Microsoft: Xbox Scorpio's power advantage over PS4 Pro 'will be obvious'

One of the bigger surprises at today's Sony presser was the company's assertion that it would release a firmware update adding "HDR compatibility" to all existing PS4 consoles, going back to the platform's launch in November 2013.


Current UHD 4k industry standards require an HDMI 2.0a connection with HDCP 2.2 enabled to support HDR10 and Dolby Vision, the competing HDR standards in North America. Both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launched in 2013 with HDMI 1.4 support, which offers some support for expanded color gamuts, one component of the current HDR standards. HDMI 2.0a requires specific hardware to support HDR requirements, and while some devices can be upgraded from HDMI 2.0 to 2.0a, it's unclear if this is the case with the PS4's HDMI 1.4 output.


is means Scorpio — which Microsoft has said will feature a GPU clocked at 6 teraflops — will be approximately 43 percent more powerful on paper than Sony's system. "The performance delta will be obvious," said Penello. Other information about Scorpio remains unknown; Microsoft has touted the system's increased memory bandwidth, for example, but hasn't yet clarified whether the system will have more RAM than the existing Xbox One and Xbox One S.

Because of that power gap, Penello said Microsoft isn't especially worried about the one-year head start that the PS4 Pro will have on Scorpio. When asked about a more concrete release date, Penello reiterated the holiday 2017 timetable that Xbox head Phil Spencer announced at E3 2016.

500 dollars console you need a 4k TV to enjoy and a base of users who won't be ready to switch at a high price point


O it's gonna hurt.

People want Sony to keep up with what Microsoft is doing and abandon the system they just dropped after 3 years because xbox was trash.


But next gen starts when Sony says so

:camby:

Xbox gonna be eclipsed with ps5 and brand loyalty will prevail. No one with a brain is loyal to xbox.

No shyt the power difference will be obvious. :skip:

Will it sell though? :mjpls:

You still relying on 4K set owners to visualize the difference.

It's gonna be niche especially at the onset due to price.

Negro you know everybody and their momma will have a 4k set by black Friday

you need to stop talking like usa is the world, usa is backwards technology wise. a lot of countries have 4k sets and disposable income to purchase 4ktv's

how is MS abandoning xbox one, when xbox scorpio shares the same games as xbox one and has no exclusives?

They need games mainly exclusives to back up those claims. They gotta keep building their first party games. Maybe a sunset 2 for scorpio or a new third person squad shooter game. If MS would've done this from the jump they would be caking now

If they go all in it will probably split the fanbase. Something will have to give. I rather them go all in with the scorpio but they will try to please both crowds

Will there be new games with this power advantage?:jbhmm: This generation has boiled down to handful of new IPs and remasters. I don't care about increased fidelity of these new consoles, Give me some games.:stopitslime:
This. All this shyt pointless without anything taking advantage of the hardware
