Following the PS4 Pro reveal, Microsoft is more confident than ever that Scorpio will set a new bar for consoles.

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Former Activision studio Toys for Bob partners with Xbox to publish its first game as an indie. This is something of a homecoming, as Microsoft owns Activision.
Manages to buy their freedom especially after all the shit Microsoft has been doing with its studios lately
...
Goes right back to them as partners.
Okaaaaaay...
Xbox’s gaming division seems to still function as 3 semi-autonomous sub-divisions, Xbox Studios, Bethesda and ABK. The three main sub-divisions can seemingly shut down or build studios and set up partnerships independently. This would explain why Bethesda can recently shutdown studios, while ABK spins off one studio, while building a new one. Plus, Toys for Bob could be spun off by ABK, only to immediately re-partner with Microsoft.
My next console. A true upgrade. I really can't wait to play in native 4k. I'm so let down by the ps4pro such a disappointment.
“I think customers’ expectations are changing. I think that console generations are really, really exciting for people, but super disruptive to developers and to customers. And this idea that we’re thinking beyond console generations doesn’t mean that we’re not going to have exciting, new, more powerful hardware.”
“But we look for a continuity of players and content and accessories that’s kind of unprecedented, and I think Scorpio is our first foray into that,” he continued. “I think you’re going to go through a period in the industry where people just have to get used to change, because this is a new idea. But I like our vision of forward compatibility, I like our vision beyond console generations. I’m very confident that we’re going to deliver customers a great experience on Scorpio and that co-existence of the Xbox One and S and Scorpio at the same time is going to be a really great thing. I’m really excited about it.”
Interesting....I can't wait for the reveal of Scorpio. Phil and the Xbox team need to play their cards right. I would like to know the AMD tech powering Scorpio and the VR Hardware it will support at launch. Hopefully we'll get some info later this year or early next year.
Also MS just confirmed again to polygon that Scorpio will indeed launch with a 4k bluray player. Nice. Especially since I plan to buy a 4k TV next year.
Time for 3rd parties to jump back in! Scorpio will be the lead platform once it's released so momentum should shift back in MS favor.
With no exclusives
keyword "WILL." PS4 Pro will have one year with the market to itself...
