Scorpio launching at 499-599 isn't going to steal no thunder from PS4. Even Pro were very small sales compared to PS4 vanila and that was during BF from a 249 vs 340. Considering X1 is doing worse than vanilla PS4 and it will be a 499 Scorpio versus a 199 X1 I think Scorpio won't be smoking hot sales. Defining a console as enthusiastic level certainly can't be accompanied with high sales expectatives.

Gonna be interesting to see how people react, for 4 years the ps4 has been the better buy from a technical point if you want to play games on your television, if you bought a xbox you did it because you like the games better or the fact its a better media player.

Either way, how will people decide when next year the xbox for the first time this gen will have a significantly better console from a technical perspective, the extra memory and much faster GDDR5X memory will make more difference then the ps4pro did.

Im excited.

We will finally take out 2 myths... First that PS4 sold better than X1 due to price (it was part on it, but after initial reception X1 undercut PS4 and still undersold, GC also undercut PS2 and undersold) or power (because Scorpio will be stronger than PS4 and PS4Pro but will probably sell lower than X1S that is weaker than the 3).

Just because you are stating this or calling them a myth does not make it an actual fact.

Obviously there is no real way to prove it in either way but I definitely believe The PS4 sold better because of the price mainly. And then it was just a domino effect.

As far as the power, it helped but again, it goes to the first point. Having a more powerful console for a lower price just did it.
