"No compromises between resolution and framerate"
This seems like a strange boast. What do they mean by that? Surely there is always a compromise between resolution and framerate.
Means probably 2160p @ 60 fps
Yup, they already stated that Scorpio will play all older games at 4k while maintaining 60FPS.
I can't wait to see how many of them end up being 1890p or some other weirdo resolution rescaled.....
It's just meaningless sales talk.Quote:

Assuming the console correctly identifies where it's connected to a 4k TV it could even automatically select the lower IQ settings so the whole process is transparent to the end user...
What struck me as a strange boast was "The most powerful graphics processor ever in a console". Assuming their big news is a next-gen console, it'd be weird if it didn't out-power both their own previous offerings, and the best the competition currently have. After all, the high-end console war is pretty much a game of leap-frog between MS and Sony.Quote:

If this is merely another opportunity to snoop, data gather and advertise, then my buying decision will be the same as for the XBO. If this is a platform for that, then regardless of how good a gaming platform it is, it's not for me.
I hope to be pleasantly surprised, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for the leopard to de-spot itself. So my working assumption is .... no thanks.

I'd be astonished if this isn't their PS4 Pro equivalent, the Xbox One upgrade codename "Scorpio". Which, similarly, will be a better spec SoC which can run existing games at a better framerate/resolution than the existing console.
I think the best thing they could do is drop the Xbox One brand name still derisively nicknamed Xbone across the net, however I have a strong feeling they are going to stick with calling it Xbox One Elite or Ultra.
Call it Xbox 520 then brand the old Xbox One's as "520 edition" via firmware update so there no one left behind and Xbone buried in the ground.
Xbox One is still a bad name for a box and Microsoft's one branding company wide never really took off apart from OneDrive, that and the console market is highly conservative, it likes things being properly numbered.
"Brace for more of the same, but newer" FTFY.
It is, its basically an Xbox One with 4KQuote:
