The original plan was to launch in 2019 but they are going with 2020 instead.
Well, you're consistent. I'll give you that.
To my, it is. Check on google shares on iPhone-only market and usage percentages. But that's not our topic of discussion.
Yes, i'm thinking the same about specs. But let's say One X 2 got 4-6 teraflops more. It is a disaster for me if we see it through the prism of a consoles that is going to sell for 7 years.
When i said "did better" i didn't mean in sales-wise at all.
I really doubt Xbox can do much more than 1-2TFs better even with a year later
Yeah I remember news like that but I think it was bullshit maybe? I'm not sure now tbh.
I can't see how a free year of development and $100 more for a price can only add 1 teraflop to a specs.
Ratio wise yes. Quantity wise no. The latest numbers has the 1X selling at about twice as much as the 1S, while the Pro is selling at 1 to 3 vs regular PS4. However, the PS4 family are selling at 100 times greater quantity than the Microsoft Box family using the very same numbers.
The bottleneck would be AMD's offering. Rumors are that many resources from RTG are dedicated to Sony's console. At best, Microsoft will get a lower priced XBox out the gate with 7nm+.
It's just one region you are talking about. Maybe I'm pointing in the sky but I really think One X is selling better than Pro in US.
Well you are free to think that way, as long as Microsoft never has to tell you the real numbers.
Me too. But my point is that One X did a new standart for the prices.
The only numbers we got. I was quoting the old 1 in 5 numbers previously and was directed there. If you got better numbers I am happy to be informed.
Almost by definition, there would be more enthusiasts in ERA than in the average gaming population. So despite you being absolutely correct, I fear your words are falling on deaf ears.
Casuals spent their $400 6 years ago. Why would they care about price now especially when they got no alternative? (assuming One X 2 will out in 2020)
Idk, BC doesn't seem like a big deal to me even though I know people love having the option to go back. I very rarely play a game that's from outside the generation we are in. But I also feel no nostalgia for basically anything.
They got an alternative. It's called the PS5 at $400. Or are you saying $500 for both console's launches? Because then they'd just wait for the first console that drops to $400. And yes, casuals ARE super price sensitive. Raise price, demand lowers. That's how it works.
Seriously this. Its like complaining that a BMW 5 series is better than an Acura ilx. The BMW has more features because it's more expensive even though they're both luxury cars. Those are aimed two different segments of the same general luxury market
You are not looking at where the money is in 2018 and beyond. All the GaaS games don't earn money from selling you the game upfront, but from microtransactions afterwards. The issue with no BC, is that suddenly the game developers will be forced to start from scratch with their games. And with all their old purchases obsolete, the old customers are then no longer needing to worry about sunk costs and are able to go and buy some OTHER GaaS game, never to return.
Yes. As I said i think One X set a stardard. As an enthusiast I hope I'm right on this, because I always want to have best picture.
the casuals are probably waiting for a $300 console with a free game. Better for Sony to aim high with the specs (maybe 600) and let the enthusiast to cushion the cost early with a 500 pricetag then slowly lower it to 400 in a year. Sounds great to promote a 100 price drop too.
The X has set a standard for mid-gen refreshes that is it. What you'll see next time around is Sony will be willing to put out a higher priced mid-gen refresh, but that's all the X would have accomplished. The only way the X would've set a standard that would've effected new-gen launches is if it started outpacing the XB1S sales, which it hasn't, not by a long shot.
I don't disagree at all. I made my post from the perspective of decision makers at Sony. It was a hypothetical situation based on the idea that Sony changed their mind at some point in the generation. Once the cow milking games became the norm, it was obvious that BC would have to be implemented.
That argument got us the PS3 "get a 2nd job" meme. Sony is not going to repeat that, they are basically knocking down everything PS3 stood for as we speak.
I'm sorry but that's the only thing I came here for. Without any leaks or announces we can only dream about how nextgen would look like.
These numbers don't really support the bolded statement:
well then why stop at $500 then, let's just dream up a $1500 console that is doing 20+TF with 32GB of GDDR6 RAM and a 2TB SSD.
Difference is their competitor has a 500 box and they could offer more PS4 exclusives in Plus that will fill up the PS5 library.
Damn, $479 basic PS5 and $499 with 1 year PS+ would be amazing offer for casuals.
You didn't tell me why the casual crowd won't buy PS5 if the price will be $500.
The 1X is not the norm in the Microsoft ecosytem. Microsoft like to pretend it is, but it isn't.
Because the casuals aren't buying the X. It's the enthusiasts.
