Prior to that I was not planning on getting PS4 Pro. After it, I'm still not planning on it. I have a feeling a proper PS4 successor will be announced in 2019* (6 years after PS4, 3 years after PS4 Slim/PS4 Pro). I can wait. Besides, I don't even have a 4KTV.
*I could also see it being 2018.

lets all burn our gaming consoles and pcs and go outside and play.

I have no idea why they have fucked with the progress of the PS4 (which was runaway) to put out a confusing box that no-one seems to want apart from those weirdos that pre-order everything.
I doubt it will flop because it's reasonably priced but this isn't a good look for a company that tried so hard to convince people they were "for the players"?

Sorry, why is this the case?

Take your system wars level down a bit.
Honestly its a very odd move on Sony's part. They have a TV division, they are on the bluray board, why their new console wont support 4k blurays is nuts. There is no 4k broadcast TV, and streaming quality isn't anywhere near physical not to mention the bandwidth requirements. So in a year when 4k TVs reach mass market prices the Scorpio(if priced attractively) would be a more attractive purchase.

Xbox plays UHD blu-rays

Does 4K streaming, does HDR, does UHD Blu Ray, costs $100 less.
We nearly got it. Nearly.

In truth if I planned to get Final Fantasy XV I'd seriously consider the PS4p. In these three years that's the one PS4/XB1 game that's looking held back by the hardware, that's not available on PC.

If you don't have a PS4 at all, the Pro is a no brainer. $100 more dollars for a slight bump in processing and graphical power with 4K uprez futureproofing is worth it.
If you already own a PS4, unless there's a sensational trade-in program, moving to the Pro doesn't seem worth it.

I took the leap and pre-ordered one of these things. Most of the games I have in the pipeline are seeing some sort of upgrade, and I like that. I'm sorta into the idea of having some kind of graphical options on a console. There's something sorta novel about it. With that being said, the meeting didn't do a great job and explaining the thing. The real meat and potatoes of the information came from the interviews afterward. The uninformed consumer are going to expect better performance and graphics, and that's what they're going to get. Maybe not on every single game, but most of the big titles are seeing improvements. That's sorta OK.
I don't have a 4K TV, and honestly, I have been looking at them for the last month or so. I don't have my heart set on one in particular, but the ones that I've liked have had HDR, so that's nice.
I don't think consumers are going to be too confused about it. I think it's going to sell well.

That TGS talk on this week's bombcast is kinda depressing.
Windwaker and Mario Bros 2 are the kind of hot trash Giant Bomb likes

It has a really phenomenal style to it. It's the best looking Zelda game, including what we've seen of the new one. The dungeons and overall game design is lacking, yes. So the further you get from playing it, the fonder your memories of it will be.
Yeah I like the graphics and style.
But yeah.. There's like 3 dungeons total in the game that you keep going back to.
Oh Dan....
Even though leaks have gotten out there, I reaaaally want to see what's up with NX officially. The PS4 Pro thing made me realize that as nice as spec bumps are, there's not much to be excited about (to me at least).
I don't even know if I'll get an NX, but seeing whatever left field thing they're up to will be fun. I hope the Direct is sooner than later.

Now someone is going to find an old Game Informer video or something with Dan using the word subsidizing correctly.

I keep saying (and it's a rather bad game) that it was cramming 10 years of innovation into 5(?) years of development and into only one budget. And with Suzuki in charge, it's no surprise it was crazy.
Ton of news today, almost all of it a joke.
Maybe NeXt week will have something worth a shit.
what if the NX is just a module you plug in your PS4 to play 4k blurays?!
I didn't even realize that was next week. Cool.

I hope they talk about it soon. Most people agree that September is the month, but you can never really predict what Nintendo are going to do. I wouldn't put it past them to not talk about it until November/December.
Miyamoto being in American gives me hope that he was up in Redmond filming some stuff for the NX thing. There are a lot of rumors out there, but they either get debunked or there are a lot of reasons to question the people spreading these rumors. Nintendo have had this thing really close to their chest. It's impressive, actually.
Since Dan reads this thread, and this is going to be more than 140 characters, I'll help him out.
You need to break the word down to its root to understand it.
Sub = a Sandwich.
Si = "yes" in Spanish.
Diz = Short for Dizzy
Ed = A dude.
So if something is subsidized, it means it got dizzy when some guy named Ed offered it a sandwich and it said yes.
Never trust Ed's sandwiches.

As far as I know, that's just speculation still. I'm not holding my breath for it even getting revealed this year.

Enjoying that GB's coverage of the PSPro launch is as comprehensive as possible.
Dumb talkover from GB West with GB East cameo.
Written thoughts from Jeff giving people some more context.
Full thoughts on Beastcast from the guys on the ground who have seen it running in person.

Enough players want a more powerful console for it to sell very well. It only costs $50 more than the 1 TB Xbox One S.
I also bought a WiiU for those two games, but it only cost $200, so I don't regret it at all.
TMS #FE was a nice bonus game.

I can see a lot of people either wanting a handheld (NX) to compliment their existing PS4, or new buyers waiting to see what Xbox have in the pipeline before committing.
If the rumoured specs for Scoprio are true, it might as well be a new generation right at the time where 4K is right on the verge of taking off.
I'm certainly in this boat. I can go a few games without pro mode over the next 12 months before seeing how things lie.
As a current PS4 owner, I kind of feel left behind by Sony but with not enough incentive to buy the new shit they're selling. The reaction so far seems to tie in with that.
