He's kind of right. When Sony times the PS5 launch it should be safe for 4k gaming to drop. Microsoft jumped the gun on 4k gaming big time. They are just doing this to one up Sony. Sony didnt make the PS4 4k capable because they didnt believe the market was ready nor that the hardware was cost effective at this time. People are streaming more, but sony only screwed up by buying gaikai for BC streaming. You're hyping up a console thats only going to be purchased by a minority of people while company its not even headlining for is losing badly. When sony drops more games its kind of over. Xbox gamers did the same thing during the OG Xbox and Microsoft had to cut the gen short because they were decimated.

Erm no and far beyond being right. If you havnt notice 4k has already hit off. The Scorpio would have been planned years ago not as a last minute decision. MS had another console that was due last year which is more like the PS4 Pro which they scrapped due to it being a silly idea going half way with specs. MS is a PC company which houses heaps of 4k content. They know whats going on.

As for thinking this is to only 1 up Sony.. thats the problem with this industry and its fans. ALL companies are trying to 1 up each other, not just MS. These consoles take years of planning and reserach. There not just  (lets quickly rush a system to be more powerful).

MS most likely dont care what Sony do. There aiming for the 4k market something the PS4 Pro failed to do.

MS jumped the gun. Scorpio will be $599 and not get much 3rd party support since it wont sell very well due to its price. Sony is able to offer 4K gaming at $399 and will drop the price of the Pro the moment Scorpio drops. SOny is in the best position right now with the PS4, it extended its lifecycle by releasing the Pro and will release the PS5 in 2019 with much better tech using AMDs new Ryzen architecture and have a fresh start console. The Project scorpio will be able to drop price to compete however Sony will have the technology edge again.
