Even in NPD, at the same price PS4 will win, assuming both have comparable deals of course (Gift cards, bundled games).

PS4 will have Call of Duty, Watch Dogs 2 and Destiny: Rise of Iron which will be all over the TV with commercials this fall. Plus a price cut, with the hype of PlayStation VR. (Cheapest VR on the market).

Its PlayStation's biggest year yet. PS4 will undoubtedly win with a big, big lead.

The Xbox One S is an easier sell if than these two units if PS4 Slim does indeed launch without UHD/HDR support, which would be incredibly nonsensical and pretty OLD Sony. If you've managed to sit out this generation and those two are sitting on shelves right next to each other, at the same price, you go for the Xbox One S—it's better looking with a wider feature set.

Be careful DF!

Digital Foundry's Richard Leadbetter visited the person

Although that should probably keep them off the hook. Just don't buy it from the person or ask to borrow it and make a video inside DF HQ.

Still Sony might be quite pissed a representative of EG/DF is willingly collaborating with someone who most likely owns a stolen unit.

I'm late to the party on this one but man that thing looks ugly. It's like they tried to get rid of everything that made the original look cool.

Do they really always need to include the sentence "we've asked x for comment"? Just unnecessary imo.

In most cases x won't respond anyway.

i mean, you could literally play this game all day "console X is an easier sell because their friends have it" "console y is a better sell because they want to play game z"

UHD doesn't mean as much as to the average consumer as you think. To the enthusiast? sure, but this isn't aimed at the enthusiast, it's the the general public. The easier sell to gen pub is the console with the greater mindshare, and that's playstation right now.

If Neo is missing UHD and whatever, sure you have a point.

Sure. If hypothetically the devices were 100% the same aside from design and UHD/HDR support, you could have a point here.

But the PS4 slim is still the more powerful product, has a more diverse current and upcoming games library and has generally cemented itself as the console to get this generation. That does not change.
I doubt UHD/HDR support is going to seriously weigh up against any of that, do you honestly believe it will?

Lol, this is just crazy talk.

A Slim PS4 will decimate any version of the Xbox One in sales. I can't even believe people are arguing otherwise. The type of person in the market for the cheaper revision of a console mid-generation doesn't give a shit about things like UHD/HDR support.

Where does "stolen" narrative comes from?
Click to expand...

Common sense at this point.

Unannounced console, weeks early, a UAE model in the UK, and being sold by a random citizen on gumtree. I mean where did the random person legally hand over cash for something like this? Said foreign model won't even be sold in the UK at retail.

When it's the choice between two identical products, yes they do. These are discerning features. If you're in a store looking at two game consoles that cost the same and you ask the clerk what's the difference: "Well, this one is 4K/HDR compatible." The 4K boom is happening, not having 4K is a fucking mistake. Period.

Also: Multiplats with HDR support will look better on One S than a PS4 Slim.

The Xbox One S is already seeing retailer bundles and markdowns. I highly doubt it is going to suddenly start selling better once it has more competition.

PS4 has been mudering Xbone in sales for 3 years and people think that's gonna change cause "its better looking?"

Thanks for reminding how much of GAF lives in a bubble.

Well when the PS3 dropped in price to be within $50 or so of the 360, people(in the U.S. at least) still weren't flocking to it despite it's wider feature set.

Dude, the devices aren't identical in any way. What are you even talking about at this point.

Hmmm so I really don't know if I like the Slim design over the OG....

Gonna have to see what the benefits will be since the OG is gonna be dirt cheap now.
