...of a quite upgraded XBox One? I don't like this idea of releasing sort-of new consoles, rather than proper new consoles. So what is the Scorpio, a generation 8.5 console? And I'm still unclear how the graphics are better.

they're 60 frames per second or 4k. Probably some games will even run at 4k/60fps but I'll wait and see if that actually happens before I commit to that statement. 4k/60 is hard even for PC gamers.

But, why didn't they just release a new full console? The Switch is already out, Sony and Microsoft might be losing ground (although that depends on how the Switch sells its first year, I guess).

One thing that neither of those companies ever have to worry about is losing ground to fucking Nintendo lol.

There isn't going to be a new console. There are just going to be hardware upgrades to the current one. Like what Apple does with phones.

Profit margins are far greater for software than consoles

yes but without selling the console you can't sell the software for the console.

Except for 7 years when Nintendo was doing much better with the Wii, which was a runaway success.

I'm gonna pick one up next year when I get a 4k TV. I think it's a great idea and I'm stoked

MS is probably going the route of making the Xbox One a single platform with upgrades every few years instead of the traditional gen thing.

That was then, this is now.

I have a Switch but not once did it cross my mind that it might compete with the PS4/Xbone when I bought it
