its a lot inferior to real UHD players, like the noise. Its 100€ more but 3 times more powerfull thats even more than the OG PS4 to the Xbox One during launch

Oh boy, you're grasping at straws. X1 S is a UHD player and a great gaming machine for a price lower than the average UHD player.

The extra power of PS4 Pro is appealing, but its primarily being used on resolution. I would certainly recommend buying a standard PS4 just incase more games take advantage of that power for more than resolution. But if consumers want a powerful game console than Scorpio is worth waiting for.

I don't think PS4 Pro is gonna have much impact on X1 S because its still cheaper and there is an audinece that wants MS titles. Being the best UHD player around doesn't hurt either.

For a small portion of the market UHD will be important and for another portion MS games will also be desirable (not sure why they wouldn't have bought up to now, so not sure which game they are waiting to flood in, perhaps GoW4).

But I can't think of a reason to say UHD capability would be a bad thing on X1S (unless after PS4S cuts price they can't keep up, which I doubt).
