40% smaller than what though, a vcr? Lol

DARK_WOLF2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

So all the petty shots sony has taken at xbox over the last couple of years are classy?

Give me a break.

Xb1s has 4k BR, 4k upscaling and more features like optical out and hdmi in as standard at $299 ( the same price as the stripped out cheaply built non 4k ps4 slim )

Ita a better product with better build quality and better value for money and MS are right to point that out.

You guys are just butthurt that MS are marketting their product which is clearly better than what the competition is offering.

Trez12342803d ago

Yo dark, does it play games better than the ps4? You know, that's what matters right?

GTgamer2803d ago

@darkwolf_Nz
But is it better at running my Games I'll wait. Seems to me like you want a multimedia device not a gaming console

-Foxtrot2803d ago

You're just learning that now

They never have and never will.

piroh2803d ago

@darkwolf
X1S dont support 4k gaming. HDR will come to all standard PS4s as a free update, you dont need to buy slim or pro

DARK_WOLF2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

It does run games better actually. And it has true 4k upscaling which makes a huge difference in picture quality.

Just relying on the tv to upscale takes the same image and is limited.

Proper 4k upscale from the console itself is a new image output with a bigger aspect ratio and higher quality. So yeah it does outperform ps4 og on a 4k tv.

U guys can disagree all u want but its fact.

And xb1 upscales all games to 4k so yeah it does support 4k gaming.

darthv722803d ago

I see a few similarities here. PS4Pro supports 4K and HDR and has improved cpu / gpu and 1tb hdd for $399.

Then you have the XB1S that supports 4K and HDR as well as has an improved cpu / gpu and 1tb hdd for $349.

Gaming on both is more than likely upscaled considering that both are touting 4K and HDR and probably wont have native 4K games (XB1S wont obviously) unless they are really low in fidelity and just wanting to have really high resolution (think 8bit / 16bit type indie games).

Now I am hearing that the PS4Pro doesn't support 4K bluray... is that even possible? the XB1S does so I would think the Pro should as well.

Sevir2803d ago

Darkwolf... it doesn't! Sorry to say, but games STILL perform like crap on XBO S in comparison to the PS4. 4k up scaling? Ok, a 900p Game with screen tearing being blown up and stretched to 4k resolutions is still 900p... have a seat... 4k Blu-ray? You bought your XBO S to play 4k movies? Nice do you have a 4k TV?

Gazondaily2803d ago

Oh yeah, Yoshida on how to share games was sooo classy though lmao 😂

The sheer hypocrisy

GTgamer2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

@darkwolf_NZ
It's 2016 and Ms just dropped a 720p game so what the hell are you talking about I swear this site gives the best laughs ever. But hey atleast your movies are 4k :)

DARK_WOLF2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

So much deflection up in here its funny.

The fact u think games run like crap on xb1s is a joke.

WAKE UP!

maybe you shud get one to see how wrong u are because in reality its games run great.

Better yet, get a 4k tv and see for urself how good it looks upscaled. Its a big difference.

Dont be mad at MS that sony are making u pay an extra $100 for a simple hdmi 2.0 port with 4k upscale.

Ps4 slim should have 4k upscale but that would really put a hole in ps4 pro sails so i get why.

Just like no 4k br because sony have conflict of interest with their 4k br players. I told u lot about that a couple weeks ago but got slammed with disagrees. Yet here we are ps4 pro with no 4k br.

@gtgamer

That 720p game looks amazing. Better than a lot of 900p and 1080p games and is very clear to look at with really high res textures and amazing lighting and particle effects.

It gets upscaled to 1080p or 4k but either way if all games could look as good as battlefront and bf1 but had to be native 720p upscaled im fine with that because it looks amazing and runs a very smooth 60fps.

U guys need to get in the real world and stop staring at numbers...

Imalwaysright2803d ago

What exactly about comparing the X1S with the regular X1 isn't classy?

That was a real cheap move by Microsoft. What makes it even worse is that HDR will be part of every PlayStation 4 console.

Death2803d ago

I'm not seeing where they are taking "shots". The comparisons are against the original Xbox One, not the PS4. Is Microsoft not supposed to promote their console anymore? It's taken from the official Xbox twitter page. https://twitter.com/Xbox?re...

BLKxSEPTEMBER2803d ago

So what makes you think MS can't issue a firmware to make all XB1'S HDR compatible like Sony? Just face it, Sony is going to lose the battle when it comes to power. It's to late for MS to win this gen but they will reclaim The US with Scorpio mark my words.

donthate2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

I remember the video Sony specifically made about lending games to take potshots at MS, but that was cheered on. Remember this:

This tweet is pretty benign compared to that, albeit amusing.

DARK_WOLF2803d ago

Ur just butthurt that ms is marketting their product that is clearly better than the competition.

