"The Scorpio is going to be an excellent machine, and it will definitely be the most sophisticated console on the market when it releases later this year- but those expecting it to turn the tide for the Xbox One against the PS4 may be setting themselves for disappointment."
It's sad that gamingbolt has to be the one to bring those hyping up Scorpio back to reality of how the industry is.
Scorpio will be an excellent gaming machine, and I...
The only people who would be upset with that are the 23+ million Xbox users who are still on the phat version of the Xbox One. All of them playing the majority of games at 720p to 900p.
I feel like some of you all live in this fantasy world where the Xbox One S was launched and all those 23 million users had their Xbox One transform into an Xbox One S. The Scorpio will be another update (as it should be), but will be a small...small...small percentage of the Xbox community...
What are you even talking about?
I think what's more unfortunate, and a shame, is that people will continue to play most of Xbox's games at 900-720p.
Scorpio, its price and the price of 4k tvs will definitely be a barrier for many.
They're probably on all windows devices. Most of their games and indies in general are on PC as well.
And adding "and/or PC" would undermine that last sentence "and will play better on Project Scorpio".
Careful now...99% of the Xbox fans will be playing it at a nice blurry 720p. Possibly even yourself lol
That's freaking crazy! Man the PlayStation community continues to grow, meaning more and better games!
Can't imagine paying ANOTHER $500 for a console that will not have as much support long term. Unfortunately many fanboys can only see what's in front of them like a dangling carrot:
"Scorpio is a BEAST and will take the crown back for MS!"
*Totally forgetting that they've been waiting since last June (10 months) and sti...
Too funny lol they've been ok with it for the last few years. And they'll have to be ok with it when Sony takes it back again in about 2 yrs. 😊
If you want the best place to play multiplats and exclusives, Sony is currently and will remain that place for a long time! No denying that.
I thought I was the only one annoyed by this. My buddy didn't even notice since he goes to siege directly anytime he plays. But it bugged the hell out of me when trying to switch games.
Lmao! I'm trying too hard?
Do you not read the comments?😂 You take this stuff way too seriously man. You all are too easy to fluster with such simple comments.
On a serious note, it's hypocritical to hear all this talk about the "BEAST" coming when you haven't cared for resolution or anything this gen.
I respectfully disagree. DX12 will offer minimal improvement in that aspect of development.
As I said, with MS' track record (and the way they've been touting Scorpio) I can see them launching Scorpio exclusives within a year of its launch.
No kidding. Zelda is by far one of the most amazing games this gen. And if anything Nintendo has more exclusives coming this this year than MS has launched the last two.
Seriously hypocritical on every level.
"Crackdown, forza and sea of thieves all most likely this year. But keep saying they have no exclusives."
If I had an Xbox for every time I heard that the past 3 years, MS would actually be close to catching up with the PS4. 😂
The elite controller is anything but premium. It's had reliability issues since about 4 months after it launched. No way you can spin that.
It's a small market that wants the best graphics. People bought the PS4 by the millions because of games. Graphics were just icing on the cake.
MS is about to leave 20+ million Xbox gamers playing games at 900p and 720p with their phat Xbox Ones. They're basically going to leave them in the rear view mirror, and that's pathetic.
Heck even the original PS4, all 35+ million of them, get HDR upgrades at literally no cost. In comparison to those who paid for such an upgrade.
With MS' track record, I guarantee that we'll see Scorpio exclusive games within a year of its launch.
Until it gets here (8 months away) MS will continually be eclipsed by Sony and Nintendo in their current state.
I'm glad to see that power matters again to you Septic. You've been singing a different tune for a long time. Because currently the world most powerful console ever made, has had spectacular games launching every month!
So glad Sony focused on first party last gen instead of catering only to the dude-bro community.
Pfft...the TRUE BEAST is coming with PS5!
Scorpio is a death sentence to any consumer who actually want support for this expensive console, beyond the yearly shovelware that studios having been putting out.
I can already hear you praising Call of Duty this year just because Scorpio is coming out 😂
More room for them to milk DX12 for half a year to hype up nothing.
$599?
Starting price for base model was $499. Offered a ton and was the cheapest bluray player on the market. Don't regret it one bit.
