PS4 pro still uses the same CPU as the regular PS4 which is already weaker than xbox one. Not to mention it will be easier for devs to take full advantage of the Xbox Scorpio since Microsoft API is easily scalable. Don't believe me, just look at PC gaming. Thanks to direct x you can change the settings to 4k/high ultra settings to 1080p/ low settings by changing the settings in the menu. Microsoft will probably release a console every three years and guarantee each console a 6-7 year life span. |
Oh, did MS release a spec sheet that actually states they are using a much better CPU? Much more RAM? Nope? Didn't think so. But, by all means continuing believing what you wish.

Definitely not going to buy a slim now with that powerhouse coming out next year for 399 :) For example http://www.tweaktown.com/news/51972/new-xbox-5-times-more-powerful-ps4-neo-rocks-10-tflops/index.html |
So much this. Not sure why they think the Scorpio is going to be so powerful when it's going to be exactly the same strategy as the Pro. The ONLY exclusives MS said they will allow on it is VR games, cause the OG XBO can not run them. Why waste those specs on a current gen upgrade, when it would have to be sold for AT LEAST $599? Going to laugh my ass off if it's basically a XBO S, but with a 6 Tflops GPU and even more overclocked CPU.

Oh, it's going to be competing against both. That's the disadvantage of launching that late in the gen. Sure, you can be more powerful, but you're also going to be going against your competitor's follow up, one that's going to blow your mid-gen upgrade out of the water, and is going to be announced only 1-1 1/2 years after you launch. One that we will start hearing rumblings of shortly after the Scorpio launches. It also allows the Pro to get a foothold on that mid-gen upgrade market. So, compete? Sure. Win? Not so much.