The fact that u think a simple ad for their product is a cheap shot says a lot really.

Blame sony for no 4k BR and no 4k upscale on slim ps4.

Dont blame MS for having the better product and marketting it.

Sevir2803d ago

XBO S supports HDR, they supported by putting a stronger GPU that's only 7% stronger than the XBO... to have HDR support you need a GPU that can support it, the original XBO doesn't have the capability and would require more performance power from the gpu, that's why the One S was created and outfitted with a slightly more powerful GPU that can handle it... since the PS4 standard is already more powerful than both XBO and One S, it had the flu overhead to support HDR. So it was simply just a matter of coding and allocating some guy resources to allow for it. Now we get a firmware update next week and once again Sony has this industry on lock

Gazondaily2803d ago

"That was a real cheap move by Microsoft."

Lol bet you were loving the Yoshida how to share games video though right?

fenome2803d ago

Anybody remember the boat Microsoft had to float by a Playstation reveal party? I'm on my phone and half buzzed, so I'm not getting links right now. Lol. I think it was in Europe, anyways, it was funny as hell. I love the competition, it fuels innovation and we get decent price points because of it. I really hope Nintendo gets back in the game too with the NX, it would be cool to see three competing factions rather than the usual two.. they just need to stop being reclusive assholes about things, their PR and customer service suck ass.

Yet they still selling it with deals like free games and all.

showtimefolks2803d ago

last black friday they offered 4 games yet ps4 still outsold it

GrontB2803d ago

Retailers have to keep bundling them with extra treats to move them out of the store and warehouses. Bundling usually shows the product needs incentive to buy.

DARK_WOLF2803d ago

Is that a bad thing? Xbox brings more value. #fact

Sephiroushin2803d ago

@Dark
Value ia different from person to person so #NotFact

Sevir2803d ago

@Dark wolf, is that why the PS4 keeps outselling the XBO even with all those "Values" it so call brings.

@BLKxSEPTEMBER "It's to late for MS to win this gen but they will reclaim The US with Scorpio mark my words"

So what you are saying is. The scorpio is a new generation? So when/if Sony announces a PS5 in early 2018 (my guess) this will join the new generation along side scorpio. Going by the tone of what you said. You seem to think power = more sales. So what if the PS5 is more powerful than the scorpio?

I want both MS and Sony to do well. They bring out the best in each other. I just feel at this moment in time. Sony are in the driving seat and will most likely continue to be in the driving seat even when this scorpio is released. Just my opinion of course.

I bet Phil Spencer isn't pleased with this development. He works his ass off to make Microsoft seem like the good guys and some idiot exec blow it for him in minutes.

TGGJustin2803d ago

Exactly. And will do HDR next week. OG Xbox One can't do HDR. Microsoft screwed you over.

MattE2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

Xb1 s has a 4k bluray player mate.. that's worth the upgrade Alone? Ps4/pro hasn't ?

TheBrit2803d ago

How do you know it cannot do HDR ???? Up until todays announcement, the Original PS4 couldnt do HDR either

GTgamer2803d ago

@matte
Hmmmm 4k movies or Better performaning games

I'mma have to go with better performing games on this one Bob

Omnislashver362803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

TBH, I don't think a 4K BluRay player is that big of a deal. There are definitely diminishing returns on playable media, and also on distance viewing. Most 4K media will look exactly the same as 1080p. Now, 4K gaming, because it's the equivalent to AA, and can get more detail, will be great. But Xbox Scorpio's 4K games won't have enough power to make a good difference. At this time 1080p60 is miles better. Perhaps with the next-gen. Just my take.

MS should focus on making 1080p60 games that show Scorpio has more power than PS4Pro. And they also need to focus on simple things like better VA. Scalebound and Gears 4 could put MS on the map again if they didn't skip something so simple as a good VA. Just my take. As someone that played 360 exclusively last-gen the only AAA/S game I have any hope for with Xbox is Halo 6, which just isn't going to be worth $499 for me to play.

n4rc2803d ago

Let's point out some hypocrisy!

So you want the more powerful system, to hell with media or anything else right?

So last gen when Sony was all about "it only does everything".. you didn't all run out and buy a 360?

And you'll all naturally ditch the ps4pro to buy a Scorpio right?

fenome2803d ago

@n4rc aka Narc

I've followed Sony since the PS1 because of games.. that's why I'm here, I like playing videogames, have ever since I was young. Never once regretted any one of my purchases all through their run, the PS3 had a rocky start and it was expensive when it first came out, but dude, the games. Sony are on their shit with developers, and they're the ones who make our games.

Microsoft came in from the start thinking they could just use all their Bill Gates money and take over the industry. End of the day, it's not about power, it's not about specs. Those are things for nerds like us to argue about online.

It's all about games. Game on. Set, match.

