LOL, no. PS4 Pro is 70% of the power of the XOX. By comparison, that's almost the exact same difference, in reverse, between the base PS4 and Xbone (71%), and those are quite clearly the same generation.great specs and all - this is honestly a new console as opposed to ps4pro. [...] console disparity is too great - xbox1x is actually going to deliver 4K whereas Ps4Pro barely delivers it.
Sony needs to drop to 325/350 during xmas to secure the userbase; they don't have a choice. [...] Sony also needs killer/must-have software for PSVR.
Exactly Sony doesn't need to do anything. Sony isn't the underdog this generation. It's Microsoft that is behind, they are the ones that need to keep it super competitive.LOL, no.

Sony doesn't need to do anything because of the $499 price. You can bet your ass they would have had to respond if the XOX debuted at $399, but that didn't happen. Sony can sit happy at their $399 price, and maybe consider a price drop on the base model.
If the Xbox One X was a new console with completely new games and had just 1 that looked interesting to me, I would have purchased it day 1 for $500. Even without owning a 4k display.Exactly Sony doesn't need to do anything. Sony isn't the underdog this generation.

I just think that while us hard-core gamers love a super powerful consoles, the price puts it to a point its just not going to sell much. Consoles that expensive just don't sell a ton, history has shown, especially when there is a way to okay the exact same games while paying half the price.
I entertained the idea of a PS4 Pro, but it never really enticed me and the same with a $500 Xbox. They also don't have the carrot of exclusives since everything is either ported over to PC or Play Anywhere for first party titles.
Like a Halo? Is there really a super strong anything this gen that isn't just a new update of an older IP?
I didn't think M$ cared about their user base... Forza Horizon 3 is on PC now so that leaves Halo 5 (mediocre at best) and not much else. I don't see their plan with demoing more powerful hardware other than to simply do it just because.
PS4 has HZD, Last of Us Remastered + Uncharted, The Last Guardian, Bloodborne and the new God of War is due next year. There's also Until Dawn and Gravity Rush for the more obscure tasted.
When the Xbox One S came out it was a cheap good 4k Blu-ray player. I'm already seeing players around $200 so by the time it's out it won't be a deal in that area anymore.
Its such a retarded name. When someone goes into a store with little info which many do, it's not easy to tell which is the better version. Pro is an easier way to designate its better, X doesn't.
Well I think $500 is steep considering they don't have any crazy exclusives. I have the Xbox one now and haven't even turned it on in 6 months. I've got Forza, halo, pretty much a few other exclusives but I've been playing more on the PC and PS4.
I kept the Xbox one so I could trade it in when the time comes. I may just do that so I could have the ability to purchase the one x. It may be more powerful than ps4 pro but without good games to make people buy it, sales won't be so good. I'm more excited about last of us, horizon dlc, God of war.
I've also been playing nioh on the PS4 and I suck at soul type games but the faster pace helps me a lot in that game.
I normally don't care TOO much about BC, just a "nice to have" in case I want to use it, but I've used it a decent amount already on XB1 for 360 titles.
As far as Xbox titles though, I can only think of one I'd really want to give a go - Burnout 3.
Overall I think it's a nice feature, but not a system seller.
It's a good price for the specs.
Too expensive and isn't going to sell a lot at all. PS4 Pro isn't selling a ton and I bought one. Xbox One X (which is a stupid name) is just too expensive. Great hardware, no doubt about that but it's just too expensive. I would have bought one at $400 but I'll wait for the inevitable price drop months after release.
Sure they are, such a waste that people are mad when PC get horrible ports of the game or are lucky enough to get the game at all.consoles are such a huge waste of money. and now they will just collect dust at a higher initial purchasing price.
