours would mean you have already finished it and milked it. It's a game that you need to spend hours to even realize the faults of the game. He even says it himself: "I’ll say it again. 50 hours. How long do they need, 5 billion hours? They still wouldn’t have seen it all."
So asking for a refund for a game that you need 5 billion hours! It's no...
Please tell me you are trolling! Please!
How many exclusives does MS have? Also, did you say Sony exclusives end up on PC? Did you mean to type Microsoft's exclusives? Because all of them are being released on PC.
Sony has like 10+ exclusives each year (whether good or bad) while MS only get the usual Halo, Forza, Gears at the end of each year.
I don't have anything agains the Xbox, but let's be honest here. Xbox doesn't have m...
I'm more upset that they changed the controller and added those horrible grey buttons!. The controller looked so nice and very classy, now it looks cheap! If they wanted to make improvements, they could have don't that without messing with the esthetics, but no! Sony is like in a mission to make their consoles as horrible and cheap as they can after the PS3 slim released.
We might never be able to prove it, but I will say this: The PS4 Slim is a controlled leak. I guarantee (somehow).
So Season passes were created so that you could "conveniently" purchase every single DLC at once. Now, there's going to be DLC that will not be part of Season passes? Man, the milking is getting to a point that face palming is just not enough anymore, it's just too low!
The PS4 Neo is not supposed to be a new generation at all. If Microsoft hadn't cut the price so aggressively, there wouldn't even be a Neo. However, I think Microsoft is gambling too much. Scorpio is going to be underused long enough (a year or so, I think) that it's going to give Sony time to make a PS5 much better than Scorpio, and then what? Will Microsoft yet again launch another generation? Microsoft is being stupid, IMO.
I think there are two reasons the PS4 Neo and Xbox Scorpio exist:
1) On the PS4 side:
Sony has been dominating the market with the PS4, so Microsoft started lowering the price of the Xbox One to compete. Sony is not going to be in the same position it was with the PS3 by losing money on every console sold, and the must want to keep the profit margin they have with the PS4. So when Microsoft kept lowering Xbox One price, Sony was forced to make the slim in order to...
Have you noticed that Netflix now appears under GAMES in the PS4 library? That sucks!! Or is it just my PS4?
for one year at most!. Microsoft is making a colossal mistake with the Scorpio. Firstly, it was stupid to announce it so soon, because they HAD to say "We will not abandon Xbox One owners"; secondly, they have never kept that promise, not with the Xbox and not with the 360. Thirdly, the time they need to cater to Xbox One owners and not being able to release full next-gen games, will be enough time for Sony to be happy with the Neo until it's time for an actual PS5. In my opinio...
I said it again and again. Scorpio is Microsoft's next generation console, but PS4 Neo is not a next generation console. They won't compete in power because they are not meant to. It will be interesting to see if games for Scorpio will be downgraded to adapt to the most-selling console which will have less power. It will be until the PS5 and people will be able to compare them both. However, I think PS5 will be, by the time it releases, more powerful than Scorpio. Microsoft is playing...
Because there will be a time when you will no longer be able to play Xbox Scorpio games on your regular Xbox One. Right now this is their PR strategy to hook gamers.
