980ti isn't even enough for 4k/60 unless you are playing some low demanding games. I usually run stuff at 1440p
Remember how crazy Quantum Break E3 "demo" looked in 2013? Remember that? Some people even said that it looked better than anything shown on PS4. Point is, if it's not coming out this year than it's not coming out this year and no one will care. In fact, expect healthy skepticism as to whether those demos are running on actual hardware or not.

I literally skipped PS4/Xbone/WiiU gen. It was 3 years lmao.
Ha, yes! This is basically a neat encapsulation of my last post.
If this model gains traction on the market I can easily see a two yearly cycle, and if MS and Sony are releasing on alternate year's, nobody's performance crown is going to last very long (all else being equal).
Just buy into the platform(s) and iteration(s) that suits you, and upgrade when you want. Barring catastrophic software compatibility issues, you're not forced to chase every upgrade. Otherwise you'll end up in a kind of PC-lite-like 'there's always something better around the corner' hesitancy/anxiety.

More moderator banning satisfaction though with the constant crazies going off the rails?
NeoGAF mods are the real winners here.

Exactly! I think 10 TF absolutely HAS to be the goal for PS5. Otherwise don't release it until then, because according to history it should really be over 12 TFs.
Exactly, which is why this new Xbox won't be doing 4K/60FPS seeing how it will be weaker than a 980Ti no doubt if it's AMD's 6Tflop.

I'm pretty sure it will be able to deliver 60fps at 4K with a few bells and whistles due to a modern GPU and optimised rendering techniques.

Will GAF be able to survive?
Looks like MS finally managed to pack in the power of the cloud into the box itself.
Microsoft: Cloud makes Xbox One four times more powerful

Eh they are DOA regardless.
It sure sounds like a next-gen system, so I would not be surprised. I can't imagine that all Xbox One owners would be very pleased, either.

With what they're pulling off currently, why wouldnt the graphical change be exponential?

I think it would absolutely stupid for them to drop the Xbox 1 support this soon. Especially with Sony doing the complete opposite with regards to the NEO. Sony can increase it's Market share and gain profit. The OG PS4 will no doubt be cheaper while NEO allows them to keep their margins up.
If MS drops support for the One then they are taking a huge risk in hoping that playerbase moves over while Sony continues their domination.
Sony's plan has very little risk. They lose nothing on this whole thing.
If what you're suggesting is true. MS loses whatever playerbase they have now and banking on the Scorpio replicating PS4 success.
I know it's only a rumour but is that what the quoted figures translate to? That doesn't seem quite so impressive if it's releasing over a year away.
We'll see though.

Brave New World...
Staying up to date on all systems is going to be so freaking expensive, and that's only for the hardware.
And that is why, when this happens I'm going all PC all the time. May be with a side of Nintendo.
That seems really, really low. But MS might eat the cost just to try and sell more units.

Yeah, I'm curious to see what devs say about this going forward.

If this end up happening MS giving Sony a year head start is not good.
After a while people will be lock into eco systems and it won't matter what Sony or MS bring out .
Going to be interesting to see what happens .

Because power was the problem with the Xbox one. Sure.
Idk about that. Previously, the stakes were huge because of the 5-6 year locked-in hardware cycle. Once that is done, the most powerful console will always be the one releasing next year.
I think it will be more like iOS v Android, where it is the ecosystem that matters and the hardware is just a vehicle for that. And MS' ecosystem is going to be uwp; Sony's will be entertainment!entertainment!entertainment!

That SCD patent might be just their way of doing iterative hardware updates ...
Sorry, I can't. But maybe a porn-star penis size comparisson will help:

PS4 Neo: Peter North
Xbox Scorpio: Lexington Steele
Yeah I was thinking that earlier. Scalebound and a bells and whistles version of Halo 6 for windows 10 and Scorpio.

Sigh...I might have to seriously rethink my gaming purchases with the new way things seem to be headed. I've always bought 1 or 2 of the latest gen consoles and then had a PC I built and upgraded. I just don't think I can financially keep up with these iterative consoles every couple years plus keep my PC fresh. Even if games are still released on the older version consoles my OCD will drive me nuts not having the latest/greatest.
I'm sure there is a lot more info we don't know yet but I hope consoles exclusives start coming to the PC more so I can just stick to PC gaming and hope they have more cross platform play so I can play with my friends who don't play on PC. My wallet hurts thinking of all these new upgraded consoles.

It's the problem they can't fix with software and personnel changes.

This reads as something that is just too good to be true.
400$ console prices seems the way to go this day and age. There's no way in the world that you can expect a 4x more powerful console in comparison to the Xbone, and then also expect the console to be priced under 600$.
If it does there is going to be some serious CPU bottleneck.
Sounds like an "inside source" wants this to be true, but it will be more of something along the lines of twice as powerful.
