@bubba_666: We want the best gamng experience possible.
Do you save a little money and go for a PS4 Pro, or do you invest 25% more to get circa 50% more power, 50% more memory, 40% more bandwith, faster HD, Dolby Atmos, 4K Blu Ray, better online network, better services, better digital prices etc?
Considering you spend 86% of your gaming time playing multiplataforms (and not considering Xbox exclusives), don't you think that 25% is a bargain for a much better gaming experience?
Do you read Digital Foundry? Every game runs better on Scorpio. PS4 is the worst already (PSN is bad and sound is crap, no Dolby Atmos). Xbox X graphics makes Ps4 look like crap.
Digital Foundry: "Regardless, the fact is that both Rise of the Tomb Raider and F1 2017 are adopting native 4K rendering in situations where PS4 Pro is checkerboarding instead, and that's a comparison point we really didn't expect to see. After all, this represents is a 2x increase in the native rendering resolution between Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, from hardware with a 43 per cent increase in compute power and a 50 per cent uplift in memory bandwidth".
"...but certainly based on the titles we've seen so far, the delineation between the two Xbox models looks far more clear cut - Xbox One X is the console for your 4K screen".
Only idiots hope that PS4 could do better than the X, a far superior console.
And what about games? Is it your argument to brace yourself?
First, next holiday let's play some games you can't on PS4: Path of Exile, Black Desert, Gigantic, Cuphead, PUBG, Lucky's Tale, Forza 7...
Second, your gaming experience is just 14% about exclusives and basically PS4 has the best games in just two genres: RPG and action-adventure. Two genres for morons that don't have skill enough to play competitive games. Games that you play once (7 hours campaigns) and never more.
But let's check the BEST, NEW, EXCLUSIVE games of most genres (objective criterion, like Metacritic):
Racing: Forza (Horizon 3, Motorsport 7. Choose).
Fighting: Killer Instinct
TPS: Gears of War 4 (or Sunset Overdrive).
Motion/Movement: D4 or FRU (choose once again)
Musical: Fantasia Music Evolved
Plataformer: Ori and The Blind Forest
RTS: Halo Wars 2
The list goes on. What is better on PS4?
Scorpio seems to be great, Xbox Live is the best online network as well (faster, matchmaking, dedicated servers for gaming and chat etc) and it has better services (like Xbox Game Pass, EA Access etc).
And you really don’t know the best experience beyond your PS4. Dolby Atmos doesn’t matter? Really? Let’s take a look:
And Captain Obvious comes to save Gamespot: “Yes, it will be much better than PS4 PRO in every aspect: resolution, performance, stability, textures, lighting, shadows, filtering and Dolby Atmos”.
Based on Phil Spencer's interwiews and statements about "greatest investment in new IP ever made" and "new games to be announced", is the 2018 a year beyond Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2? Are there more exclusives coming and Spencer's recent visit to Japan gives us a hint?
Speed: Live is faster, based not only on how quickly players could connect to a gaming network, but also on how quickly gaming tasks could be completed (lag, matchmaking, load times, logging in and getting friends into a game). Live is overall quicker at uploading data and letting players log in.
Reliability: Live takes less time to log into each network, prioritizing initiation speeds and simplified processes. That makes it better to start matches and restart after eventual fall.
Example: Halo 5 Warzone takes just 8 seconds to find a 24 players match. Nothing (!) on PS4 can do the same. And the difference happens with every other game, multiplataform or not.
Chat: 16 players group and dedicated servers. Not by chance, Xbox is known as the best place to play online and integrate players. Voice is crystal clear. If your connection fails anyway, maybe just your chat or gaming falls, but rarely both.
Recovery: if Xbox Live has a problem, Azure is there to restabilish servers needed. Do you temember 2015 christmas, when both networks were attacked? Live was up again after a few hours (2), while PSN took more than 3 days. By the way, PSN is the only network that has to suspend activities for maintenance (is it 21th century yet?).
Download speed: the difference is incredible. Try yourself: download the same game on both networks, the same time. Live is faster, much faster. But once again: you must get out of your dome and see what is going on beyond PSN.
@magnusopus: So just another coward...LOL. You have only the PS4 and don't play the best gaming experiences out there. But the delusion is still strong within you. Once again, from Digital Foundry, read and try to accept that the PRO is crap and even has worse performances than the original PS4 (check games like Deus Ex: worse! LOL). Such a loser...
Just to make you cry once again, from Digital Foundry: "Regardless, the fact is that both Rise of the Tomb Raider and F1 2017 are adopting native 4K rendering in situations where PS4 Pro is checkerboarding instead, and that's a comparison point we really didn't expect to see. After all, this represents is a 2x increase in the native rendering resolution between Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, from hardware with a 43 per cent increase in compute power and a 50 per cent uplift in memory bandwidth".
By the way, how is your "Shadow of War" experience going? Is Dolby Atmos working fine? LOL!
@magnusopus: I have both consoles. But you don't. Give me your PSN Id and check it out, loser.
Shadow of War? Yes, let's play it with the best graphics, textures, fps, 4K and...Dolby Atmos on Xbox One X! PS4 PRO? LOL! I'm playing Forza 7, Gigantic and Cuphead right now...LOL.
You're afraid and desperate because every new game will be worse on your plataform of choice. And your thinking is bizarre:
1 - do you read Digital Foundry? Every game runs better on Scorpio. PS4 is the worst already (PSN is bad and sound is crap, no Dolby Atmos). Xbox X graphics makes Ps4 look like shit.

Now you can sleep. But consciously will play the worst version of games.
@magnusopus: Anywhere, but not with the same quality (graphics, sound, Dolby Atmos and network). If you are a PS4 player, you can't play the second list and consciously will play the worst version of multiplataforms. But if you're a PC player, you probably aren't the 1% of PC players that run a better version than the Xbox X (check Steam Data). Anyway, even if you have a better PC, Sony is still crying because you don't play multiplats on the PS4 and the company loses money anyway.
