Yeah, in its initial 2 years the PS4 sales were higher than the PS2's. PS2 was around for ages though, PS4 will not last as long in my opinion

Agreed I think it will be replaced sooner. Console gaming is still going strong though.
Arguably this faster pace of replacement might encroach on the PC side of gaming. I know the Scorpio/Pro makes me think long and hard about upgrading my rig much more.

Noticed i had elder scrolls online in my ready to install list, never purchased this
Im guessing it's some sort of free trial.

Its massively different for Xbox though, as that's where the UWP kicks in, all the base coding for a PC and Xbox will be the same.no need to get into the ps4 v's xbox one debacle chaps!!!
I've always said its best to go for the platform you or your mates already game on. Both have their strengths and weaknesses.
I've had two xbox one S's - both were terrible for fan noise - its the same on my new one so I've just resigned to the fact they've used cruddy fans in them. GOW4 is a prime example of what I mean by poor performance - single or compaign graphics look great, go into horde mode and it all scales down looking like an xbox 360 title (well not that bad lol!).
Stuttering wise how do you guys not notice the lag in when you press the XBOX button on your controller whilst in a game for example? - Navigating around the menu's (whilst in the main menu's) stutters as the console initially loads up all the internet stuff (obviously going to be a delay here as its internet based). FH3 yesterday was pausing for a second or two and I've experienced the same with GOW. It's not a dodgy console as it was a similar experience with the older one.
We'll see what scorpio offers just like Robgmun says - it depends what the developers do and how MS go about making it all compatible with the existing xbox ones as to how well it will perform in games. DAMN IT ROB! - Hell musta frozen over - we've agreed on somat again lol!
What I will concede to MS for is that smexeh Elite controller - love it to bits.
Well considering we have something like 250 x360 games that now work on the X1 and the rumours that MS might get orginal xbox games working I would say probally a good job, also the Scorpio is likely to be x86 so will be even easier to make it backwards compatible etc

I'm talking about backwards compatibility/performance with existing Xbox One titles - not the older 360 titles. Much akin to what we are seeing with the PS4 Pro now - its a bit all over the place in terms of performance increase.
Also consider me skeptical after hearing how that magic 32Mb of SRAM (or whatever it was MS says is in the xbox one) was claimed to be enough to keep up with the PS4's raw power. That will be used in the game coding - how will the loss of this or the increase of this impact? - Time will tell.
Its all too fuzzy just yet to be taken as gospel that you will see 4 or 5x the increase in game performance just because the hardware is 4 or 5x more capable......hence I shall remain platform agnostic for now

Received my 2nd replacement S today. Finally a silent one.
You do know why xbox is slower right?
it's using 8GB DDR3 vs PS4 8GB GDDR5
ESRAM used as a cache to help it against GDDR5 memory bandwidth advantage. (xbox only item, needs to be coded for)
Everything else is the same in both consoles, but xbox is running higher clock rate for both CPU and GPU.
if xbox used GDDR5, things will be very different now.

?? Xbox only had 2/3 the GPU cores that the PS4 did. I would say that is the main deficiency.
not disabled? i could be wrong only working from my old memory
i was trying to remember whats different between two consoles vs new ones coming out ps4 pro vs xbox scorpio

Wow xbox team done great job with forza horizon 3, gears 4 and halo 5.
zoomie comment 'if games are going use extra power from xbox scorpio'
They have done great job getting games performance this close to ps4 with current hardware limits, xbox development team have worked really hard to close the gap.
Can't see them not using extra performance.
Probably not. You can just hook up an external drive anyway.

I got a 2tb external hooked up to my 500gb XB1, but like you I use my PS4 primarily for games.
I only have Horizon 3 installed on it so far! It's going to take a while for me to fill it up seen as I only get the exclusives I want to play on the XB platform. Nice to have the space but looking back I should have either not bothered with extra external storage or got a smaller drive.

After a quick search, a 1TB HDD is roughly £50.00 so no. You get the extra space. Plus 7200RPM if you can find one. But having said that I have a 1TB HDD hooked up to my XB1S. I have another one in the house, Somewhere
