Didn't we already have a thread about this a few weeks/months ago? Or was it about whether or not the Switch was next gen?

Anyways, I don't think gens still exist. The quality of the consoles doesn't improve as much anymore as it used to.

If it makes this site load in less than 5 minutes I would consider it next gen.

Its more than halfways to the next gen.... I dont think next gen (playstation 5) will be more than 10 teraflops

Power does not define generations. It's an upgrade to an existing console with an existing library.

Turbo-Duo was not a next gen system. It was a mass upgrade. PS2 slim models with a faster CPU is just a upgrade.
Sega Wonder Mega was not a next gen system but a upgrade. Game Boy Color was a upgrade. Same with GBA SP to GBA. Same with DS light to DS or DSi to DSL. New 3DS to 3DS. PSP 2000 as to PSP. All just upgrades.

Not next gen just a mid-gen refresh that corrected problems with current systems. Clearly, the goal here was to make a developer friendly system. I'm excited about this system and will definitely be picking it up.
I picked up a PS4Pro when it dropped because I wanted a better experience and it delivers that in spades compared to the OG PS4. Scorpio is going to offer a better experience than the OG Xbox 1 or the S is capable of.

In my opinion:
Does it get games (outside VR) which can't be played on the original XB1 and XB1s? Then the answer is yes.
Does it only play the same games (outside VR) as the XB1 and XB1s but with better graphics and framerates? Then the answer is no.
I don't care if it's 6TF, 12TF or 100TF, if a console just plays the same games as it's predecessor but with better graphics and better framerates I will never consider it a next-gen console. Scorpio = more powerful XB1 + VR.

Based on the info and specs we have so far I would say no, not next gen. A really great attempt at a mid gen upgrade though.

Yeah same way the PS4 Pro and Switch are :^)

The performance equals a slow PC with a bad CPU and mediocre GPU. I wouldn't call that nextgen.

It's as much next gen as the PS4 pro is.
