Well the PS4Pro last year and especially the Scorpio arrive in time because this argument is completely untrue these days its actually hard to buy a new TV and not have it operating at 4k, even televisions priced under $500 have 4k these days its become the new standard, sure for HDR you need to pay around $600 and you need to pay more for bigger sizes and better HDR/4k qaulity but even someone on a budget is likely to pick up a 4k television these days. That shift actually went quite fast 2 years ago 1080p screens where still released like crazy! |
The thing is, most people already own a TV. It's easy to say "look, they're only a few hundred dollars now!", but people have to care enough to spend that money on a better version of what they already have. They then have to care enough to buy a more expensive new console. They also, however, have to not care enough that they're already getting that experience on PC. 4k will definitely become the new standard, but we aren't there yet.
The Scorpio could do well, but these factors will almost certainly hold it back, just as they hold back the Pro. The only question is by how much. If the Scorpio has a 1080p/60fps mode, i expect that's what the majority will be useing.
