Well if he's looking for something with better 4K playing and he wants one in the near future, sure. But if the whole thing is about having a system thats really powerful and can play 4K BluRay, then he might want to wait. He could still buy games for the Scorpio while he waits for it to come out and save $200. Personally, I'll probably get a X1 S myself sometime in the future -4K doesn't really interest me. So having a X1S is good enough for me, plus its got a nice design to it. But at the end of the day it's what he chooses I suppose XD

The big problem is he sold his PS4 lol, proberbly the best thing for him would have been to not sell his PS4 and wait, but now that he has already sold it and PS4 doesnt offer what he wants, the XBox one S is the smarter move, since you should never buy something you don't want to, but yeah, the PS4 as a game machine is just fine and the Scorpio will be the better 4K experience, so you are right, but he sold his PS4 to early :P

If he sold his PS4, then it means he didn't want a PS4 in the first place.

Wait for NX and buy two at launch.



I suppose it's ashame for the handful of people that still use blu-ray, but for the rest of us, not having to pay extra for a feature we won't use is a better choice.

No buddy, I sold it because there's no way I was getting the price I got for it after the Pro reveal. That money was supposed to used for a PS4 Pro, Sony screwed the pooch here as far as I'm concerned. Now XBOX One S is the only economical solution for someone like me.

So, you only had the console for blu-ray playback?

I think the decision to skip out on the 4k blu-ray player makes sense. They'll obviously lose some customers, and it's a shame you're disappointed, but i expect they'll gain many more in being able to offer a relatively high end gaming
experience at such a low price.

Still, for those that really want 4k blu-ray (and aren't too bothered about game image quality), the X1S looks like a good alternative. It's really competitively priced versus stand-alone players.



I jumped the gun saying day one for the Pro, I think I'll hold off and stick with my PS4 (unless Sony offers like some great trade in deal for the Pro)

It was for both. I used my PS4 for games, Blurays, and Netflix. Now to play 4k Blurays Sony is asking me to pay 400 bucks for that and another 400 for Ps4 Pro. Screw that.

So, as a 'gamer' you're opting for 4K Blu-ray movies over better looking games? Weird.
