If you are thinking the Scorpio is going to be $400 than you are fucking delusional.
If you think the Scorpio is going to be a Xbox console you are also fucking delusional.

Scorpio can only be a Premade PC akin to mac books. designed solely to run Windows 10 and it's games.

It will be steeply priced.

>how is Microsoft able to do this???
Because they are leaving the console market.
>>
This is a company that bought LinkedIn for 27 billion (more than what sony is worth) just for the fuck of it.

They can and will do as they please. If you think Sony can compete, you're delusional.

The only reason they didn't have a powerful Xbox was because of kinect. Now that they have full pc focus, you can bet your ass they're going for Sony's head

Seems you are the delusional party my friend.

A console is simply a closed system PC already.

Microsoft will never leave the "console" meme power behind. There are still many people who would rather buy a shit machine with no assembly required, than purchase a PC with all it's minor complications.
>>
>>342176287
By lying of course.
Also teraflops are a virtually useless measure of power, given the fact they're just a measure on how many numbers per second the videocard can process on the best case scenario.
>>
PSNEO is rumored to be 500$. That's why they didn't reveal it. Scorpio will be 500$ but have the benefit of a trillion dollar company behind it.

22 first party games are being developed for Scorpio . 22. Who knows which are third party deals. MS is hopefully back to bankrolling the industry . We might even see lost Odyssey 2.

Thank God. Sony really wasted their lucky gen, with nothing but promises. They'll be going bankrupt soon. Good riddance.
>>
>>342176734
Scorpio ain't a console. It's a PC. It is the only logical explanation as to why Microsoft would just up and drop all of their exclusives.
Also they ain't selling no 6 teraflop console on to the market not have it get priced up the ass.
Especially when there would still be no reason to own it due to lack of Exclusivity.
>>
>>342176634
That was for tax reasons, anon.

They needed to bring in offshore money, they can do it tax free by offsetting the loss made on LinkedIn.

But as you said, it goes to show just how much of a behemoth Microsoft is.
>>
>>342176627
Even if it does release for $400 you better believe that they'll find other ways to fuck with the console and/or charge more for using it. I wonder if the online fees for the new console will be higher,

It's not that's how. 4K at 60fps? it would need a 1080 AT LEAST. And that price point? they would literally be giving BoneS away.

People still bought ps4 despite it having no games. Don't lie to yourself pretending people give a shit about obscure panty sim games. They want the most powerful console that can play FIFA and cod. That's how sony sold the ps4.

And ita how MS burries the hole sony dug for itself.

4K is mostly texture dependent anon. Old games like that won't need brand new GPUs to run 4k at 60fps. Emulation adds no extra work to GPU only CPU.
>>
>>342177498
Sony knows this and that's why they made the neo. To sway people away from pc.

Sad that Sony doesn't benefit from people going pc like Microsoft does. It will be nice seeing all the sonygger tears when sony dies though. Sega style

For those of us who choose not to use 4K or VR will get the most benefit from this. Just imagine how smooth our games will run. Believe it or not but 1080p still looks really good, especially with the new TVs coming out they take advantage of 1K pixels.

As of right now Sony is worth 69 billion, and net worth can change for companies on a weekly basis. Conclusion you're a fucking moronic shit poster

It's true though.

Actually 4k does hit every single thing of the videocards with a brick to the face.
ROPs, memory, shader units, you name it.
It's 4 times the work on anything pixel based.

IF they did go bankrupt Microsoft would probably buy them out, suck up all their patents and R&D divisions, and then keep the Playstation going by making it a 3rd party hardware maker for PC/Console hybrids.

I actually think MS has the balls to bump it down to $399. Think about it the OG Xbox one will be $199. The S will be $299. And the Scorpio will be $399. And your right about Sony just banking on promises. They pulled a Destiny.

Microsoft is going to lie about 4k 60fos the same way sony lies about 1080p 60fps.

A teraflop is 1 trillion of floating point operations per second.
The actual usefulness of the operation by itself and if the GPU can perform as well while doing other operations is disregarded.

Xbox 360 had a custom built CPU unlike Xbox One which has an x86 processor which is universally standard in PCs. Many PC elitist cucks claim that the current gen maxed out upon launch because x86 is easy to program for, thus reaching pinical of graphics early on --- compared to Xbox 360's CPU which had a learning curve, thus explains why Gears 3 looks so much better than Gears 1.

But where PCucks didn't realize is that Uncharted 4 basically blows every game in existence out of the water (except for Skyrim graphical mods). PCucks forgot to realize that if you give developers a set of hardware they can master it over time because game engines are constantly improving.

Ps4 also has Cod and Fifa so you make no fucking sense.
The Japanese games are just added bonus.
Making the system far from no games and more along the lines of "all of the games" Since Microsoft doesn't have a Japanese market. as well as the rest of the world outside of america and Europe. Sony has all that covered though.
>>
>>342182125
Game engines are constantly improving. They can take an early gen release and relaunch it years later making it look much better. All the new lighting, shaders, and particle effects give new life to games. It won't improve on a resolution level but on an artistic level.
>>
>>342178582
Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7 and soon windows 8 and 8.1.
Only reason people ain't jumping onto W10 is thier inane ideas that they are somehow safer from the NRA on their older OS' When that was never the case. Instead of blindly believing you are not being spyed on but in all reality are. You are pretty much being told you are being spyed on.
Only difference between the current 3 main Windows Os being used besides performance.
>>
>>342181910
From a programming standpoint, x86, PPC,ARM, its all the same shit because everyone just use C.
Its on the GPU that the action is, and most of the "learning" is actually hardware independent.
The difference between gears 1 and 3 are mostly on all the fragment shaders that were invented during this time period.

>Uncharted 4 basically blows every game in existence out of the water
I have to say I disagree with this statement.
I think Uncharted 4 looks good but I don't feel like it looks spectacularly better than any of the other AAA releases that came out in the last year.
In fact I would say its not even the best looking game on the PS4. I would give that title to either TLoU Remastered or the new Battlefront.

>>342178048
