And this is why the PS4 is probably looking at its best year this year.  And at the very least, tie with last year.  Games, games, games.  We're also going to be getting a $249 permenant cut, with a $199 BF SKU.  The Pro is also going to be dropping to $299-$349 by the time the $399-$449 Scorpio drops.  A system that will have all of its games available on PC. And by the end of this year/beginning of next year, we're are going to be hearing rumors about the PS5, something that is going to drastically affect the sales of the Scorpio.  Scorpio is just too late, and too expensive, to really affect anything.

Personally, I've been wanting to get a Pro.  However, with the PS5 most likely launching in 2019, with a much better CPU and 9-10 Tflops GPU and most likely B/C with the PS4, I think I'm just going to wait for that.

I agree  on everything  besides  one.

 

We won't  hear  anything  about  the ps5 for at least  rhe mid/end of 2019

Ps5 ia going  to be released  around  end of 2020/begin or mid 2021.

 

2018 is waay to early 

Agreed, especially with the mid-gen refresh. Realistically, it added an additional 3 years to the standard lifespan of a console, but in practice we'll likely still see a PS5 at the 7-year mark.

I'll be praying for 399. If you fuck up Microsoft, damn I will banned from here again... 

Probably $499.99, since it's a "premium" tier. Though I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was FIVE HUNDRED NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS.

That would be total suicide. I really hope Microsoft isn't stupid enough to go any higher than $399, even if they have to take a loss.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I don't think it would be. Like I said, this is a premium tier. I personally wish Sony would have charged $600 for a beastly console with full BC in the Pro.

Yeah. If you want a cheaper price-point. The Xbox One S should fit the bill anyway.

Scorpio is meant to be premium, it is meant to be the console that all other consoles wish to aspire towards.
I'll be waiting on launch day.

PS4P gpu has enough power to have good gfx at 1080P. But sadly not enough games are supporting it. Scorpio I think they are targetting native 4K which IMO is a bad idea as well. All the processing power in crunching that resolution

It doesn't really make sense to make a premium flagship model for a console and sell it at $600. It's meant to inject new life in the sales of the system, not show how weak the affordable xbox one s is in comparison. It's not going to sell at $600 and will only make the ps4 pro look better.

I would have paid $600 for a ps4 pro with BC, dedicated PSVR ports, 4k UHD drive and SSD inside. Yet the thing would have been doa and only drive more people to the xbox one s.

Ofcourse they'll call it premium, yet yours and my idea of premium is very different from what marketing thinks will be a succesful strategy. Pro, Elite, Premium, it's all the same. In the end, Scorpio is still meant to be a mass consumer product, just as ps4 pro is, not as a $150 elite controller or reference series TV.

The thing with new products is... They will sell regardless of the price, it's new and Shiny. Apple has made it a "thing" with phones.

It is what happens afterwards, if Microsoft isn't satisfied with the sales rate, they will simply do what they have always done. Reduce the price.
It's easy and (good advertising) when you drop the price of a product... But it doesn't sit well with consumers when the price increases.

As for 4k Blu-Ray. It adds nothing to the cost anyway. Sony just decided to keep using the same old Blu Ray drive, it was a silly decision.

Fact is, if you are more price concious, the Xbox One S will continue to exist on the market, the Scorpio can take the more premium ground and sell to those who want the best graphics in a console... But this argument is irrellevent anyway. We have no idea what the pricing actually is... But for me personally, I don't care either.
