As long as it IS NOT PlayStation 5, Give me a powerful, quality home console, I don't want some snap and click together hybrid of a portable device.
I really like Destiny 1, I like that I can just go in there and fool around for a bit or I can go in with the purpose of moving the narrative along. I will most likely get Destiny 2 and enjoy it in the same way.
Scorpio is a machine that doesn't even need to exist, It is a transitional console to nudge Xbox console users back to the PC and paying for Xbox live for games in windows 10 and beyond.MS has a non-existent First party support framework and is once again relying on the third party to carry a future console. This is just another Microsoft shell game where they will promise the world and provide the consumer a lackluster experience. I think the end game is to turn PC gaming into an annual ...
Frankly, the Big difference between Sony and MS is that Sony considers the PlayStation brand as an important major revenue stream, whereas MS considers every division (including XBOX) exists only to sell more copies of Windows. That is why they are Turning Xbox into a service on Windows 10 and up that will play every game that their Future Xbox consoles play, Starting with Scorpio. MS cannot wait till they get you to pay for Xbox live on your PC so you can play Xbox games in Windows on thei...
Hey! that's the face of the first Max Payne!!!
because, It would be a pretty damn disingenuous to release a mid cycle console and then a year later release a next gen console. my understanding is that a MID-cycle console release would be released MID-CYCLE (or, halfway through the Life of the current console generation) of the original. Would you buy a PS4 pro right now if you knew that Sony was releasing it's next gen console within the next 12 to 16 months?
There would be a whole lot of pissed off PS4 Pro owners out there if it did...Including me.
Articles like this are dumb, "This is what an Aunt Jemima bottle of syrup would look like if made by mrs. Butterworth." Talk about an article that has no reason to exist.
really?
...pathetic.
The Switch...meh. The thing looks like it is designed to have hardware issues with all it's snap, slide and click together requirements. I'll give the Switch less that a year before it becomes riddled with HW failures in its connections.
@holdmyown83, Yes, "White Privilege" The "GO To" excuse for when things don't go your way.
Don't have to try to excel in life if you feel that there are people in the shadows actively undermining you.
The beauty of the gaming industry is that it still works under the rules of the free market, If the gaming industry wasn't able to sustain itself, by the rules of a free market it will either have to adjust itself to create sustainability or collapse, Seeing that The gaming industry makes more profit annually than the music and Movie Industries combined, I think that there is nothing for anybody to worry about.
As for Developers and Publishers whining and complaining that games...
GOOD...GOOD.... :)

"Horizon Zero Dawn, which was labeled as a misappropriation of Native American culture."
Yeah....don't care. Everything is a derivative of something else, The scale of stupidity and searching for something to be offended by has really reached dizzying heights.
What is comes down to is that there are going to have to be some more freedoms granted to the consumer before digital games become worth it in my opinion.
"Would you consider a disc-free console option?"
No, Never... Unless all games including AAA were under 20.00. That is the Price that THEY would have to pay for that luxury.
Sony (if they were morons): The PS4 is an unbelievable success! it literally saved the company, You know what? Lets not make another console after this one. why would we want to cater to a large consumer demand in an industry where we dominate?
Just because Microsoft is a FAILURE doesn't mean Sony is going to follow them into Console oblivion.
Enjoy the Scorpio when it comes out, because after it, you will have to play Xbox games on a Win10 or better PC, This is MS Middle finger to Sony as it's nearing the release of it's last console. It's sad because Sony will no longer have to worry about competition and can get fat and lazy. Here's hoping that someone else comes along and takes MS place....
That's a bad idea, Nintendo, can play around with that "bound to break" hybrid nightmare, They have a loyal base of glassy-eyed drooling fans to throw money at them no matter what harebrained failure they release.
Give me a nice, solid powerful home console with a wide range of different kinds of games I'll be happy. I don't need every character to be Mario or Link in my games.
