Sonys response: *yawn*

Power doesn't matter anymore. We're back to games > specs :P

It's just like a supercharged Playstation 4 Pro. All the Xbox One accessories and games will be compatible with the console.

If all the rest of the hardware remains the same. Sure. But guess what? There is more to performance than flops.

It won't use PC's max settings in allot of demanding AAA titles.
If a high-end PC can't do AAA games at 4k with all Ultra settings, no way in hell will a more price-sensitive device like a console achieve it.

That depends. Just because you have an underpowered CPU doesn't mean you will always be held back by the CPU.
GPU's these days are capable of offloading a significant amount of computation that is normally reserved for the CPU... Which does help make up for any CPU deficits.
Plus games aren't a static environment, the processing load can and will change depending on what is being displayed on the screen, developers will account for that.

Converesly... We literally have zero idea what CPU Scorpio will use.
Plus using flops within the context you are using it in is incorrect anyway... It's a theoretical number. It may not even be achievable in the real world and having Bandwidth/Memory bottlenecks doesn't change the single precision floating point capabilities anyway.

The Xbox One has had a few emulators on it. What is to say that in the future CEMU is ported to the Xbox One and Zelda is emulated on the console?

The thing about Ryzen is that it had engineering samples over a year ago, so AMD and Microsoft would have had a pretty good idea on it's performance, capabilities and fabrication costs/yields.

I do agree it is way to expensive to consider though.

Power always matters. To a point.
Scorpio being technically superior is going to ruffle some feathers around these 'ere parts.

Power does matter, but whats power without great responsibility :D

A games company needs to do three things, its not complicated, but seems companies get it wrong:

Power | Price | Exclusive & Wide genre of games.

So when XBO came out, it was marketted poorly to a USA centric market with very non gamer specific stuff and some restricted things. It was more expensive and had an extra peice of harware (Kinect) that was not supported with anything substatial (so wheres the player benefit). So of course cheaper, better supported more powerful PS4 won. But dont be confused by the fact the PS4 won just because it was more powerful, it didnt, it was all the other things that had an impact. MS at the moment seems to think just making their hardware more powerful will win the day, it wont.

By selling tens of millions more PS4s.  

PS5 is not coming till late 2019 at best or 2020ish.

New Last of US, God of War, Gran turismo, Final Fantasy 7 Remake..... probably also Spiderman/deaths stranding/Detroit Become human will be big.

Some delusional thread right here folks.

That seems almost like MS is making a start on the 9th generation, not a gen 8.5 machine. Would be pretty close to form with MS putting a fork in Xb og after just 4 years of sales much weaker than PS2.

What is behind scorpio ?
Universal Windows Plateform (uwp), projet Hélix, play anywhere... Microsoft want a plateform for developers, xbox one is low PC for 1080p and xbox scorpio is gaming PC for 4k...
Microsoft want to kill steam (win32 remplace by UWP) with Windows store, and in the same time, xbox family using UWP for easy porting.

The problème of Sony, it's not the scorpio.... It's Windows / UWP !

Speaking about tflops is not important, anyway we pay power (ps4p, scorpio or PC) or portability (switch) ... the important is how have the Best games on their plateforms (software) for a family of products. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo want a family of products, with différents prices, but one Way to développing.

Scorpion things next week, yes. Hardware sounds damn impressive. 🎮 https://t.co/MovqRIUjLa
