"In fact, Nielsen reports that just 72 percent of gamers have ever heard of the Xbox One, let alone something as cryptic sounding as Project Scorpio."

Where did they go to conduct this survey, Antarctica? Statistically likely a bad survey. Also, my bet is that if you asked 13-20, 21-30, and 30+ year old gamers the same questions you would get totally different results

I have yet to see a Switch in public let alone know anyone personally who bought one.

PS4 Pro has been out for awhile, Scorpio isn't until the end of the year I think.

Bought a Switch on Day 1 but there's literally 3 games on it so I wouldn't recommend it right now

I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed to not have exclusive games the original xbone won't play.

which means it's DoA

When the Xbone was first announced, they confirmed that it was impossible for it to work without Kinect. When nobody was buying it, they went back on that and released them without the Kinect. Their word means nothing

Technically no because you have to purchase it!?!?

Also completely handicaps most games because lack of bumpers?

Where did they go to conduct this survey, Antarctica? Statistically likely a bad survey. Also, my bet is that if you asked 13-20, 21-30, and 30+ year old gamers the same questions you would get totally different results


This is that nonsense definition that counts 12 year old girls who play Candy Crush on their phones as "gamers."

I think the OP nailed it. If I really cared about graphics or frame rate I would just own a PC. I already have both consoles and don't give a damn about these new ones.

In fact, depending on things shake out with these new consoles I may be done with console gaming anyway.

I also do not think that they should have split their sample as 50/50 boys and girls. They should definitely include more boys that represents the population. I'd say 75/25 would be more accurate representation of the gamer population.

Putting aside those arguments, Nielsen says 64 percent of the US population qualifies a gamer, having played some type of mobile, console, or PC game in the past year.


And there we are. Why would my mom playing a hidden object finding game on her smart phone matter to the likes of Sony and Microsoft? They don't give a damn about her. They give a damn about people who are likely to buy and play a home console system.

Entire article is stupid.

I have an Xbone collecting dust and my PC (also a 3DS, but wow I almost forgot about that one), and I'm not interested in getting anything else. I'm just really questioning why should I keep getting all this separate hardware to play games when I don't really need to, say, buy a Fender amp to play a guitar made by Fender.
