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

Sony fans would have liked the PS4 Pro to have power equal to Scropio even if the cost was higher. Because PS4S is still a cheap option and PS4 Pro would eventually get price cuts. Since its well under Scropio that and its improvments to PS4 games fairly modest, there isn't much "chatter."

However making the technically superior console isn't what's most important, I can agree on that.

Eitherway, Scropio's power isn't really related to a lack of exclusives. But Scorpio does address the issue of people feeling X1 is under powered and that will give it the superior multiplat ports. And I believe Scorpio could phase out the X1 S in a couple years.

Thats not so. The pro had disappointing power, but their exclusives will make great use of the upgrades. This generation we don't need to see 4k if we havent even mastered 1080p 60 yet. That at least is attainable and can be achieved for most games this gen with the pro. Even until the end of this gen the pro would be right on target in pricing and on the TV's that already exist in peoples homes. This is why Sony didnt make the Pro a true 4k console. When we see the games Sony puts out on the pro you will see why they dont need a overly powerful console to distract from the truth of their development prowess. Once more, lets hope Microsofts E3 makes it all worth it, besides making a couple known exclusives and multplats look good.

Bingo, not only does the Pro lack the ability to achieve 4K but its also not powerful to do 1080p and 60 fps in many titles. For a premium option it simply didn't deliver enough, it was a missed opportunity. I believe PS4 Pro should have been an even more powerful machine for $499 that better achieves either 4K or 60 fps. While those on a budget can stick with the PS4S which is still a great machine for $299.

Quite frankly multiplat games are the most important content of both platforms. I mean neither console could thrive without that so having the best versions is worth something. As long as MS starts pumping out a few notable exclusives a year they will be okay, even if Sony gets more which is expected given userbase and Japan.
