Console Specs Compared: Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, Switch, And More

@crusadernights:

Premium pricing, in retail terms, stands from 500 dollars plus.

Console pricing at 500 when Xbox one Kinect was released was called premium by every retailer and site. Same with the ps3 launch .

I.e it will not be under 500 dollars.

If you say 699, you're looking at a pc of that power. Which isn't what a console aims at. A console aims at a lower price point than pc.

Digital foundry also did a price comparison of gpu relativity. They said the Scorpio would at most land around 100 dollars more than the PS4 Pro.

Which makes sense in terms of specs and everything MS has said so far.

Haha also, I'm sure the 'premium price' comment is clever marketing. They want to keep the Xbox one s selling hot. It's doing so well, it must have been successful as a tactic.

@wayneextremity: Have you had a chance to try out the Oculus I hear its awesome.

@simplytheebest: 3840x2160 which high end PC's run at 30 FPS.

1440p is (2560x1440) which can be run at 30, 60 or 120 FPS or more on a high end PC.

The names 2K and 4K are just very misleading.

No games will run natively at 4K for either console at a decent frame rate. Have you ever tried playing 4K with 10FPS stutters, it's horrible. Also, 4K is minor, it's a very small deal and a fad because you won't notice the difference unless you're actually sitting right in front of the TV. 2560x1440 at 60 or 120 FPS and then throw in all the updates to different lightning techniques and masks applied and i'll be one happy gamer.

For any idiot who actually keeps saying 1080p is 2K, it's NOT!

720p = 1280x720
1080p = 1920x1080 Full HD, FHD, HD, High Definition
WUXGA = 1920x1200
2K = 2,048x[unspecified] (usually on projectors)
UHD = 3,840x2,160 Ultra HD, Ultra-High Definition
"Cinema" 4K = 4,096x[unspecified]

It's only being called 4K because the gaming industry is popularizing the term since it sounds better than 2160p

@simplytheebest: No one is running 1440p TV's. Your choices will be either 1080p or 2160p. *If* Scorpio is actually as speculated at around 6tflops ( about the same as a 980ti (ish)) then it can probably handle many games at 4k at around 30fps (ish). Real 4k, not the fake 4k that PSPro is doing. And then 1080p games at 60fps (ish). Which features will be enabled for each resolution TBD to maintain those fps marks.

@simplytheebest: I guess its the HDR thats a game changer- so expensive though

@mikemurphy80:It's not, 1080p is Full HD, FHD, HD, High Definition.

@mikemurphy80: In what world is 1080p - 2k?

@mikemurphy80: Since it seems that you feel strongly about people getting educated. Here's one for you.

This PC is about (25-50%) better than the PS4P, can't compare it to scoprio since i don't know the specs.

The point is that you don't even need to do this, you can get a similar PC prebuilt with windows already installed for $300 USD from tigerdirect, newegg, or various other sites (monitor included), buy your own graphics card and put it in and you'll end up under $500.

This PC can play 4K but it won't be a stable 30 FPS and neither will the consoles, you need a high end graphics card for that, 2 would be best actually lol :)

@ravensmeal: If telling yourself that makes you somehow feel special, then carry on!
