@TheCell
Take the blinders off for a sllit sec and try to make some logical cal sense for a minute
Project Scorpio will have games in native 4K/60 at launch. Microsoft already has games with 4K/60 assets. 2yrs will not be needed.
Also if Sony drops a PS5 in 2yrs it wont matter. PS4PRO games look pretty good now, Microsoft is "claiming" that Project Scorpio games will look that much better when it launches. If most of Projec...
@krenk12
Sony makes great hardware... i can't knock that...
but at the same time, sony has some of the WORST software engineers working on the box (not games)..
it always comes back to bite them in some capacity (mods, no PSN ID change)
Edit: I will always bet on the better software company that learns better hardware as they go over the superior hardware company who's tryin to learn software as they go...

nintendo sells a TON of zelda and mario titles on 3ds and also 'attachments for other tablets don't got the budget that ninty has for their hardware... rather you like nintendo games or not, their hardware is TOP NOTCH and works as advertised.
MS doesnt have to show us anything Scorpio related because we said so...
they show it when they are good and ready...
