Sure but it's still being outsold. If they want to get on top, they need 1S to be more desirable. There's no way to do that (other than price - see above).
But in the USA it is the most desirable. In other countries it isn't but then again neither was the xbox 360 and yet MS still managed to virtually tie sony
Meaning? Is PS4 statically priced? Does Scorpio becoming a $250 console invite every PS4 owner to switch out to Scorpio?
The ps4 has a lower boundry and that is above the ps4 price. So at some point the PS4 pro will eat into the ps4 sales. Right now its a $100 difference and I don't see it shrinking. The xbox one s is $300 but we don't know the price difference between the S and Scorpio. At Scorpio launch the One could be $200 and Scorpio $400 sandwiching the ps4s together . Neither as cheap at the low end or as powerful at the highend
That's not an argument on any point about who MS's market is going to be, just a dig at Sony.
Its not a dig at sony. Its about customers who want the best experience and they will choose scorpio.
At the high-end price, so it won't be outselling Sony.
The high end price right now is what the pro is priced at. Scorpio at the pro price point of 2017 wil outsell it
These what-if answers are really silly. What if Sony adds foveated rendering in PSVR2? Just as possible. What if VR dives and everyone moves on?
Sony could add it in PSVR 2 and then sony will support PS4 , PS4 pro , Ps4 with psvr , PS4 with Psvr 2 , PS4 pro with psvr , Ps4 pro with psvr 2. Ps5 ??? With psvr 1 , PS5 with psvr 2..... Seems to be a lot of balls rolling. Or does sony start killing products off a year or two into their life ?
Add to that , MS is going to have shipping partner products with inside out tracking coming early next year. They already are demoing the future. MS can make a stream line package. You want a low end entry price , you get xbox one s. You want high end gaming you get Scorpio , you want high end + VR get Scorpio and the headset. No confusion , no one getting left behind. A simple marketing message.
Everyone's going to swap brand allegiance from PS to XB because of Game TV services? You predict when Scorpio releases, MS will end up outselling Sony worldwide driven by this? Is this the same thing as PSTV and game streaming to other rooms, which Sony already has? Are you predicting that it's of little interest to Sony consumers but MS doing it with the latest codecs is going to make the market jump at the opportunity?
Not everyone will switch. Millions stayed with ps3 for some crazy reason.
I am talking about Twitch and Beam. I am talking about including the tools and hardware that elgato has built into the higher end boxes. I am talking about MS adding hardware support for custom codecs beyong vp9 and h.265 and so on . And yes it will bleed into in house streaming since that currently takes up a ton of bandwidth being able to compress the image more while keeping quality up will allow more people to take advantage of it.
There is an increasingly bigger audience that gets their information from streamers and streamers will want to produce the best stream for the lowest price. I believe MS will tap into that with their purchase of Beam and Scorpio .
