So you've played all of the Pro games right? I'm guessing you havent got a pro and have not played any. I have and I can say the performance on and looks of the games, I am really pleased with. One or two games run a bit worse, but sure that will be fixed in a patch, considering its able to run many games in such high resolutions. I'm sure its easy to cherry pick if you have an agenda. Look at the picture as a whole and you'll find for the price, its doing a very good job indeed. As I said if you understand development, things will quickly improve, just some patches were probably rushed out as always at the start of dev of a new console that requires changes. Ugly, what uglier than the original XBO, nah, I acutally like the look, its form factor is not too bad either. I guess that is subjective. You are saying that its 100 dollars more than the base PS4, but its actually x2+ more powerful, i think you'll find thats a good deal.Thats not subjective but objective based on power to price performance. What you should ask is why would people who have the money buy a console that is less powerful for $100 dollars less, now that seems like a bad idea. Even worse if you consider that the XBO is less powerful than the PS4. So I see no reason to buy either slims when the Pro is a better deal... of course unless you are only wanting to get a 4k BR..... lets get on to that... As for 4K Blu Ray, yeah very subjective, lets firstly remember its a gaming console. Lets not try to push the TV TV TV agenda at this point. We all know how that went for MS, but now its super important. I think people are getting sick and tired of rebuying hard media, I purchased on DVD, then I moved to Blu ray, I like probably many people do not want the expense of moving up again, and especially not at the price the movie industry is asking for 4K movies. With downloads becoming more and more prevalent it makes sense to consider this isnt the time to move to yet another movie format, I was disappointed about no 4K drive, not because I wanted it (as i dont) because i know some people would complain it was super important to a gaming console (guess what its not). I am ok to play games on disk, but thats it for me on movies, they take up too much space and have reduced value with netflix and amazon these days. So yeah I can say i'm not convinced by your arguments. |
Sony doesn't even call it a "gaming console" it's a entertainment system. That's what Sony has always called it. If you read the box the system comes in you would know that. It may be only a gaming console to you, but not Sony which are the ones who make and market it.
