"Penello was confident that Microsoft's upcoming console will convincingly eclipse Sony's upgraded hardware. "
"The performance delta will be obvious," said Penello.

As PlayStation announces its new strategy to encourage PC users to choose PS5 it is a bitter-sweet moment for PC gamers.
I mean, it's a business based on hardware market. Do we expect them to not even try? It's not like Nintendo doesn't do the same by not putting any games on PC and Microsoft until recently did the same. I don't care what they attempt, as long as they don't abuse the community or lie about their goals/requirements.
Will it work? Not likely. Should we care? No. Let them waste their time, it doesn't affect anything.
I wish them the best of luck.
But PC players are often a patient bunch, many will even wait for Epic launcher exclusivity to end until a game comes to Steam.
If they didnt buy the console when its games were exclusive, why would they do it now theyre not?
PC gamers are just too patient and loyal to their gaming set ups, something they've spent a lot of money on to perfect. They have backlogs of games which many never get round to finishing or get round to at all and will always have other multiplatform releases to keep them going.
Over the many years Sony has published so many awesome titles such as The Last of Us, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Infamous, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, Dreams, Puppeteer, Resistance, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo, Motor Storm, God of War, Horizon, Ratchet and Clank, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne
If none of those games BEFORE all these PC ports convinced a hardcore PC gamer to get a PS5 console then why on Earth would porting them them to PC now make any difference? All PC gamers now know 100% is that they just have to be patient, which they are good at anyway to get a PS5 game 2 years later.
I get GaaS games or multiplayer focused titles but if people really want to play these games they'd have gotten a PS console years ago.
Who cares? Then just stay on PC and play the waiting game. No big deal. Sony wins in the end anyway.
I mean if there's any single player Sony games that I actually want that aren't on PC then I would buy said console to play them on. But the ones that I like that aren't on PC are few and far between anyway so no loss for me.
If I game, it's usually multiplayer titles, otherwise I like playing around with some other software.
This looks fun and affordable for fans of Retro Cabinet games.
Introducing Evercade Alpha, the first Evercade-compatible arcade machine. This bartop-sized arcade gives you everything you want in a home arcade machine with one big feature - full compatibility with the Evercade cartridge ecosystem.
I like the Mega Man one more as it has a better variety of games. Strider, Carrier Airwing, Final fight... The other is all SF. Plus i like that i can pop in any of my evercade carts to play as well.
In a year once Sony have swallowed up a whole years worth of market share.. MS are going to find it tough when the gaping hole in sales will only widen and support for Sony will only grow. I also don't think it is strictly true that the power will be obvious when Sony's 1st party studios pump out their exclusives.. Uncharted 4, God of War, Horizon ETC. (list goes on) are the graphical beasts this gen, and the Pro will only accentuate that.
Multi-platform of course will perform better on Scorpio, but the exclusives from Sony are what I'm after.. MS's gaming outlook after Gears of War is dry as a bone for me. I want to build a PC for Star Citizen mainly, but the MS games would be a plus.
I think MS are trying to start a new gen here - there is no inclusion of the word 'one' within the Scorpio's name (might change?), I think they are trying to get away from this gen as quick as possible. The Remedy PR head even thinks so..
If anything comes out of this it's that the so-called "console war" is back on
Not if it's tied to the Xbox One, which they claim it will be.
Remember that it is Sony showing their hand earlier. The Xbox One S is here to compete with the PS4 Slim, not the Pro. The Pro and Scorpio will go head to head. And if Sony has plans of releasing a Pro successor in like 2 years time, then they are nuts.
If you don't like MS console exclusives then obviously the Scorpio won't be for you. Just like if you aren't a fan of Sony's then stay away from the Pro. Simple as that. 3rd party games will be interesting when compared side by side if MS can deliver on their numbers. Plus the 4K adoption rate will be a little bit higher come next fall so it will help MS out because they will actually be able to show more of a difference.
any console released a year later and at a higher price will have an obvious power advantage, but it doesnt always help.
