But, Scorpio as far as we know, is supposed to support all Xbox One consoles so it's not really an entirely new console. While PS Neo is being touted as a premium PS4 with added VR support, etc. Not a new console. So the games, more or less, will remain the same. In retrospect, the Neo won't be the PS5 and the Scorpio isn't the Xbox Two for very different reasons but it doesn't effect how NX might recieve ports from either console/company.

Something tells me NX is going to do something that ensures its own shelf life without having to face a failure and quickly band together to make a new console. Something tells me that NX isn't your ordinary console.

first off --  wrong wrong wrong.  all vr we've seen so far is on the standard ps4.  no one has seen any vr on the neo yet.  the standard ps4 can do vr just fine.  it's is the scorpio that is being touted as adding VR support.  ..and speaking of scorpio we don't really know what ms is doing with that since they've released contradictory statements.

 

secondly, the roadmap i've seen for playstation has neo released this year as the "premium model" while support must include the regular old ps4 as the "base model".  in 3 years (after the regular old ps4 has been on the market for 6 years or an entire generation) the neo is demoted to the "base model" and trinity is introduced as the new "premium model".  a new half gen every 3 years.

i mean,. nintendo could do this schedule as well but it seems entirely unnintendo to follow that.

Yes...all we've seen is a Standard PS4 but if you've been listening to sony reps, they're saying it's NOT a PS5. So it's a mid level console with upgraded specs...which um...logically would increase VR functionality if there is an increase in terra flops. So unless Sony wants to ailenate 40 Million customers and only make a new game format available on PS NEO, it's going to be a premium ps4 that supports all PS4 software in some capacity.

Scorpio has been said concretely that it is trying to put an end to generations. It makes sense. They don't want to send their install base down back to 0 with every new console. That's the premise of Scorpio.

The fact of the matter is, if NX adopts x86 and has at least 8 GB of Ram, it'll be fine for a while. 3 years isn't much but again, we still don't know what NX is so we can't say if it doesn't have a plan to make sure it doesn't become obsolete in the near future, most notably, the cloud gaming patent.
