In terms of sales PS4 Pro's biggest competitor is PS4 and Xbox One S, Phil is right in that regard.

This guy is something else... #RIPXbox
Maybe it's the short phrases, or their arrangement, but it reminds me of a certain doge we all know
Such resolution. Wow.
Coupled with the shirts.
MS has definitely despised being the weakest for most of this gen.

Extreme embarrassment is missing I feel
It just needs doge's cute little face in there.
Man, if you really didn't know anything about the industry, you might actually think ms was the market leader the way Phil spews nonsense. I guess at some point it's best to just drink the company koolaid and just plug your ears and shut your eyes and just go with it.
Lol almost unfair, wow.

Phil is really knocking it out of the park with the hypocrisy this week.
Microsoft's press releases at NPD time will say the Xbox One X is the revenue leader per pixel.

The PS4 Pro is a mid generation refresh at a premium price over the baseline model that is geared towards gamers with 4k TVs.
Sounds just like the XB1S!
Phil, shut the fuck up.

To be fair, it's worth the $100 difference for the 4k blu ray player alone. All the added horsepower is just gravy.
No reason to get so mad, man. It's just video games.

Sony not including a UHD-BR player in the Pro was fucking moronic. I own one, but only because I love Playstation exclusives and want to play whatever FROM's new PS-only IP will be. As others have said, the X is worth the extra $100 based on the UHD-BR drive alone, the rest of the additional horsepower is just a cherry on top.
Thought this was just some random image at first then I clicked the link.
Ahahaha good lord this E3 delivers again.

Pretty sure most aaa games will be using upscaling and dynamic resolution like ps4.
Perhaps it's just my emotions coming off of the new Metroid announcements... but reading this thread just reminds me why I sold my Xbone and haven't bought a new one yet.
I hate the way with Microsoft it's always spin. Let the products and games speak for themselves. Pretending this thing doesn't compete with Pro is ridiculous.
I also think that though the price is a problem the device otherwise compares well with the Pro. Yes its $100 more, but you get UHD Bluray support, better visuals for multiplat titles, and the best experience for Xbox exclusive titles. That's not such a bad story.
If he doesn't think that he can convince someone interested in buying a Pro to buy one of these instead, how exactly does he think they're going to sell it? Who that's considering buying a $500 device like this isn't going to consider Pro, 1S and PS4 slim?
What they really need to realize is that if they're trying to sell a premium piece of hardware to enthusiasts, at $500, that those buyers aren't idiots. Especially not the first adopters that are going to throw down for one in November and get their friends to buy it later by selling them on it. So don't lie to them. Be honest. They understand specs. They know this hardware is not that superior to the Pro. Quit treating your potential buyers like morons, because they aren't.
People that are uneducated about this aren't your target. They'll buy a 1S or a PS4 Slim because it plays the same games and is hundreds of dollars cheaper. The ones you want to buy this? They'll educate themselves. The price is too high for people not to.

Terrifying Clarity has to be the best one
Yeah, not a good outlook for first party. I see it now.
I hope the Xbox team isn't living in some cult reinforcement bubble.
Talk about legitimate arrogance

Somebody with twitter, who could send to Spencer on twitter this?
This post is really all you need.

It looks like they had a brainstorming session for a slogan, and then at the end just said, FUCK IT LET'S USE ALL OF THEM!

So which one do you think should be Xbox X slogan? I vote for "Almost Unfair"
And that session was 5 minutes with only 18 year old interns chipping in...

Phil is right. Xbox One X has a $500 price tag as its competitor.
You can tell they ran out of punchlines with that one.

And GAF suggested the word "cringe" is over-used... we've clearly not reached that point just yet.

This is very embarrassing. I don't remember Sony being this smug about the PS4 being faster than the Xbox One. I don't think Sony will let them have this advantage again though.

Honestly, I have no idea how more games media isn't actually asking these questions.
Beyond Jeff Gerstmann asking about broken games that one time, no one else has asked the hard questions.
