Power means nothing. Buy a PC if you're craving for a powerful system. Scorpio is an unavailing concept if it's not striving to have good exclusives. It's essentially similar to having a gun without bullets. 

The people love the PS4 + Nintendo combo as it fulfills every gamer's demand in terms of functionality and games. 

-The Switch is portable, a great multiplayer system, and has great first party exclusives. 

-The PS4 has the best third party exclusives on console, great first party exclusives, and is cheap to purchase at the moment.

Xbox One/Scorpio? The only benefit I foresee is that the Xbone has always had better online services than these too. But as a PC gamer, I don't bother with online gaming on console, not with the PS4 at least, most online games on the PS4 are on PC where I can play online for free without fee. The Xbone virtually has no competent exclusives, which can all be acquired on PC anyway. At this point, most Xbone owners are just loyal and are reluctant to ackwoledging that 2017 was not a good year for them so far. PS4 got Horizon, Nioh, Nier Automata, and will have plenty of exclusives at E3.

Ideally, I would conclude PC + PS4 + Switch is the best combo if you can afford it. Technically Microsoft is in the mix as most PC games require Windows to run. So everyone wins :P

PC won.

I only wish it had Nintendo's games.

Wrong. Power don't mean shit. Price is more important. So best combo to play all games for the cheapest price exept ms first parties is pswitch. Other wise you miss out on sonys wonderful first second and third party excluisves.

PS + Nintendo has been my perfect combo since 1998, so I couldn't agree more.

Joke's on you. MS "doesn't care what you do, as long as you do it on their operating system."

Thats fine, windows is good enough for my needs.

Lol, really?  Want to post numbers to prove that?  Cause as far as I can tell the PS4 is up YOY in the US and Japan.  We don't have concrete numbers for EU, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's up YOY as well.  And no, I'm not using VGC numbers that are obviously wrong, since they put PS4 and XBO so close in the US, yet the real numbers show something completely different happening.

And power by itself means nothing.  You also have to have a good price and good exclusives to push that system.  If what MS has been saying is true, that it will have a premium price, so probably $449+, that will look like a bad price versus a $299-$349 Pro.  It also no longer has exclusives to help push it, either, as they have been given to Windows to help push MS's interests there.  There's a reason even the XBO S sales have been slowing, while PS4's has not.

I'm certainly thinking about getting a Switch as an additional device to PS4, and mostly for it's handheld / away from home capability. But really it would be down to whether there are games my son really wants to play, as there aren't enough exclusive games that I want to play to justify it only for myself.

I'll still always default to PS as the home console. Nintendo is always a maybe. I suspect there are a lot of people who are one brand always and the other brand maybe.

The interesting thing is, outside the core fanbases of the different brands I would say the flexible audience would tend to only get one or other device. And on that front Sony and Nintendo are definitely competing for attention and $$. Without Switch being a hit I could see PS4 possibly selling well over 100 million units. With Switch it may still reach 100 million and no one can rightly say that 100 million is a poor result. But the max potential in the absence of Switch would not be reached

That's Xbox, for now. PS still has enough content not available on PC to be a justified purchase for a PC gamer. But I would say that for 2-platform maximum library diversity PC+Nintendo would be the winner.

Well, it's unsurprising that they said this, they'd probably prefer a stable MS-Sony-Nintendo situation than having a revolving door of companies, as they gain more from stability.
