All it is? Quite honestly for the last two and half years this is all we've heard. Power! Frames! Resolution! Did all of those things suddenly become unimportant? Isn't this what gamers are constantly complaining about? Isn't better performance is what gamers asked for? All it is? Unless I've missed something gamers made it seem like these points were all that mattered. Even to the point of sacrificing everything else about gaming.
I'm not downplaying power given what has occurred this gen. I've also said many times that power regardless if visible by me and many others seems to have had a big impact. So I never said it's unimportant. I'm saying is that the way to mark what is next gen and what isn't when both neo and Scorpio will be playing the same multi plats, etc.
There's a power difference between xo and ps4, but we don't say there different gens, just different power.
As for exclusives, adoption will have the greatest impact on this policy. Plain and Simple. This entire argument will be decided upon this one defining point.
Precisely what I have said, I fully expect that once there are enough machines out to make it worth while that I expect exclusives to happen. Regardless of what the companies are currently saying. That's my view though, not what the company line is though. As both Sony and MS are saying no exclusives.
Neo could take somewhat longer, naturally because the PS4 has the larger install base and still enjoys robust sales that quite honestly have it locking in close to 60% marketshare of the console gaming space. And aside from being the market leader they also have a very satisfied user base. It's not the same with Xbox One users, for them the Scorpio can't get here soon enough.
Scorpio could more easily eclipse the X1's install base. And that's probably because a considerable percentage of the X1 install base will very likely make a mass exodus to Scorpio when it becomes available. The X1' s community reaction to Scorpio was almost rabid and will probably fiercely adopt the better console if priced for serious market penetration. It may also as iroboto stated, bring back some of the Xbox base that fell by the way side after the backlash of 2013.
So exclusives will happen when the conditions are right for them.
I'll just respond to this as a block.
One minute everyone is saying that a new console from ms is a mistake because it would upset the current xo owners, now your saying they we're all dying for it?
I think that most of the actual owners of xo and ps4 are happy. That doesn't mean they won't upgrade though.
10mill may upgrade from ps4 and xo, but obviously as a percentage of their user base that would be smaller for Sony. Doesn't mean xo owners were less happy, just means that the core gamers from both sides was willing to upgrade.
I think you've mid understood my posts, I've not once said who would sell better or worse, or if the power difference will make Scorpio a massive hit, or the potential price make it a flop.
I've just found that when people talk about the positive and negatives of neo and Scorpio, that most of the time it applies to both consoles.
