It took Sony almost 3 years and a revision to get the price of the PS4 down to 299.99. You really think they will drop the price of the Pro by 100 dollars in a year?

I'd buy it at $499 or less, without a second thought.

Pretty sure the game has a dynamic resolution, meaning that even without a patch it should become a constant 1080p/60fps.

Why would people think Scorpio will have a version without controller lol.

Doesn't matter if the online is silky smooth, going back after Halo 5 will only lead to disappointment.
A remastered campaign at 1080p/60fps with all the bells and whistles though? I'd want that pumped directly into my veins.

Well even better, just take the Halo 5 multiplayer engine and remake some Halo 3 maps.
All I said was maybe they'd include an Elite over a standard Xbone controller for a more expensive SKU.
I think the console will be 399$ but if they go with 6tfp option. There is no need to increase the power and the price when the clear winner in the power race is MS. Not too many people will change their mind just because it went from 6 to 7.

Nah, if you do an anniversary remake then you need to do it properly.
On the other hand it would be worth it just to see how Jack the Nipper would react.
Forgot about that. Thanks!
High Ground you will be mine

I know you didn't said that, but look above lol.
It's not about the TF number, it's about will the console run games in 4K at 60fps...at 6TF I just don't see it, at least based on what current PC GPU's are doing. Scorpio's specs are close though, 8TF cards are handling 4K/60 now. Who knows I'm obviously just thinking out loud.
Edit:
Ah, missed that. Of course no controller is not gonna happen but I agree with him that I think they'll have 2 versions so they can hit $399.
Scalebound and sea of thieves.
Absolutely. There's a difference between the first 2-3 years of a consoles life and further years (as sales begin to slow, parts get cheaper, etc). In order to outsell MS I could see it at $299 and - if not $299 - $349 with a game or two.
Which is fine either way to Microsoft because you're buying software from them regardless. The Scorpio will just be their high end option for those who don't want to buy a PC and want a box they can stick under their tv and (after a slew of updates) just work.
Those will already be out
you found Phil's loophole

I would assume with Gears 4 being on PC it will take advantage of Scorpio next year

There will be a $400 sku for sure. Range will be from $400-500 I bet.

Interesting..
I don't think so.
Fixed.
Fair.
They're a long way from starting production, so how are they to know the finalized production costs? Hit that nail on the head and then they'll have a better idea what to charge consumers.
Also, why tip their hand this far out? See where the market is in twelve months.

I'll definitely buy a Scorpio. MS has a whole year to make it awesome.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Now they are just going to keep bragging about the power, aren't they? Very annoying to be honest.

So Albert basically said PS4 Pro is appetizer course for the main course that is the Scorpio? lol
If MS can create some kind of mini launch with one or two games, I think they'll win Christmas 2017 in Usa and Uk.
I also hope they go back to their old pre Kinect days, they have so many IPs I care about.
I'm still waiting for a new NightCaster,Kameco,Perfect Dark, Conker, Tao Feng and many more.

Yep, which is dumb because they are launching a year later...but I'd rather both of them wait 2 years and uncork a couple beasts. Ps5 will likely be announced right before Scorpio launches to steal hype...its getting confusing, if consoles keep leap frogging, I'm going PC.
Well, they have to keep beating that drum for a year so that people know what's the most powerful system. I understand your angst tho.

The Xone was always in need of a bigger tech bump than the ps4.
Still currently saving to upgrade my PC. But between the neo and Scorpio the latter seems the more attractive proposition.
Also msoft hit it out the park with the look of the XoneS, hope they do so with the Scorpio also.
Halo 6 looking stunning on the machine would greatly tempt me if there is no PC version.

Scorpio sounds great to me.
1.2TF -> 6TF is a proper generational jump, there will be a proper CPU increase unlike PS4P, and as a PS4 user I'll get access to all the XB1 games I never had access to.
Most importantly, I believe it has a better chance of really delivering native 4k gaming experiences, and it will play 4k blu-ray which is important because I have about 3Mb/s internet.

Did you steal this post from my head?

For Xbox one and Xb1s users who already have controller(s). They might appreciate the controllerless SKU.
I honestly think MS has a slew of new unannounced games in the pipeline specifically to showcase the Scorpio. In addition to all the mentioned first party games. Can't wait to see what games like Crackdown will look like on Scorpio.
Sarcasm..?

What's annoying? A tech company bragging about their product.
Never seen that before...
Just like the Slim wasn't going to have a controller huh?
Keep in mind that any game that will "showcase" Scorpio's power must also run on the OG Xbox One.

Yup, this is exactly what I'm thinking too. I'll still have my OG PS4 for Sony exclusives and will now gain access to the already released Xbox One's lineup in addition to the generational leap by going with Scorpio.
This. I have an elite controller. I have no interest in getting a standard controller bundled in, so a standalone Scorpio would be right up my alley.
