There has been a lot of misinterpretation by the media and consumers alike regarding the recently announced Xbox Scorpio specs and how it compares to the PS4 Pro. I've been hearing things like "Xbox Scorpio's massive power advantage..." or "the Xbox Scorpio specs blow the PS4 Pro's specs away..." etc which is not true. There is no question that the Scorpio will have more raw horsepower than the PS4 Pro, but if the reveal by Digital Foundry told us one thing, it's that the Xbox Scorpio is not a radical departure in hardware from the current consoles on the market.
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
The premium Sony Inzone earbuds are designed for PC and PS5, and they're finally getting a discount after launching in late 2023.
These seems like one of the best options for use with a PS5, high quality sound and design. However, you will likely need a dongle for use with many of your bluetooth devices such as an iPhone as it requires a LE signal.
The only purpose I could see me buying them is that they would be more comfortable to wear with PSVR2 compared to their Pulse/Pulse Elite over the head/over the ear cup headphones.
The use of “stellar” in the title made my dyslexic brain think there was a stellar blade exclusive limited edition or something.
Teeehee.
The first three Tomb Raider games are coming to an Evercade Cartridge!
Their newer giga cart tech should make for even bigger games coming to the platform. I'm hoping for a Resident Evil collection with the first 3 games.
The truth is that the Pro will as usual pump out great spectacular looking games. While the scorpio is a very powerful console.
Great article that hits the nail on the head. Though, the real difference will come from the extra memory in the Scorpio. Around 8GB of which can be used for higher resolution textures, compared to the Pros 5.5GBs that is usable by developers. Though, its up to developers to use that extra memory and power. Which most third parties will probably go the way of the Pro and offer just resolution boosts, with extra fps from the better CPU.
Overall, the Scorpio will be the more powerful machine... though, we may not see that difference unless Microsoft pays a third party to specifically use that power, or a game is made specifically for it by one of its first party houses. Which is where Sony has the advantage, due to the number of first party devs it owns.
I own a Pro and will probably pass on the Scorpio. Though, that will depend on the games and Sonys target date for the PS5. I already have a big enough backlog on the PS4 and Pro, So, I cant imagine having two systems.
The good thing for gamers is, no matter which you own... you are going to be seeing some amazing games this fall and winter.
You want the truth? "You can't handle the truth!" In the voice of Jack Nickolson
Lol why do these guys keep limiting Scorpios worth?
There will be a clear difference in the way games run and look regardless next to the pro.
Third parties too will use the ease of use for games it's all been discussed by digital foundry,Gears of war and Forza devs.
This isn't like a conspiracy or nothing so why is this guy downplaying stuff?
History shows if there's a technical advantage there for a console it will be shown.
I found weird the Pro got crap for using a current gen CPU but not the Scorpio.
