Playstation 4 Pro VS. Xbox One Scorpio

Some months ago Microsoft showed us the Xbox One Scorpio on E3.

Some days ago Sony showed us the Playstation 4 Pro on the Playstation Meeting.

These two are the rivals against each others, so now let's come to my question for you, which one would you go for and why?

I'm going to choose PS4 Pro because I already have my Gaming PC from Microsoft, and my first console was from Sony, playstation 1!

For you that wondering when these rivals are coming out, PS4 Pro releases 10th november 2016.

And the Xbox One S 2TB 14th september 2016, 1TB & 500GB rumors to release between holiday 2017 and 15th november 2017!

The better one.

Wait, MS showed us scorpio? Is there a video of scoepio or it playing games that I missed?

Wait, I think dude is confusing slim and scorpio

@Chutebox: No I mean Scorpio, the specs are out: http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/Xbox_One_Scorpio_vs._PlayStation_4_Pro_Comparison_Chart

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you PlayStation 5! None of your old shit works"

-Sony

i like the approach MS has taken more but it's too soon to pass on a judgement.

So sick of talking about Pro and Scorpio :(

Both are trash for gaming, ps4 has some ok exclusives and xb1 is good for 4k bluray.

Still might just get both cause I like those features.

Im getting NX.

I'm getting Scorpio because the leap from the original Xbox One to Scorpio is much greater than the leap from the original PS4 to Pro.

Plus, I really like what Microsoft has been doing lately; they have been listening to what their customers want and delivering it which gives me a lot of faith in Scorpio and beyond, whereas Sony has been on a roll with doing crappy things and being anti-consumer lately, so I don't feel very optimistic about the future of Playstation until Sony gets humbled again to bring them back down from their current state of arrogance and complacency.

I'll keep my current PS4, but I do not plan to get the PS4 Pro.

The PS4Pro will destroy the Xboned S, with 4.2TF I can't imagine how good The Last of Us 2 will look...

I'm getting the super secret Scopronx, i would tell you about it, but i would then have to kill you :)

Have decided to go with the pro this November after gaming exclusively on PC for a few years. A few reasons: Price is pretty great I have to say, better than expected. Since all games will still run on Ps4, playing them on Pro in 1080-mode should guarantee great performance with some extra effects. I think switching to 4k TV is say 2-3 years away for me. Finally Sony does have some appealing exclusives like Uncharted, Spiderman, Horizon, GOW, perhaps the last guardian, and maybe some sequel to TLOU (I sold my Ps3 before I got to play the DLC for TLOU, so looking forward to the remaster).

Scorpio is like what 40% faster. Not sure how much that will actually matter for 1080p gaming. If you wanna go 4k next year, then I think Scorpio makes more sense. Not excited about any of the MS exclusives tbh.

Lol, prepare to be disapointed.

There's no "Scorpio" yet, and "announced" specs ....... oh well, those are as good as a fart in the wind so ...... there's no such thing as PoS4 Pro vs "Scorpio".

Scorpio all the way, there is just no contest.

Spider-Man game by insomniac looks absolutely amazing in 4k!

Only on Playstation

The true Next-gen console.

@alozi: Lol. You link me that and tell me specs are out? MS threw a bunch of numbers out when they announced it. We don't know anything about this

Lol, no the specs aren't out. To say vaguely 8 core cpu and 6 tf gpu with TBD on everything else is not specs at all. It's a vague idea at best. Also TF's don't really mean anything in relation to games, it's actually a theory on paper but not actual performance from a video game. At best a couple TF's more may mean a few FPS more but dependant on the game's development.

Are you the prophet that the GS writers have been telling us about?

Neither?

@i_p_daily: people still using that old joke in.............2016!!?

PS4 pro is the obvious choice. price, exclusives.

Microsoft has seen Sony take them to lightly imho, I reckon ms could go even further and boost above 6tf's to really stick it in. They have a good few months before manufacture I guess only time will tell.

