| celador said: It can't really be 9th gen if it doesn't have it's own exclusives, and I'm not sure MS can afford another big lie by going back on that promise. Scorpio may be a good leap but it's not going to be generational, unless MS are going to surprise everyone by revealing it's much more powerful than first stated and release it for a ridiculous price. As for target audience, it must be focusing on the hardcore. Not much of the general gaming population is going to spend that much on an upgraded Xbox, as we have seen with Pro. Even less so when Phil Spencer himself said you really need a 4k TV to notice the big differences. Personally, it seems to me Microsoft have become fixated on power as they feel that it is the only thing they can really beat Sony on right now, so they are going all in on it. I really don't see how it does any better than PS4 Pro right now. |
Scorpio is supposedly 6TF of performance that's way more than enough for a generational leap, as seen with Switch replacing Wii U bad PR is only temporary and they've brushed off such situations in the past.
The part about target audience proves my point as the's no logical sense in making a platform with a generational leap and have a plan for it that limits iits appeal, MS at this point know PS4 won't be caught so I can't see them not turning Scorpio into a gen 9 platform to get a head start of Sony and force their hand.
