I'm still waiting for the price tags of these two projects as there is no way it will cost less that $500 to have "continuous" 4K gaming as one of the chips that can perform such a feat and has such specs cost over 800 dollars...

The gaming industry is seeing some remarkable changes this generation. From the tremendous growth of digital gaming in the console landscape to mid-gen hardware additions, our hobby is maturing and escaping the confines of what was previously a rather conservative affair in comparison to other mediums. Sony, by confirming that it is working on an upgraded PS4 in the form of Neo and Microsoft announcing the Scorpio; these two giants in the console arena have kick started a whole new arms race much to the delight and dismay of gamers worldwide. Microsoft announced the base specifications of the Xbox Scoprio and it sure looks like a beastly machine and based on earlier leaked specs, a lot more powerful than the PlayStation Neo. However, you may wish to hold off on thinking everything is set in stone just yet. In an interview with French gaming site JeuxVideo, when asked how Sony would handle a 2 TFLOP disadvantage in favour of Microsoft’s new machine, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CEO Jim Ryan stated that those so-called facts were based on rumours that were fairly speculative in their nature and that people should talk once the final specs of the two consoles are actually announced. When confronted about the possibility that the 2TFLOP advantage might be true, Jim Ryan just laughed it off repeatedly, in a maniacal manner that would make Aku from Samurai Jack proud. Have a look at the video below: So what could Sony possibly have in store? Well the popular rumour, circulated by a leaker known to popular gaming forum NeoGaf as Osirisblack suggests that we are looking at a machine that benefits from 5.5 TFLOPS as opposed to the 4.1 TFLOPS that earlier leaks suggest. At this point, its all speculation but it wouldn’t surprise me if Sony were to react to the Scorpio by changing the specs of the Neo to bridge the gap in power between the two upcoming consoles. There are however other factors such as price and release dates. The sooner the Neo comes out, the higher the price of the console to match the higher specs. Many are expecting the Neo to either be launched at the holiday period this year or early next year. Needless to say, the mid-gen hardware arms race is well and truly under way. Microsoft laid their cards early and therefore Sony are well within their rights to make adjustments to limit any disadvantage they might face. We might get more concrete information from Sony at their Gamescom conference in Germany in August. Source | ||

but then you realize the 480 is a $199 GPU and the PS4 wont be released for at least another 12-18 months. So yeah, hype is dead, consoles are underpowered yet again and are on par with a mid-end gpu from 12-18 months before their release If they really want to push 4k it will be fully cinematic at 24fps | ||

Seriously, if it weren't for FFXV and FF7 remake this would feel like such a waste of $ for me. I can't even imagine dropping an additional $100 USD just for Pro, as a casual regular person who doesn't play console games much. Yea $299 USD = nearly $400 CAD *sigh you also get the new guilty gear before pc as well as probably the new blazblue! (still probably a huge waste of money, but cmon, ff15 and ff7. ff15 will probably be genre defining!!! [i hope]) | ||

I'm primarily getting it for like, Uncharted 4, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III, etc. FFXV seems like it runs better on the Pro so I'm leaning towards that, but any thoughts? I don't have a 4K TV but I am interested in VR, although I don't know if I'd get my own headset anytime soon. | ||

I've been really impatient about this announcement but to be honest its a really disappointment. Nothing justifies it's price. I don't understand why they rushed it out... I think I'm going to buy a 2nd hand PS4 off of someone who gets one of these at a good price with all the games which came out these last 2 1/2 years... EDIT: TBH you'll probably be able to find 1st generation PS4's at a ridiculous price even in stores soon, as they are going to want to get rid of them and sell the new ones. | ||

Slim is too expensive compared to the base model when it is supposed to be the cheaper option. | ||

At this point i think the Scorpio reveal (Supposedly Polaris at 6Teraflops) pretty much freaked out Sony because the PS4 pro was looking pretty underpowered, so they rushed it to actually take advatange from it (without a freaking 4k blu ray player while the $100 cheaper Xbox One S has 1, what the actual fuck) I mean, even the PS guys were incredibly boring and not impressed with that they were trying to show Pretty much a stop gap through and through for a mid 2018 reveal of the PS5 | ||

I just came back from my local EB Games, my 120 GB PS3 slim still has trade in value, plus some promotion of additional credit going towards the pre-order of either the PS4 slim or Pro. Honestly, I think just getting the slim (or even a regular PS4) will suffice. I'm going to assume you guys getting a PS4 Pro are hardcore console gamers? | ||

seems to me that games will still aim for 30fps but pretier, they actually said that multiplayer games will function equally across both platforms | ||
