Nice, although I prefered the name Neo...

 

[biosnake20]

What is the Scorpio going to be?

Xbox Xtreme?

Xbox One Plus

 

[adamantypants]

Looks like my guess of Pro was for the wrong console. Microsoft won't use it for Scorpio now.

Wouldn't that be great tho if MS used it too

 

[Roto Prime]

Sony, now Vita pro...

 

[Jaagen]

Great ad campaign with that name though.

True. "Wii would like to play" was brilliant.

 

[SuperBanana]

PS4K was the perfect name. Pro is awful.

 

[Sad Affleck]

I liked Neo a lot better .

 

[eFKac]

I have no strong feelings about this name.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Sony, now Vita pro...

Yes. Lets make this happen. If enough people believe, we can will it into existence.

 

[Mogwai]

Cerny sounds like a robot.

 

[Transistor]

Don't see why people are hating on the name. It's perfect for the consumers.

 

[Barry Burton]

Its not confusing and gets the point of across.

Agreed. Sony usually keeps it simple when it comes to names, and it works.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Cool stuff, wonder if downsampling is supported

 

[SlimySnake]

So this is just for the five PS4 owners who have a 4k. Not the 39.999 million ps4 owners who wanted better graphics and better framerate.

 

[xxracerxx]

Still no price.

It's gonna be $499.

Price is saved for the end, not the middle of the pitch.

 

[The Hamburglar]

I know it's a stream but it doesn't look impressive at all.

 

[wesleyshark]

Cerny sounds like a robot.

His voice is not a joy to listen to haha

 

[Shanlei91]

Neo sounds cooler but would be just as confusing as Wii U.

"Pro" gets the point across.

 

[5taquitos]

Don't see why people are hating on the name. It's perfect for the consumers.

Yep, the name is just right, makes it clear that this is still the same gen.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

I would have bet all the money on Microsoft calling the Scorpio the Xbox One Pro.

You snooze you lose, lol.

 

[thepenguin55]

Because you're a pro.

Lol, what a crappy pretentious name.

Anything less would be uncivilized.

 

[Shirow]

I don't like that name at all. Sounds dumb, I'm sure they could of came up with something better.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Cernys voice is so.... Creepy. So soft, so clammy. Eww..

 

[BlackProdigy]

this sony conference bombing

 

[Chris R]

If this works for 1440p and 4k then I think I'm in... Ugh

 

[xxracerxx]

I know it's a stream but it doesn't look impressive at all.

I mean, you can't really showcase this stuff.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Neo sounded cooler tbh

 

[Astral Dog]

So this is the PS4K? it will play games at Ultra HD?

 

[J@hranimo]

While you're saying it's a boring name, you're more than likely gonna buy it anyway.

 

[ethomaz]

Pro name.

Loved.

 

[Femto.]

So, no hard numbers for the specs?

 

[xKilltheMx]

Optical audio output? OPTICAL AUDIO OUTPUT DAMMIT

 

[- J - D -]

Naming scheme worked for Apple and Microsoft, right?

 

[Mrbob]

No price or release date?

 

[Dead Prince]

So, no hard numbers for the specs?

probably close to end of event before they announce price.

 

[Ultimadrago]

What's the price, Bob

 

[AaronMT86]

tired of all these amateur fucking PlayStation 4s around here.

[Joey Ravn]

"Pro" sounds a lot like Apple naming conventions. Even the font in logo is rather similar... I don't like it, honestly. It doesn't sound iterative enough. What's the following model going to be called? Pro 2? Will the go full Apple and release first the PS5, then PS5 Pro, in a tick-tock scheme?

 

[xxracerxx]

No price or release date?

It's still being presented!

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Neo was better then Pro

 

[MoogleWizard]

You use "pro" for devices that people ("professionals") use to create something with, like a computer, a tablet or a camera. It's a stupid name for a game console. Unless they mean professional video game players lol.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

They just confined graphical boosts for 1080p games.

Looks like games will have a "pro" setting.

 

[The Auxiliary]

Pro isn't cool tho... Neo was The One.

 

[rinse82]

I can't tell the difference in these demos

 

[Thoraxes]

Guys...

PS4 Pro
PS4P
PSP 4

I solved it.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Downsampling is supported for those with 1080p displays it seems.

If you don't know the benefits, see http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509076

 

[BravesCountry]

I only care if bloodborne and witcher 3 get a boost, would sign up day 1 for either

 

[thepenguin55]

I mean, it's the boxart discussion all over again. The cooler thing isn't really what sells sadly.

 

[Menome]

Anything less would be uncivilized.

I notice there's no black on his palette. #Shootember.

It's in the vernacular for consumers though thanks to those other products. It makes sense to consumers.

Also no one thinks that they are buying professional grade hardware that the pros use when buying Pro hardware.
