So this is just my take as a guy whos been buying consoles since the 90s.

The ORIGINAL XBOX was exactly what the XBOX ONE X is. People dont remember that but it was identical in premise... It was a more powerful machine than anything else out by a good margin. People knew this, except those who were totally blinded by the "emotion engine" hype but it didnt help the machine much. You can argue that it made other mistakes which would be true, or that it was a ne...

LOL why would anybody downvote this?

Its also released a full year later for substantially more money, while still playing the same inferior library.

The COMPONENTS are NICE and the machine is well thought out as a way to play current and older games in a higher res and higher frame rate with more detail, and I am sure more new games will keep it in mind and optimize for it, But the whole thing with it being a mid-gen update and generations being generally 5-8 years, and this one coming out a full year after ...

1. Microsoft develops hardware with partners, it doesnt make the CPUs or GPUs or anything else, its just combining them, If it needs to do this to make enough money to assemble a machine then it is a failure.

2.AS far as a BEAST Its a beast compared to years-old consoles yes. Its a beast compared to the 4 year old PS4 and a half step up on its much cheaper mid-gen refresh.

3.Outside of the console market LOL ITS ALREADY beaten out by PCs from a couple y...

It will sell decently even if the review scores WERENT that great. The base game is a very good game and Forza has become another title like Halo or Gears that a large portion of the XBOX fanbase will buy up to have the next itteration. I expect a LARGE Attach rate with this to the new XboneX in November.

The english is extremely broken even in this snippet... not a good sign

LOL @ People disagreeing. If all was equal you'd be exactly right...

Actually the issue is probably that the details are turned down, so though it runs the same resolution something was changed elsewhere and that makes it smoother, where on the PS4 they went for maximum visuals in order to be up to par for a PS4 game.

Thats ok. I really liked GTA5 and its still not in my top 10. So I get what you mean...

GTA 5 is fucking awesome, well made, awesome world they built its just that I played it, finished it and
walked away.

I think the game is AMAZING dont get me wrong, and its not that GTA isnt my thing, I just had more fun with other games.

I have seen people feel both ways about it. What I noticed is that people who BEGIN with forza are used to it and they prefer it, and people who play GT First or play them both one after the other without a console bias (like a friend of mine who never owned a console) they lean toward GT. They are both good games and we're lucky to have a choice in simulations, We are also lucky that GT has been so high quality for so many iterators when it had no real competition at first, just its ...

It doesnt CALL it a "Career" mode and no millions don't buy it because the offline mode is called career mode.

I think its just for people who want to hook it up to a TV quick and easy. Emulating SNES has been possible since the 90s and so anyone with even the lowest end budget PC at this point can hook it up and play for instance every SNES game. I could find a PC on the curb in the trash that could emulate everything up until at least the Playstation era 100%. Though keeping in mind its a legal grey area for many if not most of those games since not owning the game and having the ROM is theft. N...

Could be . People have mentioned SMT being "nintendos" but that isnt true , just a trend since PS2. Its just PS3 that got the short end of the stick on that as consoles sales were down and they moved to portables. PS2 had a ton of SMT games and heck if you want to count Maken X even Dreamcast had one.

It IS fully possible that Switch could get Persona 5: G but time will tell. It will suck for them to get it late and they will probably be forced to massively edi...

... not everybody CAN do that. And just because you can doesnt mean you should not simply pick the console with the most games that appeal to you. You can have money and time and still not want a birdsnest of machines near your TV simply so you can feel diverse and brag on n4g about having "loads of consoles" and then naming 2 and an unreleased unit. DO you have an Xbox one?

All major sites if they are accurate cross sections will have far far more Sony fans. Especially if the site is internationally used and not just most the US. The truth is Reality has a heavy Sony bias.

That price IS negative dude.

Here is a negative: It plays XBOX games. all that power and either MS abandons all its current base, or the scorpio is basically a more powerful PSPRO, and not a full console.

Its just a new console generation that is mostly useful as a backward compatible unit for the last generation. And right now the biggest problem xbox has is exclusives... so what will the scorpio be?
