Ok, it’s more like 400%....my bad.

 

So you’ve chosen to completely disregard my arguments for price gap and leaving behind base console users...?! I wonder why.

 

Considering that vid..I’ve read the according DF article about that intelligent delivery a while ago already. It’s a concept atm which they will mostly use for their excessively huge first party titles in order to shrink their sizes. It’s even mandatory, why would anyone understand he has to download 4K assets on his base X1?! It’s crazy X1 users even had to download those updates.

Even DF question many third parties will use it though.

That said it’s still just a concept and not active yet, just like I said.

The 5350 Launched at $60.

The 1700 Launched at $329 

Are you seriously comparing those 2 processors?

As for file sizes, I just googled it and the average X1X enhanced game is 20% bigger on 1X vs the base 1 but Microsoft gives you 100% more storage on the 1TB 1X vs the 500GB base model, so that argument is destroyed.

You claim the PS4 Pro is half the price of the 1X but in reality $399 is only 20% less than $499, not 50%.

How would owners of the OG Xbox One feel bad?  The console is 4 years old and Microsoft is giving them the OPTION to upgrade to the most powerful console ever made... All games are compatible between the 2 machine so your argument, again, is invalid.

You also say Sony did the right thing by only offering a marginal upgrade with the Pro... Seriously?  Sony wants $400 for a system that is 2.3 times more powerful than the base PS4 while Microsoft only wants $100 more for a system that is 4.6 times more powerful than the base Xbox One and somehow that translates into Microsoft being the bad guy?

I've seen a lot of hypocritical statements here on VGChartz but nothing tops this. Unreal.

Ps4 Pro was 400 LAST YEAR, it's available for 340,- already with an additional soon to be announced official price drop, possibly on PSX in December. It's a 40% power difference to PS4Pro, so nothing major. Sony wants 100 dollars more for a 2.3 times as fast console, basically because PS4 was already a decent machine.

Microsoft on the other hand wants 300 dollars more for a 4.6 times as fast console. Not sure what is the better proposition. It's basically the same.

 

My point still stands. Sony's way to go, with a substantial upgrade for 4K users at a minimal price difference while still respecting the base console and putting their money in game development....over MS's take to basically embarrass base X1 users in the future and putting their money on better looking multiplats..any day of the f'in week!
