Do you reckon the PS5 will be boring?

It seems to me PS4 Pro is hampered down by price. They wanted to hit $399 so that's what you got. A fairly modest upgrade to the CPU and GPU.

I could argue people buying premium hardware buy more games. I mean they're likely to be more avid gamers.

Scorpio is not underwhelming for a mid gen upgrade. It made a more significant boost to everything and that was the plan from the start. They just waited a year longer to release it. Better CPU, much better GPU, and the additional RAM is very significant for better textures, effects, and will help performance. The PS4 Pro seems like it was too focused on resolution while the additional RAM and custom CPU in X1X is gonna allow for a lot more.

I don't think BC will be an issue if they stick to the same architecture (x86).

Ah you meant it's underwhelming because of the price.

A year later and $100 more, they're about the same upgrade for value. We'll see whether the X1X is actually going to get a lot more. It will be the best version but I guess we'll need DF again to point out the differences.

I feel like the PS4 is a very well designed piece of hardware and it has just the right amount of power to do 1080p with high quality graphics. Its a nice piece of hardware for $250-$300.

The PS4 Pro played it too safe on price, it doesn't feel very premium. The GPU rarely hits 4K on modern games. The RAM was basically kept the same so we get the same textures with higher resolutions and games with unlocked frame rates are all over the place. I feel the Pro should have been $500 so it could be a better PREMIUM console. Those who feel $500 is too expensive, go buy a regular PS4.

I feel MS made the right decision if even X1X's price is high. Because the X1S is generally half the price and plays the same games fine.
