| NawaiNey said: PS5/XB2 will likely be cheaper than Scorpio when they release. So what's the point of buying a Scorpio now? Is it because you care about graphics fidelity enough to spend money on buying an upgraded version of a console you already own? If you care about graphics that much then why would you be playing next gen games on Scorpio when they release and look far inferior on the Scorpio with likely missing features like PS3/360 were getting for the cross gen games? I mean money is obviously not an issue for someone who's going to get a Scorpio now. So who is this console targeting exactly? |
Since PCs and Consoles are moving ever closer togheter the question when to upgrade is the same as it is for pc users.
Should you buy a 1080Ti or 1080 now or wait for the next Nvidia lineup? go with ryzen now or wait for ryzen 2?
simple answer: tech is outdated when you buy it but you shouldn't wait to move to the next console or pc component. Scorpio asks the question do you want 4k visuals and the best console performance in games coming to that platform if the answer is yes then buy it. Waiting on tech is never a good idea, just enjoy the tech you have or want.
Its also very reasonable to assume the next generation will aim for 4k so the sooner developers join to make games running with 4k assets the better and the scorpio really kicks this off in a big way because of the memory amount and bandwith so in that light its always super fun to be one of the first to see these new technologies being used in games and in the past this was always reserved to high end pc owners and this is a great time for console players who felt left behind in the past.
