Really ? I am not big fan of higher res as I prefer gfx over pixel but 1080P should be standard now. I can't see the X competiting with PS4P. Though PS4 will be the most popular I am sure |
Most probably PS4 will keep on beating XBOne overall and quite probably PS4Pro will beat XBOneX, but Sony sales tell us two things, that the premium model gives results that totally justify its development, but also that the base model remains the best seller.
Anyhow, both consoles use customised chips based on very mainstream PC ones, it won't take much time for MS to be able to drop its price to the far more appealing $400 level, but no need to rush it and lose money, they wouldn't win anyway. Actually the high price can hype some people and make them wait for an official price cut or the first available special offer to get one, it can make the product desirable for them even if they can't afford it yet.
Finally $500 is a horrible price for a base model, but not so terrible for a premium one.
MS took far worse decisions than this one.
