Can't agree with that. Microsoft is doing Okay. It certainly hasn't imploded like the WiiU which has a larger precentage of exclusives than the Xbox One.
The Xbox 360 did really well considering how much of it's library was multiplats.
| Nem said: The convinience is the only angle you got. Controllers you have on the PC, you can connect your PC to the TV and play it in your couch. I am a console gamer, i understand the convinience argument. But if it wasn't for all the latest exclusive games, i would not buy a console and would expand my PC instead. |
Those aren't my arguments. Those are the arguments I hear console gamers use.
Besides. All your console games end up on PC eventually anyway.
But you still haven't answered my question. What do you loose if console exclusives were available on other platforms?
I can tell you what you will get... Developers and Publishers can sell their game to a larger audience, which means more copies of a game sold and hopefully a larger budget for the sequel, which results in better production values next time around.
| ICStats said: The ~10% boost in CPU over PS4 Pro surely doesn't live up to the Scorpio hype. |
Scorpio's CPU advantage is larger than what the clockspeed numbers imply. - I thought people moved away from using "Megahertz/Gigahertz" after the Pentium 4 era to gauge performance? Lets not go backwards now.
| dahuman said: Just buy a fucking PC. Think about it. You already spent that money on the X1, and MS is not targeting new users with the Scorpio, so now you are going to spend that money again even if you get some money back from selling off the X1. Then there is XBL where you pay for annually, which is not a thing on PC. Just buy a decent fucking PC and get it over with lol. |
| Oneeee-Chan!!! said: Project Scorpio The analyst’s warning comes on the same day that Microsoft MSFT revealed the technology inside its next Xbox system, codenamed “Project Scorpio.” Integral to the new console will be Microsoft’s new Scorpio Engine, a “system-on-chip” that was designed alongside AMD. There were some rumors that Project Scorpio would feature AMD’s new Ryzen CPU technology, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Last month, shares of slid after an unfavorable review of the Ryzen 7’s PC gaming performance. |
That's sad to see. AMD needed the big boost in support. But... I did call it early once we had engineering samples that Ryzen wasn't going to set the world on fire. In many instances Ryzen having single-threaded performance equivalent to that of a Core i5 was pretty much inline with expectations once ES chips landed over a year ago.
