...but, Nintendo was the chosen one.
I'm beginning to understand why Nintendo is skipping E3 for the NX.
Both Microsoft and Sony are going to go insane with hype and new hardware. The NX could easily get overshadowed at E3.
All this new stuff coming is probably why Nintendo has decided to wait a couple of months and have their own event where the entire spotlight is on them.

Given the two rumors, which are all but confirmed, I love the parallels between Microsoft and Nintendo, the former which is rumored to be announcing a new console in the coming weeks to release in over a year, whereas the latter is rumored to be closely announcing and releasing a new console a year from now. Both plans suck and both of their existing systems (Xbox One and Wii U) will simply sell worse. lol

I can see Neo games running at upscaled 4K, Bone2 native.

Microsoft need to sort out their exclusive game line up before I consider buying another one of their consoles, literally none of their games have looked interesting to me so far this gen.

exactly. OG Xbone owners would get burned hard.
Also, is this thing going to be subsidized, or just expensive? Because I'm really wondering how much this thing is going to cost to manufacture.
my gut tells me neither of these consoles will be at E3

Hard to Kill
And your point would've been totally valid if the actual consoles were the same but a catastrophic reveal added to a +100$ for the weakest of the the 2 consoles played a big roloe in there too as well as a lot of others factors
Pretty much lol

Quick math
PS4 NEO 4.14TF/PS4 1.84TF = 2.25
That's a set number, we have the compute units and the clock speed. 2.5 would be false and 2.3 is normal rounding.
XB1 1.32TF X 4 = 5.28TF
When we find out the ALU/Compute units and the clocks, we can draw better inference. If its said to be 6TF though, there's not need for "concern" about reporting until we get harder facts.
Wasn't there rumors back in the day of subsidizing the cost by bundling it with cable or some such?
From what I remember they seriously were looking into that at one point.. not so sure now with the Xbox Stick rumor stuff now.
Of course, that may have been tied into the whole Online 24/7 thing too.

Scorpio might be be rocking Zen CPU if it's actually launching late 2017.

Time to pack it in Sony, you're about to be buried by an MS TF attack. They no longer need the "power of the cloud" they will have the raw TFs to best you.

seriously, I can already see the posts coming
Trouble is, the sun came out, and as soon as that happened all the power clouds disappeared.

I hope this takes us beyond polygons. Raytraced NURBS and voxels or death. Next Gen finally proven right.
It's always best to go into this thinking it'll be expensive.

I hope the CPU is decent this time around. It would awesome to see if MS allows side-loading of UWA (Universal Windows Apps). It would be awesome to see someone port Win32 apps to it.

Xbox One-Two is a worse name than Xbox one.

Yeah at this point it's a complete shitshow
PS5 is probably 2019. 3 years after the nero. My guess is it will have something like 10 tflops of performance

Love all this Xbox madness coming out today. Bring on E3!
I've seen people bring up this point that with console interations will potentially come endless cross-gen games. I can see the reasoning behind that. I'm curious to see how this all plays out.
By giving it to an intern......it will be capped
When it mostly goes on eye candy. Come on, Xbox One isn't great but the games don't look like arse, just don't expect better than what you see this year more or less. Games on Neo/Scorpio will be a treat but it's not like you're going to see magic.

If it is genuinely 6TF then it's going to be a absolute beast.

Higher resolution and better framerate for all games just like PC ports, and then for some games you'll get some shaders, better lighting, textures, AA, and whatever other tech developers have time to implement for PC/XBTWO/PSNEO versions.
I would think having hardware iterations closer together would do away with the cross-gen problems rather than exacerbate them.
Yup. I'd like just Xbox.

I would say that Sony were the ones who felt the need to head off a new MS console. I've always felt that the PS4K is the result of Sony getting wind of MS' plans and having their hand forced towards new hardware.
Well this rumor, along with the PS4K rumor, are saying that these are GPU upgraded devices and not across the board upgrades. Same CPU, same Ram.
Yup. They want to Extract maximum money from the core.

A couple things...
1.) 4x more powerful? And that's not a generational gap? So I guess that's got to be largely focused on 4k resolution, right? I guess they could really get into sliders like today's PC gaming. Seems weird. And that price. Boy, that's going to be an expensive console.
2.) You know, I was pretty positive on the idea of iterative consoles, but the more this stuff starts to look like a reality, particularly if the other rumors are true and MS is going to have a half-dozen skus (From media focuses, to sticks, to powerful consoles, slims, etc), my interest definitely starts to wane. With that many options, where are devs going to be expending their time? I know nothing has fundamentally changed, and I still think console makers have the right to make iterative consoles and see how that business model works, but the amount of different skus floating around and differing power levels is starting to turn my opinion. Granted, it's all rumor and speculation right now, but I'm starting to lose my stomach for it. When I think about a world where I could potential buy 3 new consoles next year, two of which will just be iterations of consoles I already own so I could get the best possible experience, I start to think that money and energy might just be better kept with my PC. Consoles end up being an arms race where every year there's another more powerful option to buy even if the companies they're coming from are different. That doesn't sound good.

We can only hope. Hope for higher fidelity across all boards because of the increased performance in basic common denominator. But all them first iteration PS4s/XB1s can still hold em back a bit.

Honestly, this doesn't matter we've had parity the whole generation already so why would games look any different if there was a difference?
Isn't the Xbox cpu better than the ps4 CPU? So upping the GPU performance of the bone will be perfection and still work well with the old bone just have ugly graphics is all.
