The wisdom of the 6Tf vs 4Tf

But these features the X has over the Pro arent something you cant fundamentally fix. Downsampling is something they can update for the Pro, 4K blue ray playback they can update or release it with a PS4 Pro revision in the future. The Pro was never supposed to be a 4K machine, otherwise they would have called it the PS4K.

You also forget that the Pro came out one year earlier, so its not only about money. I dont think it was the better execution to let customers wait another year of better PS4 and PS4 Pro multiplats for something the X wouldnt accomplish in the first place. The Xbox One was always 500$, it would have been stronger than the Pro even a year earlier, and Sony wouldnt have made the Pro to be 500$ hardware.

Too bad the developers are lazy... Yea the devs can patch it in themselves except they don't. Just cause they can doesn't mean they will which is proven by the year lead the Ps4 Pro has. The devs had an entire year to patch their games with it yet they didn't. Only a few games on the pro really have Down Sampling when it comes to 1080p where as every game that has a higher resolution than 1080 on the X1X has Down Sampling and AF. And if it's not supposed to be a 4k machine, then maybe they shouldn't advertise it as that... Yet they do...

If it meant to the pro would have what the x1x has now, then I would consider it to be worth the wait. The Ps4 Pro leaves it all to the developers which is its problem. Some games you have all the features like a Down Sampling at 1080p with increased visual affects while having an option of performance mode or 4k mode while in many others, it's just basic 1440p checkerboard to 4k and that's that. With the x1x, there is more of a guarantee of what the buyers will get cause every game that has a 4k mode will also have down sampling and AF at 1080p. Yea it costs $500 but oh well... If I am gonna spend money on a mid-cycle refresh, I would want the best experience there is. If I can't afford it, well there's always the base console. The only reason I don't own a x1x is cause of the games but if the games were the same and weren't available on PC, I'd choose it over the pro any day of the week even if it costs more.

Thats not what i meant, Sony can update the PS4 Pro to have down sampling with every game. Most games do downsample, its like only 20 games who dont so you are wrong in this one.

Some better supersanpling and AF doesnt justify spending 500$, the X has the same problems the Pro is facing in the end of the day, the simple fact that developers refuse to give different options that could benefit 1080p users like better graphics in 1080p, along performance and resolution modes. The better AF on the Xbox One X is also only effecting games who arent optimized for the X.

500$ is a lot of money for a mid gen refresh as the word mid-gen refresh is telling you why this is, thats how much money you would pay if a new console like the PS5 or the next Xbox would come out, a real upgrade.

Yeah you would spend that money, but why should i get the Xbox One X now if already have a PS4 Pro? Because you know it came out one year earlier? And this supersampling and AF for every game is that worth to get an Xbox One X now over the Pro or what is worth the wait? I dont think so.