SpaceRanger2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

So now after this conference...we know that MS are making people pay for HDR. And "greatest games"...well that's all subjective. 40% smaller? You mean the size of the original PS4...which just got smaller.

Try again MS, this was unnecessary and not well thought out.

YinYangGaming2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

Now I'm hearing the PS4 Pro might not even support proper HDR or 4K blu-ray, wow.

Edit: Doesn't support 4K bluray wat

christocolus2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

It has been confirmed. http://i.imgur.com/T2htWmG....

Maybe they will include one in the future.

Zoomer762803d ago

The focus is on games, when a third of the conference was spent talking about 4k video and Netflix

fonger082803d ago

Well, that makes my decision to hold off a lot easier... lame.

Sevir2803d ago

A 3rd? You mean 3 minutes out of a 45 minute showcase of games, that basically announced 4k streaming is coming to pro via YouTube and Netflix and PS Video... you really can't math today

donthate2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

But you got HDR support on your PS4. Except there is no content at 1080p that currently supports HDR. The kicker, Gears 4 is the first game to support HDR out of the box on console. Enjoy the HDR on PS4!

Altovoltage2803d ago

Well that sucks. I have the original Xbox and I'm not upgrading to the S just to get 4K bluray. I'll wait for the Scorpio plus I hardly touch the Xbox one I rather play on the PS4 right now who's knows when the Scorpio comes out.

jb2272803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

Considering anyone w/ a decent internet connection can stream or d/l the same 4k content from Sony or third parties, what difference does a 4k bd player truly make? We aren't ready to go fully digital w/ games yet but in terms of film & tv content, who really buys physical movies aside from the most ardent film buffs? Ultimately the same content will be available w/o the 4k bd player, so if removing it allowed for a $399 price point, I'm fairly sure that's a more enticing prospect than a $499 price point just to throw in 4k bd. Kind of a moot point really.

I don't know what they're gloating at.

"4K streaming & Blu-Ray" - NON-gaming........ 😂 😂

"HDR gaming" - even a LAUNCH PS4 has this sh*t Microsoft, and you're making gamers pay $299 for it. 😂 😂

"Greatest games" - FALSE. Less games, worse rated, less diversity. By far. 😂 😂

"40% smaller" - Bigger than a PS4 slim and a launch PS4. 😂 😂

"Xbox One S from $299" - same price as a PS4 slim. 😂 😂

So the only truthful brag is.... NON-GAMING. hahahhaha, Microsoft has a terrible PR department. 😂 😂

SpaceRanger2803d ago

It's hilarious to watch!😂 They're loosing their minds over at MS that they didn't even think about any of the points you just made.

And now they have to sit with their consoles for another year till Scorpio maybe comes out. Where's a fork when you need one? Cause I think they're done.

DigitalRaptor2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

PS4 Pro is pushing hard for 4K, and I'm not a massive fan of the priority over frame rate, there are so many choices available for developers to choose what they want to do, so I'm confident there will be a fine balance. HDR has me excited based on what I understand about it. And PSVR improvements are also key in making me want this.

Horizon: Zero Dawn looks amazing and beyond any open-world game I've ever seen.

Final Fantasy XV patch when it comes out in late November....? HELL YES!

And Sony also has their Asia event tomorrow where games should be announced/shown. What does Xbox have to show other than games they're delaying into 2017 for the Scorpio's launch 12-15 months away? All they can do is lie and mislead consumers and gamers on social media (to further support the disgusting liars of their community), in the meantime whilst they have their ass handed to them furthermore by a $249 slim that significantly undercuts their XB1S and a $399 Pro that is an amazing price for much improved hardware.

@ gangsta_red

We're laughing.... dude. Laughing. Having fun at Microsoft's will to try and mislead, and not even with class.

gangsta_red2803d ago

The only ones loosing their minds are you two knuckle heads. Seriously...over a tweet.

n4rc2803d ago

What point?

Coming in at 2tf less then their rival and no 4k bluray.. yeah.. way to lay down the hammer :/

And adding it to the og ps4 is basically pointless as hdr isn't included in any 1080p set that I'm aware of..

Not hating on the product, just some of the comments.. I think it's a great deal and will sell huge.. not sure why idiots feel the need to try and oversell it

DigitalRaptor2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

No.... I'm laughing buddy!

PS4 Pro is amazing value @ $399.

Also PS4 Pro is not even native 4K.
Someone is butthurt lol

DigitalRaptor2803d ago (Edited 2803d ago )

1) I amended the mistake about the price - my bad.

2) "PS4 Pro is not even native 4K." - any source behind this?

3) Microsoft tried to undermine the Sony announcements, and failed. I'm laughing at their continued disconnection from reality. I'm so butthurt that I'm already planning to sell my vanilla PS4 and buy a Pro in addition to my PSVR, and pre-order a few more PS4 exclusives.
