Forums - Microsoft - Judging by the reactions here, MS maybe is doing right with Scorpio.

So Microsoft is doing right by igniting a new gen early because they lost?

Microsoft is doing right by ditching current X1 owners in the event that VR takes off?

Microsoft is doing right by having launch dates for games we've seen at E3 the past 3 years?

Notice how none of that is about power. Sony has hardly ever used the power advantage to talk up their PR. Instead we saw Microsoft claim that the power of the cloud made Xbox 1000 times stronger. Instead they said that the advanced architecture of X1 made certain games possible only on X1. Instead they were the ones who dropped Kinect and freed up GPU and CPU resources. Sony never made this game about power, digital foundry and Microsoft did. Scorpio conceptually is nice but they're essentially placing it in a position to burn existing x1 users should VR take off, and THAT is what's wrong and THAT is the difference between Neo and Scorpio. Watch, when Scorpio comes out none of the games it plays will be native 4K at 30fps and you will be duped again.

And I've seen just as many if not more anti Sony e3 threads as I have anti Microsoft threads this past week. Specifically talking about release dates on games, well what did you expect when we were largely shown unannounced games? I don't personally want to be involved in the fallout from this years conference, but as I lurk on vgchartz I can't help but notice certain narratives that are completely bogus.

Project Scorpio is real and already striking fear into the hearts of many.

Sony fans bash Xbox to feel better about they're purchase. They need to convince themselves they bought the right console, that can be said about all sides aswell.

But hey at least Sony fans care more about Xbox than Xbox fans do, look at all the discussion going on.

;)

Let's not judge an entire crowd based on the actions of a few disturbed individuals.

Infact, this thread has done well in highlighting the specific problems faced by this forum post-E3. Fans on all sides are being really fucking petty about what was revealed, trying to score points in a console war that doesn't even exist. Our main problem here is that one side absolutely drowns out the other in terms of noise created.

Scorpio will be judged upon release on how the consumer reacts to it and on the games that we see developers creating for it. Don't let a few bitching fans drag down your experience.

Thread has achieved nothing more than to rile people up. Locking.
