Also, that has been the narative. People bought it because it was more powerful. I don't think Microsoft especially with the surface team is going to ever be outdone in terms of power again. |
That survey is years old though; had resolution been a key factor in console sales, then we would see a sales split closer to what we see in Europe for the US but we don't which implies that resolution is not nearly as important as the Internet makes you believe (considering the Ps4 has had a clear performance advantage for 3 years now). Price and library go much, much farther.
And really? So let's say Scorpio releases this year. Pro released last year. That puts Sony a year ahead on the current cycle. When their next console the Ps5 comes out (~2019) , it will undoubtedly be more powerful than Scorpio. If MS doesn't want to be left behind again then their only option will be to cut Scorpios life short by jumping into the next gen with Sony. So, best case scenario, if Ms wants to keep the console power throne then Scorpio will be relevent for a grand total of 2 years on the market. If they want to recoup more of their R&D into Scorpio, they will have to flesh out its life longer.
