Not really, what you end up with is publishers being too cheap to properly optimize their game.

haven't been up on this half generational stuff...
But how did SONY get one upped by Microsoft byway of 4k bluray? A standard SONY mostly invented... so the new PS4.5 is not 4k bluray but the Xbone.5 is.. Dunno about the 4k streaming? And HDR?
Just kinda funny.

Considering the Xbox One S has a UHD drive and is significantly cheaper, I doubt it's only a cost issue. The more likely answer is that they just dropped the ball. Sony doesn't even have a 4K player on the market, and won't until the middle of next year, and they certainly weren't going to buy drives from someone else. They seem to think that streaming is good enough, but anyone who really cares about 4k tech knows that even the best streams don't hold a candle to a disc. The PS4 Pro could have been a really cool system, but they've held it back significantly in various ways and this was a big one.

4k TV's still haven't started to sell a bunch yet either. There's a ton on sale black friday so this will probably be the year.
What are the numbers for ps4 pro?

UHD tv's have a higher adoption rate than HDTV did during the same time period, and 4K discs are selling 4x faster than regular blu-rays did as well. Considering the price of a stand alone UHD player and that fact that a lot people bought a PS2 and PS3 just for their drives, Sony left a lot of sales on the table from people who would have bought the system just for the drive tech.
As far as total sales for the PS4 Pro, I don't think there are any concrete worldwide numbers yet but I imagine it's at least a few hundred thousand.

I have a xboner, I really should have gotten a PS4.... but oh well... and now that the half-generations are out... I WOULD have been all for the PS4 pro if it was 4k disk/uhd and 299, and I would have a PS4 and xboner... but now I just can pay $$ and... have another xbro? nah... so now they neither get me to buy something... lol guess that's okay with my bank account!

Half generations aren't out though, it's only the PS4 Pro that is a step up in hardware. The Xbone S is just a die shrink and Scorpio is still a year or so away. I agree that the Pro should have had a 4K blu-ray in it even if most people will rarely/never use it, but there was no way it was going to cost the same as the S.

So this may be the dumbest question in the history of this thread, but I haven't had a console since my PS3 died like 3 years ago. I live in a rural area and my only option is satellite internet which has a monthly data cap of 14GB and the speed varies between 10 mbps at 3AM and .1mbps at 8 PM. Lately I'm not sure why, but I've been tempted to buy a PS4 Pro. My question is, will this thing even be useable given my internet situation? I imagine it wanting to download a 2GB patch every time I stick a game in the thing and it taking hours and raping my data cap to the point where it's just not worth having. To those of you that have these things, how much updating is required and does this sound like a reasonable thing for me to do at all? I really have no clue. I doubt that I would be getting a new game more than every few months but still, if I'm going to play once a week and it's always going to have a big download to do then it's not going to be worth it to me.

Not feasible imo, unless you're ok with playing unpatched games. Looking at my recent downloads list on PS4, Dishonored 2 is currently downloading a 9.14GB patch, and I've got other huge patch DLs in there from The Division, Bloodborne, World of Final Fantasy, etc. It's known that FF XV has a day one patch that is like 7GB. All normal for games these days.

yeah i wouldn't bother getting a new console without unlimited data. watch dogs 2 latest patch (1.09, not out yet) is 22 gigs. These patches are insane for SP games and multiplayer games are constantly downloading shit tons of data. The PS4 Pro patches for older games (TLOU, Infamous, etc) are all 4-10 gigs and won't come on the disc. GTA 5 regularly gets 4 gig patches.
man how do you live with 14 gigs cap. just looked on my router and in the past 30 days I've used 755 gigs. sure, some torrents and stuff but I fucking leave twitch streaming on for my dogs when I go to the grocery store. You need that google and facebook balloon shit that will give 100 mbps over wireless.

Caps need to die, for sure, but developers could care a little more about how bloated their patches have gotten. It's more than a little ridiculous that many games have you practically download the entire game again with every patch. Even for people who have the bandwidth and cap space it's annying as hell to be constantly downloading multiple gig patches.
I would have probably bought a Pro to replace my standard if it were 4k capable as well, but the combination of that plus their gimping it to keep "parity" made it a no buy for me. I have an Xbone as well so I'll skip the S, but if Microsoft lets the Scorpio use it's full power and doesn't hamstring it based on the original I will without a doubt be buying on of those next year.
