There are other ways to compensate them, like free copies of games, money for working at a website, traffic clicks, money from site adds, etc.

Paying for a favorable "opinion" is nothing more than a conflict of interest.

To gain much more sales and want from enthusiasts.

It's the only thing i could come up with, no right minded company would do this, and it's not a manufacturing mistake.

How many of these 12 games are third person?

sony fanboys are hypocrites

first it was all about the FPS,resolution and GFX,now it's all about the games

What's the point of it then? Devs won't take full advantage of the hardware.

Whether you are team PS4 or team Xbox One. We aren't even 3 years into the PS4 or Xbox One. It feels completely disingenuous to be releasing "new hardware" at this point. This is not "PS4 slim" or "Xbox One slim". This is all new hardware which should have had these capabilities int he very beginning and I think it's obvious that unless you own a 4K TV, there is NO POINT to buy the new console.

If they sell it at too great a cost for themselves, they're gonna have to step up their game in terms of exclusive offerings to make up for it. If they sell it at too high a price, and the PS Neo sells for less, we're going to have a repeat performance of what's already happening right now. However, it might have some appeal to people who aren't looking to use it as an Xbox if instead they can use it as a powerful, inexpensive PC, or something.

Now to answer you're question, Will scorpio turn the tide in the console wars? The answer is simply NO, as I stated above why it WON'T turn the tide.

Sure. It's not like the metagame is even around anymore, and some Sony fans have been saying "Sony Exclusive" for a while.
