| whatever said: MS shows they have not learned anything from the XB1 release. I guess they've convinced themselves that the PS4 outsold the XB1 because it was more powerful. Where it was their terrible reveal and the $100 price difference that was the real issue. If Scorpio comes in at $499, and the PSPro is, by then, $299, the power difference will be irrelevant. |
I fully expect the Scorpio to come in at $499, at best $449, but the Pro won't be $299. I think Sony will cut the Slim to $249 and the Pro to $349. Still that'll be a $100 price difference at best, but more likely will end up being $150 difference. The power difference isn't going to mean much when you count the price difference PLUS the 1 year headstart for the Pro PLUS the fact that Xbox no longer has exclusives, the reason to get a Scorpio diminishes quite a bit.
MS made a mistake launching the Scorpio so late in the gen. I know they want to go "generationless," but that doesn't mean anything when Sony and Nintendo aren't going that way AND the PS5 will most likely be out in 2019, and we'll be hearing rumors about it not too much longer after the Scorpio launches (maybe even leaked by Sony themselves.) A system that will blast the Scorpio out of the water with 10+ Tflops, 12 GB of RAM, and a much better CPU. MS will be playing catch up, again. I doubt they want to or will be ready to announce a console a mere 1-1 1/2 years after the Scorpio launch.
