Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
It kind of reminds me of the iPhone 4 or 5 announcement, was just kind of underwhelming because Samsung was hitting it's stride and they and other competitors had already released phones that while maybe not as powerful out-featured the iPhone, which had been held in such high regard and moved the goalposts every year w/ what could be done on mobile devices.This is the first time in a long time I've been relatively disappointed with Sony. The Slim is overpriced and under-spec'd compared to its current competition and the Pro is massive, ugly, and will also find itself out-spec'd by next year.
I guess we'll see. It's not often I find myself underwhelmed, but here I am feeling exactly that.
We could see Sony in a similar situation if they're not interested in doing the iterative console bit and Microsoft pushes out consoles every ~4 years. Outclassed for a bit, make up some ground, then quickly outclassed again, similar to iPhones now.
For 4k consumption, the One S covers all the media bases and then some w/ 4k streaming, and UHD disc playback. The value proposition then is the rendering difference, which they didn't really touch on much, so will consumers even really care or see a difference in these products if they are looking at a $299 One S and a $399 PS4 Pro on the shelf, while the difference between the PS4 S and Pro is clearly 4k?
They didn't touch on any other things like 1080p streaming (Remote Play to PC and Twitch/Youtube) that they've certainly added with the pro, right? Wouldn't that be worth mentioning?Comment

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
Agreed.
What I don't understand though, if that's the case, is why not just release the Slim at $250 and undercut it, then delay the Pro until next year and spec it up?
Again, right now, we have two machines that, combined are neither cheaper nor offer ALL the features that the S does. It just doesn't make sense to me.Comment

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
I totally missed that point. They didnt mention anything about having a UHD player in it. Wonder what the thought process was for that.
Still going to get the Pro though but surprised it didnt have one built in. Not a big deal for me since I havent bought a physical movie disk in about 5 years now.PSN: ckarlic

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
I think it would be pretty wise for Sony to put an emphasis on showing the increased rendering on 1080p with Pro vs base at future conferences"Successful people do not celebrate in the adversity or misfortune of others."

Because Sony wants a 4K machine on the market. They had these two designs in place. The issue is, I think we will see yet another Ps4 in the next 18 months with Scorpio coming.

I'm not sure what to think but the Sony meeting today may have just convinced me to buy the Xbox One S.Comment

This is the kind of stuff I need to see in depth. Hopefully not all from off screen shots"Successful people do not celebrate in the adversity or misfortune of others."

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
This would make sense to me, because I want to buy the Pro, but I can't find a reason to buy it.I am the lesson after the fall.Comment

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
Yeah that picture sucks
In general, I think they need to try and show a legit difference in side by shot shots before Nov 10"Successful people do not celebrate in the adversity or misfortune of others."

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
The thing is..I plan on getting a 4K tv in the near future but I have absolutely zero interest in this Pro.
I like the PS4 as it is right now. I'm not some pixels whore...so I just don't get the need for this system and clearly new systems which are sure to start coming down the pike.
But keep getting that money Sony.Comment

Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread
For me, I want a 4K machine that plays UHD with both HDR-10 & Dolby Vision. Looks like I just need to pick up a good UHD player and keep the PS4.PSN-Shugarooo
