The Xbox One outsold the PS4 for the second half of 2016 in NA.
But that's people trading in and new consoles, which doesn't count unless they're buying a PS4 slim or Pro, in which case it's further proof of Sony's dominance #rawr.

The TV needs capable hardware, yes! Please explain why a player needs some exclusive chip from Dolby... I'm honestly not buying it because it does not follow logic.The device has to have the hardware built in.
Nothing can get the upgrade unless its there already from reading through the threads
on my TV(the only TV to get it that I am aware of)They say the TV had the hardware all along but Sony and Dolby didn't come to terms until it was announced this Jan @ CES.
No UHDBR player that doesn't say its getting it will get it as the hardware isn't there.
I wish it was that easy cause than I could just keep this Samsung UHDBR player.

If Sony can process a half-4K to 4K checkerboard image, which is actually a 2-step process, surely a videogame processor can handle whatever demands Dolby wants for HDR. There is no way it is that hard, you just need processing and the software to tell it what to do. I know that there is some back and forth communication with the display, but that shouldn't matter. It's just data and processing, same as anything. Any capable hardware could do that, on the player end.
It's a license thing though, for sure. For this reason, Microsoft might not ever cater to Dolby.
Think you're misunderstanding. The 360 was $500 if you're equating today's money. $400 then is equal to $500 now. So it launched for what is $500 in today's money and did well. Scorpio can drop price in year two or three as well.
I'm going to continue to be stubborn and say that a chip solution should not be required for PC/console.
MS is evil. They also want to make money. In MS' case these are the same thing, which in turn makes them doubly evil.Hey everybody, ok now predict why will it suck for some.
Educated guesses based on the past slams on every MS console please.
No changeable faceplates this time?
Too big, too small, too black too white, not a Playstation...

I don't think it could be any clearer now back to hoping Scorpio has it.
Isn't that what the Scorpio is for? Harcore gamers?Who said it didn't count? I traded my PS4 in the day after I got my Pro, nobody said it only happens for Xbox owners. BTW the slim PS4 was looked at as a downgrade by a lot of original owners for lacking the optical audio output and just the overall design so I doubt many traded their originals in for that one, for the Pro I have no doubt a lot were traded in. You can't judge how well a console is doing by it's launch anyway, the Wii U did really well at it's launch, it was sold out but now look at it. That's why I don't get people thinking MS can charge $500 for Scorpio and think it'll do well, they've been there and done that with that price point and it didn't work. After the hardcore xbox fans buy it sales will tank at that price, it's not a good way to grow the user base or gain market share.
It is only an issue because the PS doesn't have one. If the opposite were true and the PS had a power brick the xbox would suck because it doesn't have one. Spin doctors would claim the PS needs all that juice that only a separate brick provides because #sonycaresScorpio just has to be a killer box as in the packaging itself. I expect something surprisingly slim and sweet. I have zero issue with an external power brick.
spin to win!
What do you have against pregnant women?Im sorry but everytime someone posts this gif I get disgusted. What the hell....

I guess we'll have to wait to see what's under the hood. All this cost talk is pure speculation. I'm sure it won't be cheap though.I'm sure they'll want to sell more than just a couple of million of these things.

I think people thinking it will be small are in for a rude awakening. The Pro is bigger than the PS4, and the Scorpio will have more stuff, like the need for more cooling, and if rumors are true, then more RAM.
I get that, but those are hardware players. The newer ones have the required processor, or in the case of the firmware upgradable ones, probably the processing equivalent. I'm not saying that isn't the norm for a hardware player, to be required a specific type of chipset. I'm saying that a PC or console (which is basically a PC, in this case) should just be able to use whatever processors that it has. They may not have released a software solution at this point, but it sure as hell is possible.When none of the launch players get DV you will see.
d00d I read pages and pages on this very thing @AVSF
You know you can tuck it under the TV like every normal person that doesn't build an alter for their console in the middle of their living room. Just saying...Its a issue because its cumbersome
