" but at the very least, the comment reaffirms our belief that Scorpio's CPU technology has not moved on in step with its GPU."
Can't wait to read all those articles on how the system is ill-designd with bottlenecks caused by the CPU preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential... just like for the PS4 Pro, right? Or is the gaming media going to change its tune again for Microsoft's system? Nooooo, they wouldn't do that, would they?

This is also where i really started enjoying the series yeah. Kazuma Kiryu actually looks like a real dude in this game, and a cool one too, which wasn't the same in the PS2 games, and doesn't seem to be quite the same anymore in Yakuza 6 either. I don't know, something's changed on his face, he doesn't look like what he is like in Yakuza 3-4-5.
I've got to say that, after seeing Yennefer naked in TW3 I could do with a little more games on the saucy side this gen! :D
I still get the chance to play mine, it's easy, it's called keeping your old system, instead of selling it for next to nothing. Last gen the sale of my good old PS2 Phat got me just enough money to purchase the CE of God of War II. No way I'm falling for it again.
This said, it's true that Microsoft's offer when it comes to BC is more consumer-friendly than Sony's..
And it's also true that we wish Microsoft would commit itself to offering more act...
I can't say I see a whole lot of differences between the PS4 and PS4 Pro versions with sub-par graphics like these. For a PS4-exclusive game, wow, it looks like an up-resd PS2 game, or early PS3 game at most. That's a new low for made in Japan games, which have been bearing the evidence that japanese devs just can't keep up with western devs for quite some time. They really need to spruce things up in the technical department, even if they have great ideas as far as gameplay and ...
"Should The Xbox Scorpio Have Been A Full Fledged Next Generation System?"
-------------------------
It IS a fully-fledged next gen system!
I don't even think this is so much a problem about the system being underpowered as it is a state of mind at Nintendo to be overly confident in their exclusives and incapable of communicating with third-party devs. You could be forgiven for wondering whether they even have ONE guy in charge of third-party relations over there.
I do have a PS4 Pro also, you think it's for that reason some of us got a 10$ coupon? How could they know I have a Pro?
I got one, but didn't see it until a couple days later, and I can't use it now. Dammit, there was that PS4 theme with a Manhattan scenery and cool jazz music playing, and a couple other things I wanted! Is there a place where I could ask SIEA to send me another one?
What the hell is wrong with Forbes? EACH and EVERY time I see a Forbes article on N4G it's trying to find out if there wouldn't be by any chance something negative to say about Sony and the Playstation, I swear, every time! And on a side note, for some reason, whenever I wanna click the link to try and make sense of all that FUD they're constantly spewing, the article is missing... Go figure. Anyone else having the same problem? That said, it's probably better this way, as I&#...
This time I really think this system will flop hard. So hard actually that it may very well be Nintendo's final console. Either that, or it will flop so hard that it will be Nintendo's saving grace that will force them to come up with a "real next-gen" system next time.
For the time being, and with every passing system since after the SNES, I'm glad I jumped ship to board Sony's. Even the occasional Zelda The Wind Waker or Super Mario Sunshine or the Metroid...
It may be starting to shrink, but I still want playback of 4K (2160p) videos, with codecs like HEVC, from an external drive on my PS4 Pro!
I'd like to register to try that, but I'm a bit worried an untested firmware could kill my brand new and shiny PS4 Pro...
This said, if there's any way included in the program to vent my frustration to Sony, I'll take the chance.
What? You mean the Switch is 3-4x more powerful than the PS3??? It can't be! From what I've seen it's not even as powerful as a console that came out 10 years ago. It may be a tad more powerful than an xbox 360 (and even that I somehow doubt it when I take a look at the games revealed), but there's no way the Switch is as powerful as the PS3 was, let alone more.
I've got a japanese friend who told me that right now even in Japan people are mocking Nintendo and saying the design of the Switch looks like a cheap chinese knock-off, and that it will surely fail. Yeah, even in Japan...
I missed the presentation so I'm gonna catch up on it with youtube, but right when it was revealed a couple months ago, I was left unconvinced. The former Nintendo fanboy in me who had an absolute blast with his NES and SNES (far less enjoying the Game Boy) wanted this to be Nintendo's answer to the PS4 Pro (or at least original PS4) and XBOX One S & Scorpio (or at least original XBox one), but alas, it looks like Nintendo is indeed the Rain Man of the industry right now, as in, ...
Dammit, are they really still that bitter after all those years? Or is it just an article about what Ninty said to them back then? I can't see the article.
It's not like the NES Classic is an online console that will receive firmwares to add functionalities in the future, unlike the regular consoles, so yeah, modders can definitely have a field day with it. Nintendo were crazy to think people (who sometimes spent hundreds of €/$ for it) were going to content themselves with only 30 games, omitting Castlevania III, Double Dragon I & III, Snake Rattle 'n Roll, Kickle Cubicle, Rollergames, Bayou Billy, Bart vs the Space Mutants, and man...
The Scorpio IS a complete next-gen console, they're just smart enough not to advertise it as such, as they know darn well the news of them already releasing a new-gen system only 3 years after the previous one wouldn't sit well with gamers and the press in general.
Great, but although I hate to be "that guy who crashed the party", I fear that means Sony may never remedy the problem of no playback of 4K videos on the PS4 Pro, does it not? I have the 1st season of Narcos and 3 seasons of House of Cards in 4K (2160p) waiting for me on my external HDD that I SHOULD be able to watch on my Pro but CAN'T. Is there some website on the internet where we can make suggestions to Sony about what we would like in the next firmware update?

On Amazon in my country they have 1 PS4 Pro at the normal price of 399€... that's been sold out for weeks now, and all the others (well, all 5 or 6 of them) are like 460€ to well over 500€ with shipping costs.
I had an afterthought when I spent 399€ for the system + 20€ for the stand + 45€ for the extension of warranty in early december, but it looks like it was worth it after all. I could've spent that money, and more, on the system alone, now I have a stand to erect it like...
