By that logic, the PS4 Pro serves absolutely no purpose then.

It pretty much does. I don't know one person in my circle that has a Pro and I know atleast 10 people that have a ps4 and its either the slim or the OG.

I think you will see significant gains after the holiday season. The number 1 blocker right now seems to be people not having 4k HDR TVs of decent quality. Once those black friday sales hit or those holiday bundles One X + 4k TV i think you'll see more and more people getting on the new wave.

Xbox already has the GOAT controller. Now it has the GOAT hardware. All that's left is games.

You have to be trolling at this point. :mjlol:
No way are you going from thread to thread spitting lies with a straight face.

"there are two different systems available for purchase a $500 model with a 20GB HDD and a $600 model with a 60GB HDD"

:francis: did you even read what you posted?

Oh my bad.
I forgot that "your circle" was the voice of the general public.
There's plenty people on this board alone that have upgraded from an OG PS4 to a PS4 pro and I'm sure the PS4 Pro is selling fine. This idea that the general public doesn't care about hardware is completely false. Just because you, and "your circle" doesn't care about something doesn't mean it doesn't matter, especially to the rest of the world.

:gucci:Oh so you weren't trolling and now you're being pedantic while completely missing the point of the response to begin with.
:whoo:Yeesh your ignorance is impressive.

The Xbox X seems to be selling pretty well even outselling the Switch, and the install base is less then a 2 million difference in the U.S. between PS4 and Xbone:lupe:

:mjlol:
$500 is a very solid price point.
It's a hell of a lot better than arrogant Sony's $600 for the PS3 when it launched.
IMO for the hardware, it HAS to be more expensive than the PS4. You can't have the strongest console in existence priced at the same level as consoles with significantly weaker hardware.

We talking the PS4, not PS3.

And 500$ made it niche from the jump.

shyt, The main xbot cheerleaders don't even own an X1X. :mjlol:

He knocked the price point as if $500 is something unheard of. That was the point of the response including the price of the PS3 being $500/$600.
Even at $500 my point still stands.
How is $500 laughable when Sony stans happily paid $600?

Sony semi got away with it. Xbox can't. That thing is not gonna close a gap whatsoever. It's ova.

For what it's worth, I don't think 500 for what you get is bad. Problem is the general masses will just cop a XB1S or PS4 at 200. :yeshrug:

Same way they did the PS4 pro which is being outsold anywhere from 5:1 to 9:1 around the world. It's a niche machine and so is the X1X.

Then you agree with my initial response which was essentially that $500 is not a bad price for the XB1X.
Whether or not people will find the premium price justifiable remains to be seen.
We've seen the N64 expansion pack, Sega 32X, and Sega CD. Those were additions to base consoles.
This PS4 Pro and XB1X "half gen" that we're currently in is unprecedented and we're still a few years away from seeing whether or not these consoles "worked" from a sales stand point.
I can tell you that if MS follows through with their idea (and I think they will) that XB1X will not only be backwards compatible, but FORWARD compatible as well, the XB1X is definitely going to be the go to system given enough time.
