There has been a lot of debate about the potential of upcoming “half-consoles” that Sony and Microsoft MSFT -6.77% are rumored to be making. Sony’s PS4.5, or PS4K, or NEO, seems to be more tangible, as at this point leaks have spilled nearly every detail about the system, which may be coming this fall. And though Microsoft has cautiously backed away from talking about an “Xbox 1.5,” rumor has it they are indeed testing more powerful versions of the Xbox One behind the scenes.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.
Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women as we revisit the murky depths of Tripwire Interactive's 2020's shARkPG.

Ms have to release a new console cause they are so far behind. Sony will then act seeing if the new console is a threat or sony just want to kill ms off as a rival thus allowing sony control over the market. Sony have dragged their feet this gen knowing full well they are in the lead.
Pure BS through and through.
Consoles were not ever trying to compete with PCs. Put out a top of the line console and there is a top of the line PC that still out does it. Gamers say these systems are underpowered. Compared to what other consoles? These ARE the most powerful consoles on the market right now. What are they underpowered against?
1080p/60fps is attainable right now on consoles. It just depends on the type of graphics you're expecting from games. Which comes down to developer vision. Some visions are more than what's possible resulting in lower frame rates. It's not the consoles fault. And if the developer doesn't optimize and take their time, it's still not the fault of the console. I could come up with a vision of a game that would make any top of the line PC chug and not handle it. But it's still not the fault of that PC.
It also shows the glaring problem with some gamers who aren't really gamers. They're graphics whores. When you're chasing that instead of good gameplay, you are a graphics whore. Counting pixels and worrying about resolution. I've never seen this level of dissatisfaction from the current level of graphics from gamers. But I play 8bit,16bit,32bit,etc for games all the time. So maybe I'm immune to this hunger and need for extra pixels.I like graphics. But it's not the first thing I think about. It's ***gameplay.***
If a developer makes a 1080p/30fps "Neo" game, are gamers going to have a hissy fit because the developer "chose" to make their game their way?Not yours. If you need 1080p/60fps for every game, then get out there and start making them. Or, you can do this:
***Demand developers finish, test and optimize their games before you get it instead of chasing for more power to fix the problem. That's how console gaming used to be before the infection of PC nonsense. Nintendo first party is a great example.
***Demand that journalists tell you truth about games before release or boycott their sites. How hard is that to do? I've boycotted EA for over 10 years.The choice of buying Madden or no football at all. I chose not at all. Or any of their rehashed, by the numbers games that are now shallow.Hasn't hurt my fun in gaming in the slightest. But I'm guessing we all don't have will power to vote with our wallets. Which would be a pity.
Telling me I have no choice means you just lost a customer. Saying I don't have to buy it just means the industry gets worse just like micro transactions, preorder bonus nonsense,dlc,paying for online,etc. It's not complaining, it's seeing what will result from an action taken and telling people to pause and think. Just like EA, corporations have been trying to get you to buy more for minor updates. Or paying more for less content or quality. Looks like they'll get their wish from some here if neo is real.
Its not that gamers don't have a choice (because they do). Its just that a lot of gamers that visit gaming sites are all talk. They come with comments like, "I'm not buying that crap," or "I'm quitting gaming if this happens," or "I'll just go to PC."
Those same people making those comments will have the consoles on pre order as soon as they're available. Just like they do a lot games they claim they hate. A small minority of gamers actually mean what they say.
Funny thing is these same comments were made about online only games, DLC, microtransactions, broadband internet requirement, etc. Claiming they're "quitting" yet not only are they still playing games, they're writing articles and own gaming sites.
