@yourefakenews: You're wrong. Less than 1% of PC players run 4K (Check Steam Data) and can't use Dolby Atmos or Live, the best gaming network out there.
@yourefakenews @Mickeplask: Agreed, but there's a problem on "PC Master Race" delusion: less than 1% of PC players have a PC better than the Xbox One X (Check Steam Data: PC Master Race is a fallacy) and it's much better, in every aspect, than the PS4 PRO.
Coming up next: Star Wars Battlefront 2, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Assassin's Creed Origins, Destiny 2, Wolfenstein 2, Metro Exodus, Anthem, COD WWII, Red Dead Redemption 2...
Everything is better than PS4 PRO.
And next holiday will be awesome. Path of Exile, Black Desert, Gigantic, Cuphead, PUBG, Lucky's Tale, Forza 7...
Crossplay, MOD freedom, kb/mouse, Dolby Atmos, EA Access, Xbox Game Pass etc. #fortheplayers
@PSYCHOV3N0M: You probably don't know Dolby Atmos and how it makes your experience better.
4K Blueray is just a plus, that makes the PS4 PRO look even worse.
But the confirmation that you live in a dome is telling "that's subjective" about online network. Let's make you think just a little bit more, as you probably think the PSN is fine.
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.
@joshrmeyer: I have both consoles, dude. Give me your Gamertag and PSN Id and I will show you what I play. But I'm not a company slave. My gaming choices: every game that has an online feature I play Xbox, because it provides the best online experience (far superior than PSN in every aspect). But as almost every game has an online feature, it's almost every multiplataform on Xbox. PS4 is just for a few exclusives.
And yes, Xbox S and PS4 PRO are upscalled 4K machines, with quite the same results in not every, but in many ways.
@joshrmeyer: Your problem: you think that the world is like you. But it isn't. If you just play "exclusives" (90% of your gaming experience), that's really sad and you don't play so much. But the truth is that 86% of a gamer experience is made of multiplataforms. By the way, check the PS4 best selling list and its even more. PS4 exclusives barely sell 5% of its console numbers.
But are you considering that the S gives us the same results as the X? Is it? Maybe you're not a gamer that wants the best experience for your gaming time, but once again you're just an exception, not a rule. The Xbox S concurrent is the PS4 PRO, that has quite the same checkboarded performance.
The Xbox X has a higher level and yes, it gives us 2x better image quality than the PS4 PRO. 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." (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-hands-on-with-xbox-one-x-at-gamescom-2017).
The delusion is strong in you. Will spend the next 3 years playing the worst experience quality, consciously. That's sad and a Sony slave. Maybe you need some help...
@joshrmeyer: So your problem is the price of a console which costs $399? Is the 25% price difference your problem?
Price is an important factor. But we now have a real choice. And no. The graphics difference is greater than the original Xbox One vs PS4. Check Digital Foundry articles. The X makes 2x the PRO's graphics performance.
But let's think.
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?
Wake up from your delusional behavior and stop trying to justify yourself...
@joshrmeyer: But in this case only one point matters, upscaled or not: the X version will be much better than the PS4 PRO one, in every aspect. Graphics, performance and sound.
That "slight boost to performance" and barely upscaled 4K aren't enough to play it again. I'll wait for the Xbox X version (better resolution, better performance and Dolby Atmos) and play The Witcher 3 Expansions.
