The lack of continuous chatter about the PS4 Pro should teach Microsoft about scorpio

[Burning Typhoon]

I will say this. The PS4 Pro, currently, as a 1TB vs. a 500GB PS4 slim, is worth it, for the upgrade. You get more stability in games, and more HDD space. There is at least a hundred dollars extra in value. With that said, I have an original PS4 as a gift, and a ps4 pro, I bought at 100 dollars off, so I bought mine for 299. I was not going to get the pro if I couldn't get a deal. I already had a PS4, and the 400 dollars + tax I would have had to pay, for 100 dollars worth of upgrades would not have been worth it at all...

Now, I also have a GTX 1080Ti + Ryzen 7 1800x + Samsung 960 Pro NVMe 512GB + 512GB SSD, +1TB HDD + 2TB HDD, + 4TB external HDD

Xbox Scorpio will not best my PC. It just wont. Microsoft already announced that every xbox one game will make it's way to PC. I can do max settings at 1440p + 60FPS, minimum, or up to 144FPS, thanks to my monitor. But, only overwatch runs at 144FPS with no dips at max settings.

Personally I have 0 reason to own an xbox. However, I'm not playing PS exclusives without a PS4.
Both consoles are premium versions of pre-existing consoles. They're not meant to take over, in terms of sales.

Do I touch my PS4? No, I don't, I have a Pro.

Those premiums are about compromises. Are you willing to pay more for something you probably wont notice? Frame dips drive me crazy. If my minimum isn't what I want to play my game at, I will go into the settings and change things up until I get a smooth framerate across the board...

Not everyone is going to care, notice, or have a TV or monitor capable of showing off what those new consoles can do. I replaced my TV to get better response times, and more screen real estate... which cost me 700 dollars... For some people, replacing a perfectly good TV like that one for another at 2.5x the price is insane.

Is it faster than my monitor. No, it's 2 frames behind, so I play non-competitive games on the 4K TV, which is 50 inches and enjoy the larger picture. But, when I play a fighting game, like TTT2, I use my PC monitor. It's smaller, but it's faster.

There's an entry level cost, and there's a premium cost for consoles. I think it's fine. Scorpio will do well... Not everyone has a set-up like mine, with 10 gaming consoles, and a PC with high end specs on top of it all. There is a spot for scorpio.

The people who want xbox games to look better than 900p, without spending 1,000 dollars on a PC to get almost comparable performance. But, let's be honest, not even a $1,000 PC is going to beat the Scorpio. Not after taxes, warranties, and installation. Even if you do it yourself, it still takes time to do.

Scorpio is straightforward. You're not getting a fully fledged PC. You pick your game, and play it.
