| Heavenly_King said: I still dont get the point of the XOX, it is the most powerful console in the world and CANT do in every game native 4K, most games do the same method as PS4 PRO. the PRO and the XOX have the same checkboard 4k and frame rate in most 3rd party games....so I ask again WHAT IS THE POINT!??? |
Because a $500 console isn't going to render every game in native 4K and the consumer market isn't going to buy anything more expensive than $500 at any meaningful level.
The performance that $500 buys is about the best that $500 can do without losing the manufacturer money at retail. And no, I don't care to hear about anyone's $500 budget gaming PC that claims to perform on par or with an XBOX or even better because of keyword "budget" gaming PC.
The entire idea of making a premium console that prices itself out of the typical console buying demographic would be a corporate vanity statement at best in today's market. As far as consumers go, those who want the absolute best will be gaming on a custom PC.
But for $500, the gaming consumer would be hard pressed to do better for so little headache, which is the whole point of a console other than controlled ecosystems for the purpose of benefiting the console manufacturer.
