When you jump from Ps3 to ps4 or Xbox 360 to X1, it already felt like quite a big leap. Obviously there have been bigger leaps in generations before but, if you're a console only gamer... It feels like you are already getting a more premium product.
I certainly felt that way when I picked up my (still going strong!) day one edition.
I'd much rather have iterations like it looks like the future will be. I was once weary of the pro's and the Scorpio's. What a fool I was.
