The PS4 Pro was released on November 10th, 2016 at a pricepoint of $ 399 at 4.2 tflops.
That's the more logical answer honestly, as much as I'd like to believe some more extravagant scenario, this will most likely end up being the closest generation ever power wise, unless someone decides to take a huge loss on hardware early on.
No this time they can't. Because this time different sources has reported Sony target the same. And the simple fact Spencer has never talk of more powerful console on the market should tell a lot. It's ridiculous to think the X is more power just because MS want it. With an year later and an higher price, what company won't be unable to release a more powerful console of the counterpart?
Sony made the most powerful console a year before the 1X and Microsoft did the same a year after the Pro, they also made the most powerful console at the start of the gen and actually being $100 cheaper, so this "Sony doesn't invest in their hardware as much as MS" narrative is laughable, you also don't know their next gen plans to say they don't want the most powerful console.
Playstation Experience is/was a multi-day convention for fans.
It means 3rd party won't be held back.
So you think it's ok to attack Klobrille but you feel you have to defend Matt?
Or they could just go all in and do everything at E3 to try and one-up Microsoft, but I think your idea is far more likely.
Not all Xbox fans are hard-core Xbox fans. I'm not generalizing ..there is Xbox fan who play on Xbox because he/she likes games, os, controller.. likes how good xbox looks. And there is a fan... who's extreme invested in all things Xbox/Microsoft. I'm mean it's probably true love to corporation no matter what. And of course same goes for PlayStation. I aware it's just percentage from all demografic. So no.. no generalization..
I'm repeating myself: you're ignoring that Sony did exactly what you proclaim they cannot do. As a market leader, they released the Pro, a more expensive console than their base offering, which was targeted to a specific segment of the market. Why do I even need to clarify this to you? This is so far removed from my initial point. As for Microsoft, it would be more willing to take a loss than sell at a higher price point, this isn't about shifting towards a more niche demographic. If anything, it's more about optics for Xbox. Seriously, this isn't what I was even talking about but now I'm humoring your fantastical reimagining of Xbox's direction for their console business. Again, I don't doubt Sony could have matched the X but they didn't, so who cares if they could? It also doesn't matter if the Pro was a single year apart from the X because Sony sold this console as being capable of something it could barely and rarely pull off. This just makes Sony look incompetent, I don't know how you're jury-rigging this into a defense of the Pro and Sony's lack of investment into that piece of hardware.
Sony made the most powerful console. Its target was 4k gaming. It couldn't really do 4k gaming. By definition, the console was pointless. Sony made the most powerful console at the beginning of the generation because Microsoft put out a media box. Next.
Who attacked Klob exactly? People rightfully told him that his info was false. And than he started being an ass to Matt.
Somewhere around that time yeah, although I could see it being a bit earlier so we don't have a scenario where holiday 2020's big games release in October while the PS5 and Anaconda are still 2-3 weeks away.
It really does depend on their goals, if the reports of Microsoft first party games being cross-gen for a while are true then, of course, they're going to be held back but that period will end in 1-2 years max and then they'll move on. There is some potentially exciting chatter that 3rd-party publishers aren't worried this time around unlike last gen so expect to see more 3rd-party next-gen only games and just them not getting hindered by Lockhart is massive news.
I'd say the September - November window is most likely. I myself am saving up for a better monitor, and then I'll start saving for the console.
The Wired article from Cerny already shows a deviation from the PS4's initial rollout so I don't think it's going to be the same the rest of the way. Honestly, it's a boring expectation so I also just don't want it to happen that way. :p
You mean, kinda like what they did with the PS4? It is going to be interesting to see how the two full reveals play out this time around considering Microsoft seems to be going all-in on games and nowhere near as much on TV TV TV.
I could see them go the Nintendo route and do an extended State of Play instead of a traditional conference.
Because of what you just said it makes me even more sad to witness those kind of conversations I ranted about.
449$ in 2019 is actually more or less 399$ in 2013 adjusted to inflation.
The good news is you'll still get to drop $499 on a new Xbox next year. 🤷♂️
