So you've been left in the dust graphically the entire gen. Now that the x is coming out soon and we are discovering that the majority of games will look damn near identical on the pro, your only defense is "Well ms never claimed they would be all 4k" and "give it another year."
Why the fuck are you defending this? By the time Microsoft and devs finally get acquainted with the x, Sony will have released dozens of games tha...
I'm not going to sugarcoat this, but if you think the earth is flat then you're a moron. Simple is that.
Omg xbox fans are so funny. "Wahhh we want bc and crossplay wahhhh Sony is mean."
Like do people really think that Sony wants to boost MS live and Azure numbers? MS is desperate to bring people to their ecosystem, of course they are going to beg Sony for crossolay. The stipulations that MS are asking of Sony are just ridiculous.
@skullkid
1) Not way more powerful, around 30%. Will also run games with checkerboard resolution and will look and feel nearly identical to PS Pro. Sorry
2)I spit out my coffee when I read that. PS has dozens more of higher rated exclusives and continues to slaughter Xbox. I'm sorry you're left with only crackdown and sea of thieves...I'd be jealous too.
3) Pure nonsensical opinion. You're in the minority as well, many prefer the less cluttered and e...
So many puny minds trying to defend this. The point is MS lied to yet again. The "Chinese 4k" you Xbox fans been bashing for months is now the same dish you're going to get. And your only defense is "still more powerful than the pro." Lol who cares when the games will look the same.
@pissyatdawn
My loss? Haha I've heard it all now kids. Who needs new exclusive games when you can have old games that play as a slighty higher resolution? Poor choice? When parity starts to sink in for you fanat-x later this year and you realize that checkerboard and 4k look identical I'm going to come back to this. I'll take my exclusive content on multiplats AND my dozens of exclusive AAA's. Only a fanboy would take resolution vs games. Sad
And switch to an overpriced console missing dozens of AAA exclusives? No thanks bruh
And miss out on the countless exclusives on PS? Why?
You forgot to add he part where MS refused to listen to the cries of gamers but only changed when they started struggling with sales. Seems like you think MS changed out of the goodness of their hearts. History shows another story, as they resisted change, only until they got outsold by the millions.

I'm so sick of all this controversy about backwards compatibility. Jesus Christ people, why is this even a discussion? BC has been done before and has never been a major feature. It's a nice little thing to have but, for fuck's sake, it shouldn't be something to brag about. It's like having a Ferrari and bragging about the heated seats. Yeah, cool, you can play old games that you probably already sold along with the console you traded in to get your new one. I just find it...
Boy, you and videogamelab are a little clueless
You honestly think that the entire game will be about Kratos and his son walking in the woods? It was ONE segment of the game, most likely a flashback or the beginning set piece of the game.
If they show gameplay of Death Standing, I'll be beyond ecstatic. Another trailer would be okay but this game has me so intrigued. Spiderman gameplay demo, story trailer for days gone, proper trailer for TLOU2, and so much more. Not counting all the new announcements. I hope Sony can fit everything in their conference!😍
$500 dollars for a system that plays slightly better, if not the same, quality multiplats? It was different in the beginning of the gen when PS had the power advantage because it was a deciding factor between the two and the PS was cheaper. Now, MS is asking people to pony up ANOTHER $500 for a small graphics update. It's definitely catering to an extremely small niche market.
If they actually announce a bunch of new IP's at E3, then I might take them seriously.
@ghost
The thurts, I suppose.
It's quite funny how much stock the xbox fanboys are putting in the scorpio. As if by some miracle, all the developers in the world are going to suddenly start making games for Scorpio because of a small, mid generation leap in hardware. I'm sorry to burst your bubbles, but the PS will have more higher rated exclusives in one year, than xbox will have through the end of the generation. Please take the fanboy goggles off kids, it's not healthy.
Microsoft has a long history of abandoning game support mid generation and failing to create new and interesting ips.
Is that still too rocket science for you to grasp?
@acconellan
Here's a thought....MAKE SOME NEW GAMES!!!
Why is this so hard to grasp for Microsoft and its fans. Sony doesn't excel for reasons related to system power or features or backwards compatibility or "cloud" etc.. It has been as always will be about games quality and variety. MS, with their deep pockets, could be wiping the floor with Sony if they just invested in some game studios to make a stellar lineup for their games. MS ne...
You're holding out for E3? That seems to be the go to mantra for Xbox fans. Do people assume they have loads of unannounced exclusives from unannounced developers? Are these developers going to suddenly announce and release these mystery games this year? I hate to burst people's bubble, but when has MS had an exclusive blowout? Get your expectations in check.
@armchair dev
Actually, the x1x DOES do checkerboard rendering. Sorry to burst your bubble, but multiple games are going to be using checkerboard rendering, just like the pro.
