I mean the video card I bought last year is more powerful on paper than the Scorpio that doesn't even come out until the fall. I agree, there is no generational leap. Just throw some more effects and higher resolution. If that is a generational leap then so be it.

Not really. MS stated that VR games will be Scorpio exclusive.
Didnt he critize the switch because he didnt get dev kits or something?Microsoft-exclusive dev takes a stab at Sony. That's quite surprising.
Ok, besides VR games they have so far said no exclusives.
Yeah, just noticed that. Thread is moving fast.
Great, now we can double down on turning consoles into shit PCs. /s
I guess Valve will be happy with all the new people who are leaving the console space.

Basically this.
I think there's some semantic confusion going on here (along with a fair bit of salt). The man's not talking about a "new generation" in the sense that it's a cutting-off point for software, but rather in terms of a generational hardware leap, which, taking the post as a whole, would seem to be his expectation for every new "generation" moving forward.

Not at all .
The ram not even 2 times the amount of PS4.
Then in flops it's less than 4 times the amount .
That was DF speculating. We still don't know what it will be, but there is a good chance it will still be the same cpu.
Hope not. Hope they work out some saucy goodness.

As I've said many many times, MS are going to try and manufacture a victory. They'll try to run with two narratives: One will be that the Scorpio is 'backward compatible' which leaves the door open for the second which will be 'The Scorpio leads next generation.' They can't win this gen so they're going to try and confuse the lines knowing full well that their fans will go either way willingly.
I would agree with you, yes.

First party studio does damage control for unreleased hardware. Not surprised.
Good to see the warriors noticed the smoke signals and rushed in.

Grain or grass fed?
Consoles are done using state of the art gpus because they then could not hit a sub $600 price point. It's not that hard to understand.
Scorpio is likely running a mid-range vega chip, not a top of the line vega architecture that will cost north of $500 just for the discrete GPU.
The console manufacturers have realized that the market that wants the best tech and graphics will spend the money to build a PC, and have realized they won't move a lot of volume starting off and their margins will be terrible launching a $600 console, and it still won't compete with a high end PC gpu. GPU tech has really advanced quite dramatically since PS3/360, and the prices have gone along with it.

I really don't know what the hell is going on anymore...
Or instead of being more concerned with psychological warfare for the Gamefaqs audience they could just be trying to make a commercially successful product and ecosystem

It's probably more likely Scorpio will be a niche product that won't sell much like the Pro, so doubt many would call you crazy.

I mean with its current spec it certainly could be in comparison to the original Xbone.
Problem is that CPU. As long as they are still running Jaguar (which they are) it's going to significantly hold back just how much devs can do

Except we didn't got 8x CPU or 8x GPU on Xbox One this generation dummy.PS4 neither got the CPUpgrade,consoles are changing,transforming,evolving.o.o
To be fair, I can play Wii games on a WiiU
While I agree with you, more RAM is probably the last thing the PS4 and Xbox One need more of.
We don't know this. The Eurogamer leak didn't prove one way or another on what the CPU actually is. I'm not saying it's Ryzen, I just doubt it would be Jaguar.

I asked the following in the other thread. Somehow I always felt MS Spencer has been careful and cryptic with his words on Scorpio. I'm not surprised if they will blur the lines from this point on.
Makes no sense for them to follow Sony route despite their talk about Scoprio exclusive games

So what is a Scorpio 'launch game'? XB1 games can play on Scorpio, Scorpio can play XB1 games. What about future Scorpio games?
So what about native 1080p/30? Will Scorpio makes it 1080p/60 for the competitive advantage?
Can you play Wii U games on a Wii?
heh thats going to come bite him in the future
B/c there's only enough "beef" in the pro for half an ass. Scorpio is packing so much beef its gonna go "full ass".

I see it like upgrading from a GTX 970 to a 1070. Games are the same. The performance is the difference. They are basically selling you Steam-like boxes from this point forward.
