No, I'm a Sagittarius.

Hurr hurr.

I have no idea what a Scorpio is.

No because the xbone did itself a good enough job of making me want nothing from it with lack of exclusive games.

My ps4 works just fine and I don't see the point in shelling out more money for minor improvements. I only play exclusives really on it otherwise everything I play is on my PC.

I have zero interest in Xbox exclusives so even if it was ten times as powerful as the ps4 and brewed you coffee I still wouldn't actually ever want one.
pretty much this, I was considering getting a Xbox one S a while ago but when I looked up the games it had I could find maybe one or 2 I would play, compared to the many PS4 exclusives (3 or 4 so far this year alone)

Nope, Xbox is a shit console anyway. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get Bloodborne or Uncharted 4 to run on the darn thing!

No. Owning a regular PS4 did that, and it works fine for me.
In the case of the Xbox 1/Scorpio, the only thing that it has on offer is Killer Instinct. And even that does not justify an extra console.

The xbone literally does not have a single exclusive that interests me. The online thing I cared about is Killer Instinct, which I now have on PC.

The only way any Xbox would stop me from buying a Playstation is by having more interesting exclusives, and since all of its games are on PC as well that's never happening.

The PS4 Pro is the only current console I have, because I also have a gaming PC, so the reasons for me to get an Xbox are sitting at a pretty even zero right now. They have, what, Sunset Overdrive? Because yet another open-world zombie game is exactly what I need, even if it does at least have an interesting style to it.

I have an Xbox one and a PS4 pro, as well as a 4K tv, I considered a Scorpio at one point until I realized there are literally zero games exclusive to the Xbox that I am interested in. Persona, Nier, Horizon, bloodborne, some are PC as well but none will be on the Scorpio so what's the fucking point, I'm pretty up on buying things at launch l, but Halo and Gears is not enough to buy a new system, even my Switch at least has Mario Kart, splatoon, and the base Mario games as well as several other titles coming out, looking out to the end of 2017 for Xbox exclusives is like looking into a vast wasteland.

What is the point of a more powerful system if it has no games worth buying on it, Microsoft seems to be stalling on the first Party front, and even if they do release an exclusive worth playing, their Windows 10 platform means I can just play it on my computer with even better hardware than the Scorpio anyway and stream it to my tv using an Xbox controller if I absolutely have to. The Scorpio is occupying a niche where the only games worth buying on it would be multi platform third party games that are only being released on PS4 and Xbox with no PC release. Maybe it will work for other people that don't have good PCs but there's little reason I see for me to get one when Microsoft seems to have dropped their exclusives off a cliff.

Nope. That I have zero interest in getting a PS4 Pro is what kept me from buying a PS4 Pro.

I already have a PS4 and a damn good gaming PC. I have almost no reason at all to get an Xbone or Scorpio. And as the PS4 Pro offers me very little in the form of benefits over what my PS4 already offers (i.e. the games), I have no reason to buy it either.

One could argue for PSVR, but it works on the non-Pro PS4 as well. And even so, I already have a Vive, so it's doubly irrelevant.

Why would you even get a Xbox at this point. Doesn't buying a game on one get you the other? Kinda feel like Microsoft killed the Xbox with that move. Why even have an Xbox if you have a decent PC?

No? I guess.

I already have a Ps4, don't have a 4k TV, and there's not really much to the Pro other then the 4k stuff right now. The only game that officially does anything with Pro that I have is Zero Dawn, which is apparently just a colour pallette upgrade or something.

Its a maybe down the line (the main selling point is the increased hard drive space right now, but I could get a terabyte SSD for my existing PS4 for the same amount), but nothing to warrant buying the first run.

Xbox doesn't have any exclusives I have any real interest in, and I hate their controller, so Scorpio having hypothetical power doesn't matter much.

I've had no interest in the Scorpio since the beginning, I ended up getting a PS4 Pro because there was a promotion going on with the ISP I was going to join anyway that got me $200 off a PS4 Pro. I've got an Xbox One S and I've turned it on exactly once since I bought it. I don't understand how any Xbox gamer could be happy right now, they have like.. nothing, except third party games, while the competition crank out the same third party games, or kick ass exclusives, or both in the case of the PS4.

What's the point of the Scorpio at this point? What exactly are you going to play on it?

To put it into perspective, the PS4 released more console exclusives in January alone than the Xbox One has confirmed for this entire year.

Here's the list, and this doesn't even include the 13 or so exclusives that were already released this year on the PS4. It's quite sad really, I would like a reason to turn on my Xbox One S at some point, the original reason was unfortunately cancelled (scalebound).



Microsoft are going to have to have one hell of a big E3 to convince me the Scorpio is worth anything, but I fear that the majority of their presentation will be purely about the Scorpio hardware and we'll get bugger all game announcements.

I don't care how powerful Scorpio is, Microsoft has no games to tempt me into buying it, besides i have a PC. PS4 PRO is my first console since the ps1 and i have no regrets with my decision.

How is Disgaea 5 complete an exclusive?
The game is getting ported from the PS4 to the Switch under that name. It's an "exclusive" because apparently DLC is sold separately for the PS4 version, whereas the Switch version comes with all DLC included - hence the name.

I'm getting a Scorpio because it's a UHD player.
I'm getting it *instead* of a stand-alone UHD player because there are some key Xbox 360 titles that I really don't want to give up. Chief among them, Guardian Heroes, but I'm hoping that some of the remaining Sega classics make it over + some other games.

And Halo and Rare replay are cool, I guess.
