What would make you buy a Scorpio at launch?

Yep fair enough I agree with you there but I guess what I'm trying to say is that when PS5 eventually comes out, that is the next generation commences it won't be too much stronger than a scorpio IMO

By the time Playstation 5 launches, GDDR5/GDDR5X, Polaris, Vega, Zen... Will all be old news and will all be replaced by something better, faster, more efficient.

If you want a glimpse of "next gen" take a look at nVidia's GV100 core. It's nuts. You could be looking at upwards of 10x the capabilities of Scorpio if not more at 4k. It's a real powerhouse at 21.1 Billion transistors and an 815mm2 die size on a 12nm node (Likely 14nm FEOL or BEOL. Haven't checked.)

I'll check it out.

You surely don't expect anything of that power in a console in 2-3 years though?
