c'mon there was a thread mentioning how much more powerful Scorpio was than the XB1 "old laptop..."and the thread was spun to how MS is screwing original XB1 owners over instead of being excited about game possibilities because...this is a gaming forum?
This gen I have owned a WiiU, XB1 and Ps4.
Now I only have a PS4 Pro because I prefer the ecosystem, better sales on PSN and lack of tax on digital games.
I do however find it comical that it can be posted how much superior Ps4 is to Xbox when they play mostly the same library and game difference have to be explained to us by Digital Foundry most of the time. Probably the main eason to choose either system if it is not a money issue should be preference of their first party offerings
The PS4 is stronger, but the hardware for both of them is underwhelming.
Back on topic, I'm very curious about how the Pro did. In Canada the EBgames trade in promotion was insane but I still see Pro's in any store I go to.
I sort of agree but you got to understand that it's all Microsoft fault. They launched one of the worst consoles in history in terms of OS, price, Kinect and PR. Then the many price drops, fire sales. Confusing messaging. Early Scorpio announcement...
Yes they are doing progress in building a better image for their brand but the situation they're in with Xbox is entirely their fault.
On the other hand you got Sony who's a worldwide brand that resonates with a lot more people, Sony's messaging was simply amazing from the first reveal, the price is right, games from all kinds, gamer friendly with events like PSX.
Their timing and strategy is simply incredible, they are very aggressive and on point with their console and that's why people praise them as much. From my perspective, Sony are doing many things right.
Not saying Microsoft are not doing anything but people will always compare before buying consoles and in this case the Xbox One is pretty similar to PS4. The majority chose the PS4 for the reasons i listed. I guess their strategy works.