Every generation, gamers always tend to flock more towards the more "powerful" console.

The Scorpio WILL shit on the PS4P.. Sony screwed up, they did not plan for this.

1TB Xbox One S -> $349 -> Most games are 900p to 1080p

1TB PS4 Pro -> $400 -> Most games are 1080p to 4K games; with 30 to 60fps. Ex. Rise of the Tomb Raider can run at 1080p at 30-60 fps on PS4 Pro.

The choice for a person looking to play games is pretty obvious if you're looking to purchase a console this fall. Also, you shouldn't just be looking at PS4 games this fall but also most of 2017. GT Sport, Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Dreams, Detroit, all of the multiplatform games etc. will all be superior for a mere $50 more.

I'll leave it at this ..... Battlefield 1 is 720p 60fps on Xbox One (S). It's going to be 1080p+ 60fps on PS4 Pro.

With all Pro/Scorpio talk, NX is looking more and more appealing.

But that could turn out to be sh**.

@demon-returns: Yeah pretty good eh?

Scorpio. I was interested in the PRO then we find out what CPU its using, im out. So many new games will be bottlenecked by that shitty CPU.

Both + NX because I can.

Its going to be amazing watching the disappointment when some AAA games struggle to hit 1080p 60fps, fully maxed. The PRO CPU is a joke.

Athlon 5350 = 4 core jaguar at 2.05Ghz. Youtube video shows OC Jaguar at 2.3 Ghz

PS4 Pro.

Scorpio isn't even being considered since it has no exclusive games.

Getting a Pro since I was smart enough to not get a ps4 at launch and getting a Scorpio because it's a better Xbox One

@alozi: A full year apart. That's a long time in gaming.

I preordered pro because of price, games and performance ratio. Also, it helps that its coming out this year. Scorpio will be great for those that don't like Sony exclusives, but I have to ask will a 40% increase in performance be worth waiting for a full year and possibly at a higher cost?

The Scorpio could have more development time for the games that are being made for it. The Scorpio would be very expensive.

Lol I remember people saying that Sony needs to bring the clock speed up on that CPU. 1.6 isn't enough, it needs to be where Xbox One was. Now that it's going to be in the 2's the complaint is that they should have gone with a different CPU all together! Talk about moving goal posts...

Frame Rate is terrible jumping all the way down to the 40's using the Athlon 5350. Good luck PS4 pro.

Neither, but enjoy the wait lems.

Waiting for a year is a long time.

I'll take the Pro because it will have much better developer support.

I doubt Scorpio will do native 4k on really demanding AAA games, so both consoles have more than enough to do 1080p/60fps for most games. So it is just a matter of which brand you like best.

It actually isn't good for 4K Blu-ray now that the truth is out about it not supporting HD audio formats.

According to comparable hardware, a factory OC'd 390X, this isn't true, that card is essentially spec'd the same but from older architecture than Scorpio will have and can handle games like The Witcher 3 on Ultra at 4K better than the PlayStation 4 in terms of frame rate at 1080p and a mix of low/medium/high settings.

Of course it won't. Which is why I expect the Scorpio will only appeal to people that are already invested in the Xbox ecosystem. Everyone else will either get a PS4P or keep their existing PS4s.

Yes. Because it means not spending money for at least another year.

Yeah, I mean if the Scorpio was 2x better than PS4 Pro then I could totally understand people wanting to wait a full year for better performance, but I really don't see why people just don't get a Pro this year when in reality both will be upscaling to 4K from lower resolutions anyways. A 40% boost in performance is still not enough to take most AAA games to native 4K resolution with the same graphical settings as the Pro.

I keep seeing people say this about Scorpio and it's not rooted in any form of reality.

Scorpio's GPU is the direct hardware comparative of a factory OC'd 390X, however with newer and superior architecture.

To make a long story short, a factory OC'd 390X has no trouble tackling native 4K on Ultra/Very High settings at 30 FPS, the rest should be self explanatory.
