I'm surprised they didn't go all in like this with the One. They have Windows money.

X1 was created under the leadership of Mattrick, by leaps and bounds the worst boss MS's gaming division has ever had. Had someone competent been in charge it probably would have been better.

Well, speaking of CPU bottlenecking here's a Neo article I thought was a pretty good read.

http://gamingbolt.com/how-powerful-is-ps4-neo-really

But anyway, don't forget about GPGPU. Really nobody has been doing it on these consoles as far as I know but it is an option. Maybe the new hardware will spur devs to start using that method.

The 360 and PS3 were “future-proofed” with their high-end internals and it was only towards the very end of their 10-year cycles that compromises such as sub-native resolutions and 20-25 FPS framerates became the norm rather than the exception.Read more at

lol this guy is crazy,this guy is simple out of touch with reality,ever since launch the xbox 360 and PS3 struggle with resolution and frames.in fact PDZ was sub 720p on launch,games like Oblivion again sub 720p,many other on PS3 as well,to claim that by the end of their 10 year cycle is that compromises were make is a joke,COD has being sub 720p on both PS3 and 360 since 2006,the only 720p one was COD 2 on launch,many other games were sub 720p was well that dude was on a different generation to the one i was.

Using Ashes of singularity is even worse,as he claim that because the game demands a i5 that would be a problem,when Quantum Break also demand an i5 minimum yet it runs on a jaguar on XBO. Then he bring draw calls as being the issue apparently he doesn't know that console had never had problems with draw calls it was PC the ones with draw calls issues which mantle and DX12 resolve.

I've wondered about that. CPU is already a bottleneck for both of the current consoles and from what I've been hearing the next iterations of them will have the same CPU but the GPUs will be hugely beefed up. How the hell is that gonna work? Beats me. I suppose one way might be to up the GPGPU capabilities of them through the roof. Time will tell. They gotta have some kind of solution in mind.

Supposedly is not the same CPU but Zen based.

Huh, since when? And which console do you mean or is it both of them?

Not only the witcher looks better but i dare say is more optimised. I am playing the game on an ancient 7850 on a mix of medium high settings with hbao and it runs on a locked 30fps at all times

This is something I've gotten into a lot of debates with tormentos about in the past. I said that the framerate issues PS4 was having with the game were largely because of the CPU and he would claim that wasn't what it was, seeming to point to developer incompetence or laziness instead. I still maintain it absolutely must be the CPU because of the way it runs on a 7850 on PC which is the same power as the GPU in PS4. It's always driven me nuts that the devs never bother mentioning exactly what it was they did to get it running better on PS4 than it had been. I'd bet my left nut it was optimizations to the way PS4's CPU deals with the game. And although they do have it performing better now it still doesn't run as well as 7850 does it on PC.

Uhh, environments in Metal Gear don't even begin to compete with the complexity of the game world in Witcher 3.

What's your reasons for Scorpio's delay? Scorpio and NEO has similar parts with differences in the TDP management.

Sony under clocks my old Vaio laptop's Radeon HD 4650M from 550 Mhz to 450Mhz. I overclock it to 550Mhz without problems and still operates to this day i.e. still being use as a mobile blu-ray and internet streaming device with Windows 10 by my older relatives.

You need to understand when some one is saying something just to make a point,i am not saying scorpio will be delay,i am just countering Blackace argument abotu a Neo delay with the same made up argument,i wasn't implying Scorpio will be delay but simple trolling Blackace who claim neo could be delay.

6 TFs is nothing to joke about. If Scorpio pulls this off, it will easily become my 3rd party machine. At least assuming that there are 3rd party games that don't wind up on NX anyway.

Well that is IF the 6TF is true which by comment it doesn't appear to be the case 4X the xbox one is 5.2 TF not 6TF,and MS does have a tendency to over sell their specs just like they did with the xbox one vs the 360 which they claim is 10 times the difference.

Sony made the same claim about 10X the power of last gen despite not getting there either.

You missing point. Console gamers bought console so they don't have to upgrade console every 10 years.. and now we have to do that every 2 years which is same as PC.

This. when I buy a console, I expect to have the best that company is offering for the rest of the gen. I didn't lay down £400 so a few years later they can come out with a new one just because they weren't happy with it.

Nah, I'm not falling for this again. Only console I'll consider is the NX, because I doubt Nintendo will do the upgrade thing.

I don't mind upgrading my PC, with maybe this part or that every 2 or 3 years, because I do so much on it, that it's worth it. But just on a gaming machine, no, that's not me.

Wait, maybe I'm getting these numbers wrong but isn't NX supposed to be coming out 4 years after WiiU? And if the rumors are true X1.5 or whatever ya wanna call it would also be coming out 4 years after the last one. So what's the difference?

Edit: Checked an article and it put the release date for NX at March 2017. So I guess that'd be 4 1/2 years. So it would be 4 1/2 vs 4. Not much of a difference.

Nintendo are only coming out with a new console because the Wii U flopped aren't they?

And MS is only doing it because Sony is forcing their hand. And Sony is doing it to make their VR device worth a damn. And let's face it, g8 hardware sucks. These consoles are definitely not what they should have been. It looks like we'll be getting proper ones and that's a good thing.

Millions of console gamers want to game on consoles plus if they perhaps are prepared to take a loss on the HW at first it may be a cost advantage to get this console > an equal powerful PC.

@blackace: Saying it's the most powerful console is true, but you are confusing that with being the most powerful matters. They aren't the same.

lol I wonder if it will be a shock to lems when the next xbox is revealed to be more powerful than Sony's upgrade and still manages to do nothing against the PS onslaught thus far?

It's like these guys run on stupid.

These are VIDEO GAME consoles. Graphics and power matter as far as the "video" part goes but without the "games" it's all a wash.

Sony's game lineup power leverage is so monstrous right now and it's still growing! You'd have to have some serious mental issues to think hardware alone is going to turn the tide in favor of any another company at this point. Sony isn't starting fresh either, all the software they've built up to this point is going with the new version.

If all I really want a powerful multiplat machine (new inexpensive GPUs are coming out) I'd just just buy a rig and do without the XBL leach fees plus have access to more games. If the new xbox doesn't allow access to PC games then It's gone fail.

First party line up for either console is larger enough. We see Uncharted 4 only sold 2.7 million when Sony says 40 million people bought a PS4.

Most of those people i bet bought it because it had the power advantage and the right price.

Scorpio outperforms the NEO and its the same price it will win i bet money on it now.

Yeah, I bought PS4 because of its power advantage over X1. I feel kinda foolish about buying both of them now with all these rumors of new hardware about. As far as PC gaming goes I am envious of what gaming rigs can do in comparison to X1 and PS4. But if the upgraded models are truly in the 4-6 tflops range then I could care less about PC gaming. 4-6 tflops is plenty.
