Machiavellian said: Actually he is probably correct as far as how MS view the Pro. If MS felt the X1X was competing with the Pro, they would have taken a price cut and sold it either 399 or 449. Since MS decided to sell it at 499, they are positioning the device as a clear premium console above what they believe the pro is. I believe one of the problems with statements like this is people take things out of context. What I mean is that people get all upset when they read a blurb about something someone says but never look at the over all interview or paragraph to understand where that person is coming from. Its clear that Phil view the PS4 Pro as a mass market console with its price. Anyone looking at the Pro knows Sony really did not do that much to the system beside bump up the GPU. MS and Sony had very different goals when they made their mid gen systems. Sony was going for a more modest update while MS knew that they needed to go bigger because just doing the same thing nets them nothing. |
If he just said X1X isn't competing with PS4Pro because they have a different vision them ok, but when he justifies that on the 40% GPU difference and them say PS4Pro is competing with X1S (which is 3x as powerfull as X1S) then it becomes completelly silly.
