@Moldybread: I never read your post... only Colonel179's post.
@Colonel179 due you know how much time will be in between hardware requirements?
You don't honestly think, Project Scorpio makes Xbox One obsolete over night?
Xbox One will continue to get games for at least the next 4-6years. Which will be 8-10years total during Project Scorpio launch and so forth
Then Project Scorpio will become the regular Xbox...
@colonel179
at rather it's considered "this gen" or "next gen" doesn't matter.
if nobody loses anything and gains everything, that's all that matters.
if project scorpio is this gen or next gen... what's the difference when everything still just works?
@Stuna1 "MS doesn't have spec finalized" ....
lol... they do have spec.. phil spencer made that clear... he decided to wait on mass production of a new SoC.
Casual gamers are usually "majority" and the majority are NOT going to go under the hood and change out any parts.
Sony/Microsoft would then have to probably team up with Game Stop or a Best Buy (as well as Sony Stores, and Microsoft Stores), pay for training, pay for store space etc... this isn't free so now there additional cost to staff, etc...
Hypothetical: Mommy tells little Timmy that's she'll upgrade the GPU in the PS5 , all...
Project Scorpio is at least 4yrs out from the Xbox One.
The OG Xbox to the 360 was also 4yrs Out.
Most console cycles were usually 4-6yrs apart.
the 360/PS3 generation going 8+ yrs was never the norm...
Going from the Wii to the Wii U, Nintendo actually stuck to the "Normal" hardware cycle change.
"Xbox's response to the announcement last week was interesting, certain execs took to social media to "fire shots" at the two consoles, and they put out a press release about the relative capabilities of the Xbox One S and the Slim and the Pro. What did you make of their response?
"I thought it was quite intriguing given that we'd seen a year of stories about "a new and different Microsoft" in terms of their attitude towards the competi...
"4K Gaming" is quite a loose and nebulous term that's quite open to interpretation. Are we going to see native 4K gaming on the PS4 Pro or will the majority of it be upscaled?
I would say the majority will be upscaled – at least based on the game portfolio I have seen to date."
"And from what Sony boss Andrew House has said, Xbox definitely isn't playing nice anymore – the competition is very much back on."
There were a lot of questions going in regarding the PS4 Pro and just how much of a performance boost the system would provide for some games. Well, it turns out that not every game will perform better on the PS4.
Gamespot is reporting that following the unveiling of the PS4 Pro last week they managed to get in some questions with the developers about whether or not the games would run at higher frame-rates on the PS4 Pro. One such game is Mass Effect: Andromeda, which was one of the...
@Angeljuice and @Silly
$$$ makes those Punches sting way less. What Sony knocked out Sega will never happen to Microsoft
Minecraft is a hit... not worth $5billion alone for one game. This alone should be signal that MS wont bow out so easily.
R&D for PS4Pro probably cost Sony close to a billion$$ if not more. MS spent more on that, for one game..
One S and Project Scorpio (and Minecraft Purchase) have let me know that in...
if you were sony and I were MS, I would never be insecure...
why? because i can keep fighting longer than you can.
i can go on a wild spending spree and marry xbox and pc ... oh yea... that's actually happening now...
the the 40million ps4's sold to the 20million xbox's sold should instill fear into the leader... because MS isn't flinching... in fact it seems to have woken them up...
or they just so...
@iTechHeads is at it again...
hear's one thing you should have been paying attention to by now.
Elite Wireless Controller, Phil Spencer saying he doesn't believe in "stop gap" upgrades in hard, One S, and now Project Scorpio.
All of these alone equals $$$. MS is opening up the check book and decided to go on a spending spree.
@NewMonday... You think that Scorpio is because of Neo... LOL... that they just sla...
Awwwww...
look at iTechHeads getting emotional about video games...
that distinct 2nd place company can buy the leading company though and not flinch on it.
Its ok for Sony to poke at MS but not the other way around...
😂😂
now everyone has fiber internet...
now everyone wants to be connected...
it was a fuss 3yrs ago... what changed so drastically since then...
Now that I think about it...
This can be potentially worse than just Fallout and Skyrim.
What if other game developer(s) make awesome games with Mod support for consoles, PS versions will be perceived as "The crippled version"
@iTechHeads
thats right us gamers dont want developers supporting their games and giving them added value. No we dont want that.
We dont want to be able to take a game and play it, and when done run a mod for it feel completely fresh and new.
Naw us gamers dont want that
u make no sense...
who wants a game that the developer is tryin to give more value to, so that it always feels fresh..
who want's that... ???
I would love to play a game, and then download a mod and make it feel like a completely new game..
but nobody wants that right.../s
thanks for the heads up...
so that means people who were looking to trade in the current PS4 have to hold on to them to transfer data...
sony just enable external drive support, to make this as pain free as possible...
Andrew House just insulted every PlayStation owners intelligence, and just about all ya'll blinded loyalists just agree with his comments.
Y'all may want to actually read the interview...
