Well the games will be made using Xbone and PS4 as the base and PS4P, Scorpio will just be high res version of it.

Not exactly, they can increase the textures, fps, AA, ect. Just like pc games.

Only handful of games will bother with it. The downsampling on 1080P I guess will help in better aa? but at the end of the day we are not getting games built for the console. So it is not much help. Because console are not PC and the game need to be built so that it can be utilized properly. I am sure with PS5 we will see it and that might also help PC. Not PS4P and Scorpio

4 Times more powerful GPU than Xbox One, 3 times more powerful than OG PS4 and 50% more powerful than PS4 Pro is not Next Gen.
50% more memory over Xbox One / PS4 is not next gen
Small CPU upgrade over Xbox One / PS4 is not a next gen

Xbox One's GPU was 5.5x more powerful than 360's GPU (0.240 Tflops to 1.31 Tflops)
PS4's GPU was 8x more powerful than PS3's GPU (0.228 Tflops to 1.84 Tflops)

PS4 and Xbox One had 8gb of RAM while 360 and PS3 had 512 Mb of Ram.

PS4 and Xbox One aimed for 1080p resolution (120% boost from 720p) while Scorpio aims for 4K aka 4 * 1080p (1080p = 2.073 million pixels) and 5.7 * 900p (900p = 1.44 million pixels)                              4K = 8.3 million pixels

Current generation consoles had big enough GPU upgrade to allow higher resolution and boosted visuals with new demanding games engines.

Scorpio is only aiming for current graphics with Higher Resolutions...

It's not a next gen system, no matter what Windows Central or Biased Ori developers think.

People were complaining about PS4 and Xbox One being underpowered while PS4 had 8 times more powerful than PS3

Do you really think a next gen Xbox would only have 4 times stronger GPU than already slower console this generation which is OG Xbox One?

If Scorpio was Next Gen then we would have the most "undererpowered" generation yet, even more than 8th gen.

It's common sense if you read my post.

Thanks for the numbers, but it goes back to more like earlier generations.  Where one new console was 2-3 times more powerful, and that showed and people liked it.

I think, at least for Xbox, traditional generations are over.  They will just be upgrades to the systems, older games will fall in to some legacy models, for a generation back or so.  Just like how current 360 games will run on the Xbox One, Xbox One S and Scorpio.  Microsoft has been really good at backwards compatability for years on PC.

It's all basically PC's now anyway, and why would they want to change to specialized hardware?  I think Gens are basically over for the forceable future.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Tell me a funny joke!

Sooo, does that mean Scorpio won't be called the Xbox One Pro, or something similar, it will be the Xbox Two or something like that instead?
