I am now really curious if Sony will leave the PS4 in auto-pilot or go all-out tomorrow. The machine looks awesome, but that ammount of money for a mid-gen upgrade 4 years into the console cycle is way to much. |
Definitely agree. This isn't going to hurt the PS4 at all. And Sony is going to be cutting the price to $349 this year, too. They could go $299 if they wanted to put the final nail in the Scorpio, but I only see a $50 cut, now. But, that's still a $150 difference. That's too much to justify the purchase for most consumers. Especially with very few exclusives coming.

So..why .. 4k and a new xbox-upgrade? It makes no sense. Microsoft might just want to make a lot of money, i think. 499 dollars ... really ?! i vote for "tooo high". |
And here's the big negative for the Scorpio. It has no exclusive that is pushing the system to its limits, making a purchase more desirable. And a lot of what they showed was indies that would look exactly the same on the Pro. Or multiplats that are still going to look damn good on the Pro.
Crackdown 3 was supposed to be a graphics showcase, but I guess MS cut the budget, cause what they showed was not very impressive. Generic even.
