No one is trolling. Current PS4 is insanely loud, especially compared the the Xbox One.
My launch day PS4 is very quiet.

Hey I love my PS4 and am happy with how it's tracking along although I'd like 1080/60 to be standard the games I play are 60fps and anything else I play on my PC. The one thing I'm always frustrated at with new generations is that the last generation gets left in the wind. All digital purchases are basically left null and void as the new console isn't backwards compatible which gives publishers carte blanche to re-sell me the same game with a resolution bump. It's why I have been hesitant to buy a lot of digital games this generation in fear that I'm still going to need to hold onto the PS4 when a new console comes out.

I don't think backwards compatibility will be an issue going forward.
There will not be any hardware or software issue, you are right. And maybe even the console first party companies would be okay with it. But third party developers might not be so kind.

Microsoft is only making the Scorpio because they want to end this gen. Sony CAN release PS5 early, but why would they want to? They are currently dominating with PS4 and the install base forces all the third parties to make sure their games run on PS4 hardware.
They don't have any choice if its hardware bound. You pop in the disc and it runs. Sony and MS are going to be prioritizing ecosystems going forward, and they are not going to want to restart from zero again. especially not Sony after being forced to with PS3
Well yeah, if Sony want to turn NEO into PS5 then that's what they would have done. That's my point, that they did not do it.I can only assume that if Sony had decided to go with the more powerful Neo design and waited until Q3/4 of 2017, and had very similar specs to the Scorpio... we wouldn't be seeing posts like this.
Spencer had gone on record claiming that Scorpio will be "four and a half times" more powerful than Xbox One. I find it hard to believe that it is not meant to be the start of a new generation. Just because it would have backwards compatibility doesn't change the fact that it is definitely no where near an upgraded XB1. It is their new console for the next gen.MS isn't restarting a gen or ending it... if anything, they're prolonging it. The Scorpio is not a move for the mainstream, a $199 Xbox One S in a year or two will be that. Only the hardcore will be clamoring for a $500 Scorpio.
PS5 is not coming anytime soon.
The PS4 is not "extremely loud". At least not all the time. It may have its moments on certain games but overall it's levels are somewhere between the PS3 Slim and a 360 Slim. Which is fine
If your PS4 is constantly loud, there's probably something wrong with it.
sorry if this isn't the thread for this, but i'm really considering getting a slim. Does anyone know how good bestbuy is for preorders? Am I gonna get it the same day or what?

Still insane to me that this shit is just out there.Has this unboxing video been posted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHhKPhx6hAs it shows the new DS4 and the console in great detail

If we are talking about disc games, sure.
But even disc games these days barely have the whole game on a disc. The day-one patches are so large that it would be possible for third party developers to use that to prevent future compatibility. Just delete the day-one patch from availability and you would be able to kill all the old games.
You are correct that Microsoft and Sony would not do this. But third party just might try, at least once.

Yes, it would be too expensive for the mass market initially. But Microsoft would rather get the foot in the door early since they already lost this gen. And to get a VR-capable console just might be important.
As for PS5, well I expect it to be 2-3 years away, as theorised a few times already. And Sony would have a new PSVR2 to go with it, no doubt.
Personally I prefer the in-store pickup option. I would rather not trust delivery drivers when possible.
If I was a gambling man I would have taken you on the offer, if only because Sony already told you they would not.If the same disc installs on both consoles you can rest assured that it is not a "new gen" MS are not doing "new gens" anymore. They have changed to an iterative model. And you can bet your arse Sony will follow suit.
PS5 in 2 years? Good luck.

Like said earlier in the thread, probably stolen from a lorry / warehouse / distribution center. Definately not bought through legitimate means anyway.I'm still confused how the fuck someone got a retail console that hasn't even been announced yet. I mean, it's not even a shoddy factory form fit like you see in iPhone threads, it's a fully packaged retail box.
Just... how?
When then announce it, they'll probably do a SEGA Saturn 'available now!' or somethingI'm still confused how the fuck someone got a retail console that hasn't even been announced yet. I mean, it's not even a shoddy factory form fit like you see in iPhone threads, it's a fully packaged retail box.

In fact, the only reason Microsoft tried to make Scorpio is because they NEED Sony to follow them. That is literally the only thing Sony could do that would give Microsoft a chance. Sony would have to be suicidal to give up its current lead in game consoles to chase Microsoft's machine. That's what Microsoft wants, so I guess what you are trying to say is Sony is stupid?
Scorpio's very existence is a trap, a trap for Sony to give up its current lead and profitable hardware. But a trap so obvious that Sony would not fall for it.
Ha ha what are you talking about?
It's not about chasing anyone. The shift in business model is to do away with hard resets, like at the beginning of a "new gen" and thus keep people in their ecosystem. Whether Sony follow suit or not is inconsequential to the game MS want to play.
And that last bit... Jinkies your Jimmy's are certainly rustled.
You keep talking about doing away with hard resets, and yet the Scorpio is suppose to be 4.5 times more powerful than XB1.
Yes, backwards compatibility is going to be a thing for both companies, but I find it funny that you are denying Scorpio is meant to be a new gen. We are talking about a console so hypothetical that when it was revealed, Microsoft didn't even have a prototype to show us. Scorpio is going to be a next gen console that is being released too early, and that means it would be somewhere near the PS3 price range. That's MS's choice, but Sony isn't going to sell overpriced consoles any more.
Jesus wept.
There will be no "Xbox One games" there will be no "Xbox Scorpio games" there will just be"Xbox games"
The same disk will work on both boxes, just like how the same PC game runs on a PC with a GTX 680 and a PC with a GTX 1080.
That bolded part is gold.
Someone deciphered Arabic in the manual that was shown, suggesting that this was a batch released to the Middle East.
It amazes me how people got their hands on an unannonced (but expected) retail product and we still don't have a fucking clue what the NX is.
Microsoft can do what they like, it is their company. I am just amused that you are so sure Sony would magically dance to MS's tune when they have no reason to. Sony have their own plans.
Can Sony release a new console that is 4.5 times more powerful than the PS4? Sure. But why would they? And why now?
It's not MS's tune, it's the inevitability of x86 architecture
Probably because at some point you just decide function > form and you have such an absurd lead over your competitor that the way the cheaper, slim version of your console looks isn't really going to affect sales.
XBO S is marketed as an improved XBO with 4K UHD playback support. Slim will more than likely just be the new, cheaper PS4 with the Neo basking in the limelight. Best to hold out judgement on Sony's designs until we see the Neo.
The Middle East only just recently unveiled its own rating systemWhy would a Middle Eastern console have a PEGI rating on its packaging?
Sony will release PS5 when it becomes affordable for the consumer, and not before. Microsoft is free to release their Scorpio console at any time and at any price of their choice.
