Not seein' any cons...
The article claiming "you need Windows 10" and "you need a XBox One" don't seem like actual "cons", to me. I guess the games not being free, or on your iPhone, is a con, too?
Rough times, millennial entitled-boy.
Not getting what? Your illogical, contradictory statements? You just stated that it wads "old" and then claimed it was "withheld". Art does not get old until you experience it, plain and simple. You can't whine about it both ways.
$30 is a bargain, because its a new game on PS4. If you wanted to play it, you either:
(a) bought it already on another system (PC, XB1)
or (b) were waiting for it to come to PS4,
or (c) were waiting for a price drop.
$30 on PS4 satisfies both (b) and (c). It's stupid to believe this is not a good thing, and anyone who is complaining is doing so to troll.
You can't claim that it's not worth it because it's &quo...
Did you know that Sony stopped production of the PS3 last year, and MS stopped production of the 360 this year?
So, if you wanted to play RDR, or frankly any of a couple hundred last gen games, without investing in a gaming PC... you would have to buy an XBox One to do it. You certainly couldn't buy a PS4 to do it. I suppose you could also buy somebody's used junker console on eBay, but then your money wouldn't be well-invested in a console that is moving forw...
I love those free Sony exclusives!
wait...
"id rather worry about the lack of new exclusives on xb1 myself"
Oh yeah, because if there's a generation with new, exciting games, it's this one, and not prior ones! Also, XB1 getting all those "crossplat" Win10 games doesn't count, because we all own a gaming PC and buy Win10 games for it already. Besides, who gives a frap about the other 99% of games released for XB1/PS4, when there are like 1-3 AAA exclusives released each year, and no ...
Isn't RDR a game on PS Now? Besides, hasn't RDR been played by all gamers by now, even the ones who were still in diapers when it came out?
The Sony Method seems fine to me, and I own all consoles, a gaming PC, etc, because I can afford it. BC on PS4. Just requires a few extra $$ each month, is all. Totally worth it, since I played RDR already anyway.

If Vulkan implementations are anything like OpenGL ES, its hardly a standard at all. That's the trouble with an "open" standard.. no one conforms 100%, which actually makes Vulkan development more bothersome than DX12.
...and there it is, folks. The #1 reason Vita died: it's main demographic wasn't old enough to purchase games, or alternately, couldn't purchase games from prison.
Windows 10 cross-buy with Xbox One is still a MS exclusive. Splitting hairs does not send a game to the PS4, folks. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
Exclusivity is to the ecosystem the game is available in, not the hardware it runs on. The PS4 won't have any exclusives when the Neo comes out, if that's the case, and that's stupid.
No one gives a carp about so-called "Xbox One only" exclusivity, when the pull of buying an Xbo...
PS4 already does compete with "PC", since the stock PC target is basically whatever the latest fab ultrabook can put out, and that's still well below the PS4.
This article's title should read "News site wants millions of hits for BS story and title they cooked up"
Lol. The author tries to draw a comparison between Wii U/Wii and Neo/PS4 or Scorpio/XBO.
Let me spell it out for ya, bud: The Wii U was overpriced and underpowered, and was the oddball for 3rd parties (who wants to develop for 1GB of memory, when the competition have 8GB?) -- that's why it failed. The Scorpio and Neo are meant to support VR and 4k gaming, while maintaining BC with XBO and PS4. If you don't see the difference, well... your opinion is irrelevant. ...
Summary: The author spends most of the article complaining that just about every feature of the PS4 is inferior to the XBox One, except for the baseline activity of actually playing games, and then goes on to universally praise the PS4 as being awesome.
That pretty much sums up the past couple years, IMO. The PS4 is great at games. If you want all that other stuff, and aren't a resolution videophile, you should probably get a XBox One.
For me, the ...
I think this rumor is BS. If Neo was arriving this year, then Sony just missed a HUGE opportunity to announce it at E3. They aren't so stupid as to release it silently.
What company would be so dumb as to release a huge upgrade to their popular console, and not announce it's existence, publicly? That way, anyone who would buy it... doesn't know it's out? Not very smart.
Sony isn't that dumb... but this rumor is.
It amazes me, the number of people who believe that MS doesn't win just as big (or bigger) if a consumer buys the Windows 10 version of a game over the XBox One version. In both cases, Sony is most definitely the loser.
If MS didn't have to sell a console (often at a loss) to you, to get money from buying games for you PC... I think they'd prefer that, wouldn't you?
This article is grossly biased towards Sony's platform. "the memory could change before release", to address the bandwidth difference, and "big numbers are good... caveman" to address the TFlops difference.
Changing the memory architecture would require some significant reworking of the console design, and supposedly, dev kits are already out. This isn't going to change. Get real, "trusted reviews".
Journalism is s...
These comments about how the Scorpio will hurt the XBox One S are ridiculous.
The Scorpio will almost unquestionably be an enthusiast console, at enthusiast pricing. 6 TFlops is more than a 980 Ti. The XBox One S will still be priced at $299 -- or maybe $249 by then.
Any enthusiast with the $$ to burn on a Scorpio *already has an XBox One or PS4*, and *doesn't need an XBox One S*.
The PS4K and Scorpio are targetted at people who c...
@nX,
You do realize that the Samsung Galaxy smartphone line, by itself, is neck-and-neck with the entirety of the Apple smartphone ecosystem, right? They both own about 20% of the smartphone market?
Couple that with the Microsoft Surface line chewing up the iPad's marketshare over the past couple years, and Apple has darn good reason to be worried.
Likewise, Sony would be stupid to ignore Microsoft (and Nintendo) as competitors.
Way, way too cheap. I would have paid $80. Maybe $100.
Usually my words have /s, but not this time. I am serious.
