You have so many people that have been using this site for years but haven't learned a thing. The difference between PC and console is optimizing. Just the other day a patch was released for Doom on PC that did wonders for AMD hardware. With consoles every game is optimized as long as the developer makes the effort. That's why you can get more out of consoles than a PC of similar spec.
Also while Microsoft is bringing most of their Xbox games to PC, they aren't ...
To catch a predator. It could work. Pedophiles are not smart.
Dude, why's my picture on the wall? Dude..... Did I win a prize?
He might be using that Moore's Law crystal ball.
But you have to keep in mind that Fury is last generation. Polaris is twice as much power and Vega will be twice as much as Polaris. So if Scorpio really is Vega and Zen then it should have no issue doing 4K/60. Most of the games will be using either Vulkan or DX12. I was skeptical at first. Especially after they said developers could go for more on screen instead of resolution. But if Fury is doing it Vega should be in its element. Even with more on the screen.
One thing that is interesting is a video by Digital Foundry from today. Using Vulkan, a Fury X played Doom in 4K with mostly ultra settings. If Vulkan and DX12 can bring 4K/60 to Fury, Vega shouldn't be an issue. So when Microsoft says Scorpio will be a 4K console they obviously already know a little more about Vega then the public does. Which is easy to believe given their relationship with AMD.
All formats start out slow. There were only a couple of companies that even supported DVD originally. There was very little 720p on TV early on. Technology is build it and they will come, not the consumer asking for it.
All of those other new IPs didn't have huge sales numbers. Sony fans will buy a new IP because its Sony. Microsoft fans act as if they need Sony fans permission to like something. If Sony fanboys hate it Microsoft fans often shun it. The main problem being no matter what Microsoft does Sony fanboys will never give them credit.
Because it's a Microsoft IP. Ten dollars of every game is usually a royalty fee that goes directly to the console manufacturer. So that makes the price of a game really $50. Add that it's a new IP that they apparently like or really dislike, more likely really like, and you use price to get it into as many hands as possible. Think of the way NFL 2K was sold for $20. Had it not been for exclusivity, madden wouldn't be on top anymore because people tried 2K.
2Pack you have a wild imagination. DVD was already extremely popular before the PS2 released. A friend owned a video store and got nonstop request to switch to DVD. It did help by providing a cheap player, but DVD was already huge.
Bluray is popular among a certain demographic. Overall DVD still rules. Bluray was actually passed by streaming some time ago. While many also bought ps3 as a bluray player, bluray can't reach DVD sales numbers. Best bluray sales of all time...

You forget AMD and Microsoft are designing this console. And that they work very closely together. See DX12 and SoC in 360 S. AMD wants to standardize external GPUs. Who better to work with again than their deep pockets buddy on that.
Wow, you guys did a great job finding those lefties. If only you had also figured out there is very little left or right news, just a game of good cop/bad cop being played out for people easily fooled into believing there is actually much free press at all.
Example. Both right and liberal media did nothing but report on Trump for months. Either good or surprise were the only two views. Till the Republicans turned on him. Suddenly both sides of the media turned on him in lo...
If I don't get it for the same price PlayStation got it for I won't be getting it. I'll wait till it comes to GwG.
Even if you played Skyrim you probably didn't do everything in the game. Plus you will have access to the mods. Plus this was the second most requested game for BC. Apparently a lot of people want to play it again.
Why would it. This is truly an attack of a fanboy. I smell a lot of Scorpio fear from the author trying to turn people against Scorpio even before it launches.
Maybe he just doesn't understand how retail works. It retailer gets an allotment of the item. That retailer then assigns a certain number to each store. When the retailer receives an order they subtract it from the number the manufacturer told them they would get. The manufacturer then decides who gets replenished. For someone like Amazon they are given priority because they account for a huge percentage of your sales.
Uh oh.
The article is right. Looking at computers going forward it will be impossible to have another seven or eight year lifecycle. AMD has a notebook APU coming early next year more powerful than PS4. It will have Polaris 11. But Vega also launches and will be in a notebook by 2018. Twice the power in Vega. Also in 2018 Navi launches. Probably twice as powerful and a die shrink.
So by 2019 you will have $400 notebooks with eight to ten teraflops. No one will want Neo or Scorpio...
Companies don't make slim versions for gamers, they make them to save money and increase profits. Slim versions come along when the chips have shrunk or been combined or the design of the unit gets refined.
It also makes them more efficient by having all CPU cores communicate with the GPU to keep the GPU fed constant work. GPUs can have a lot of idle cores because the CPU can't feed it assignments because only one core was talking to the GPU in the past.
AMD ftw!
