Let me elaborate, my statement was more towards the comments and posts that there is only 40 percent more gpu and ten percent cpu. That there wouldn't be much difference. There's a much bigger difference in real world benchmarks. If I could pay one hundred dollars more and buy a gpu with twice the performance I wouldn't think twice. I didn't expect this difference and many others didn't either.
You also comment about a year later and 100 dollars more and then bring up the ps3 vs the Xbox to etta. That the 360 won the most of df videos. This conflicts with the point you just made to me. Yes a year later and 100 dollar increase should offer more performance but that hasn't always been the case, and thus isn't a small increase in power. It's not a few lines of resolution it's like 100 percent performance increase in multiple games.
Backing up my point that I don't think anyone, I surely never read it, predicted this kind of performance gap
There is a major difference in the year later/$100 more argument when looking at the PS3/360...
The architecture was insanely different between the two consoles...AND the PS3 shipped with a Bluray drive...stand alone BD players were selling for over $900 when the PS3 launched!
And, while the PS3 lost out in multiplatform comparisons, I think it's safe to say that the overall better looking games came out on the PS3...I don't think any 360 games even matched Killzone, let alone Uncharted or TLoU...
The XboneX and PS4 Pro have strikingly similar architecture...same CPU family, same GPU family, same type of RAM, and in the same configurations...
The PS4 pro was a very conservative evolution of the existing PS4, that was very obviously designed to hit a certain pricepoint....MS made much more drastic changes, and is giving you a box for $100 more...
Do I as an enthusiast wish Sony went that route? I would have paid the extra money certainly, but they had different plans for the pro, than MS seems to have with the X...
PS5 vs Xbone2 will be very interesting considering potential time frames for release...Sony obviously doesn't want MS to have such a clear hardware advantage for too long...so when does the PS5 hit?...how long does MS wait to respond?...
I would think the chances of the PS5 and Xbone2 launching at the same time are slim at this point, unless MS doesn't care about the life span of the XboneX
