Ha.. the article made me chuckle as I did the same thing.. spent my first 4-5 years on Xbox not caring at all, then I started playing with a few coworkers and naturally competition takes over.
Still not obsessive about it or anything.. but I'll go out of my way a bit to snag any I reasonably can.
Why do you assume the neo competes with the standard Xbox? Sony is skipping the slim and going right for the upgrade, Scorpio is ms' upgraded console. Both companies are following the same path
Where the hell is Canada!? Hope we aren't lumped in with Britain lol
The game wasn't bad, quite fun actually.
But the constant stream of exploits and bugs just killed it for me
I'd guess the same reason you buy a Ferrari when a Hyundai would do just fine. Because you can lol
It's just another legitimate metric being used as the end all be all number by marketing teams..
Best comment of the day.. lol
What's your definition of an upgrade?
This..
The speed of the game makes waiting for that lock on suicide. Sure you catch unsuspecting players but die to anyone that sees you lol
When they said no gamer left behind, to me that meant scorpios arrival. Not forever
It's obvious and natural for these current machines to eventually not cut it anymore. It just won't be next holiday. We will likely still have effective generations of 5-6 years but will have incremental steps along the way vs selling everything and starting over..
I don't think we will ever see a fundamental difference like that.. it will be resolution and higher quality versions of the same assets etc.
tho target fps can be maintained a whole lot better (be it 30 or 60) so I guess that's an advantage.
There is nothing wrong with season passes, if done right.. I've always felt the map packs were worth the money and the extras are decent enough..
And thanks for the tip.. wasn't aware companies put out products for people that buy them. Lol
No chance.. of course they'll do a premium like they always do..
As far as season passes go, I never minded bf premium and bought it twice (bf3 and 4)
Common knowledge and public fact.
Edit since the reply button is gone.. thanks slacker.. "Sony did lose their marketshare of the generation"
Was afraid you missed that in your attempt to intentionally misinterpt what I wrote..
Uhh.. yeah.. 150m to 80m.. I said last gen
Not really.. both companies are basically offering a suped up current gen console + vr.
If every ps4 and xb1 game carries forward, can it really be considered a new generation as we've come to expect?
They make the surface tho.. (I agree with everything else)
Who the hell has ever made that argument? Lol
Lol.. was a joke but is probably accurate nonetheless
Your entire post was about using neo as a half step to ps5 but assuming the xb1s is the half step to Scorpio.. it's not, it's just a slim.
you can't suddenly think going from 1.7tf to 4.5 (or whatever, don't quote me) is just a minor refresh just because Scorpio is at 6tf.
Regardless.. both are releasing an upgraded version of the existing platform. It's the same thing.
