How is MS 1uping them? |
Microsoft has always been lurking, paying close attention to what Sony does. Microsoft hates to be inferior to Sony in power which is why they rushed to fix their clock speed of the Xbox One, post PS4 reveal in February of 2014. They learned that you don't leave any stone unturned with Sony as they are a dominant company and any leaks could be used to your advantage. As we learned of the PS4 pros existence, Microsoft quickly revealed they would follow suit to compete. Does Microsoft need to make a 4k console? No. They tried to kill Blu Ray as a matter of fact, but they cannot stop a trend. They built in HDR and 4k Blu Ray players into the "S" Model of the Xbox One to follow the trend, but also give the most accurate baseline Xbox One experience without increasing the hardware completely (as you can see, Sony did nothing with their slimline outside of make it more energy efficient). Microsoft basically sold the ideal home with their latest tweet that the PS4 pro's only real perk over the S model Xbox One is having 4.2 TFLOPs.
As you can see here they were ready for Sony's reveal and responded rather quickly. The S model has to true 4k experience and the saddest part of it all is that its Sony's baby. Its going to driven harder into everyones memory banks once the Pro is released.
Lastly, a console that is meant for a minority of gamers should not be gimped (even though it is understood that Sony wants to keep the community together in 30fps hell).This had me questioning whether the PS4 Pro is even capable of 60 fps at 1080p locked in the first place. Tomb Raider cannot even accomplish this.
