Albert didn't say "at launch", he said "I don't see anything better on the competing platform"
They should give him a raise.

Could he possibly be referring to the PSEye and not PS+??
You misunderstood. The first part where he talks about multi-tasking he is talking about installing the game to the hard drive and doing something else while it does that. The second part he is talking about load times in the games themselves and how developers can lower them.
So often I see people misquote or misunderstand what interviewees are saying, it was not that hard to understand and it leads to a lot of negativity where there really should be none.

That was a really great interview. Gj Sessler and Penello.
Yea I think its a mashup of all the positive ones but even still thats alot of positive comments for youtube lol.
To each their own but to say xbox is outclassed when it comes to games is a bit much.

I can't respond to this. I actually had a better articulated response but I deleted it on accident. I meant what I said.
No, it's not. I don't have a list for you but I assume you're versed in how many games have been announced for each platform. I can't believe this would even be a valid comparison right now. I know I'm not the only one who's seen the games that have been announced for PS4 that have not been announced for Xbone. And yes, that includes the pesky indies.

True, though when looking at facts you should keep rumors separated.
I'd like to view that particular video though. I know it was a Sessler's Something, but not sure which one and don't want to wade through the entire Rev3 feed.

I remember he said (paraphrasing) to get the same package like Xbox one you need PS4 + PSplus + PSEye =500$ so Xbox is not expansive.
I think there were clearly some bizarre communication problems at the start, but mostly I agree with what you are saying. Not to mention, a number of other companies have readily introduced consumers to "digital experience" policies by now and console customers certainly aren't unaware of it after this last 7-8 yr cycle. It shouldn't be so hard to build on that if you had the right policy updates in the first place...

The launch line-ups are extremely close in numbers with each system having their own exclusives...

So MS. Didn't learn from the last time...? *sigh*
Speaking of Sessler, did he ever explain what Sony was "lying" to us about?
You're asking for a thread derail, bad idea.

These type of post are ridiculous.
Always have to shit up any positive Xbox threads. It gets very old very fast.

So the truth is coming out now that the 180 has gotten them a small amount of good will. Just try and push that shit again MS.
It isn't really surprising considering Microsoft is just now opening up its platform for indies

I agree. Even though I have doubts about games on both platforms. You're on the money though.
This is true. I look forward to the coming months. Their turn is a little late but it's a turn that deserves praise.

Let's not get into this.
Preferences of respective platform's line-up of games is a subjective matter, there's no right or wrong in preferring one over the other.
Some may feel that Titanfall is worth more than 10 PS4 exclusives, and likewise for Second Son against all other XB1 exclusives, more power to respective individuals. ( even if we respectfully disagree with their stance )
Presumably he means the Xbox One is the more refined product, equivalent to a well balanced 400bhp Porsche?
It is getting slightly annoying how MS are attempting to portray their system as the more sophisticated console, they also talk about Kinect and "snap", as if they are mind blowing, must have, features.........
Taking into account everything I've seen and read, the PS4 is the more refined console, it also packs more power to boot (how much more is arguable). PS4's UI appears slick and intuitive, instant play, sharing etc. look to be genuinely useful features. The media side is covered with forward looking services like Netflix and the rumoured cable streaming, meanwhile the Xbox One is tethering you to antiquated cable boxes in an era when cutting the cord is gathering steam.
Opinions.
What he says is digital is coming in this industry just like it has in every other, it is just a matter of when. Anyone that doesn't see this happening industry wide is insane
I understood your post, so I'm not sure what that gif response was exactly meant to imply.
In any case, It's interesting that they compare the PS4 to the Corvette. In this instance it would be the PS4 that is the Porsche as well. Smaller, lighter, better engineered, faster and with more performance customisations.
A better vehicular comparison is probably that the PS4 is like a Nissan GT-R black whilst the Xbox One is a new Mustang.
Why? The latest sp footage looked great.

That's why I don't want to list. I have seen the [strike[TitanFall[/s] video in its entirety.
Who would put TitanFall on top of 10 PS4 exclusives? I know some games are awesome but I don't know anyone who won't notice games of all types and ignore all that for just one.
It's not the thread for this but I have no problem saying what I said. Opinions only fly so much. After a while, the amount of games comes into play.
At least you're not asking for some DBZ comparison.

You had dramatically limited options regarding reselling of games, and they never even made it clear exactly how it all worked. So yeah, I'm not going to take any of that as being just like it is now. It clearly wasn't.

That definitely seems like the new hot thing to do. Anything positive said about the One is immediately characterized as bullshit or corporate shilling.
I agree with what he said about the adoption of the Kinect. You pretty much have to do it at launch to put it as a viable option for developers. It's the only way we will see anything beyond fluff and gimmick (if there's anything else to be had).
I'm going to just assume that GAF thinks anyone getting both systems (like me) is retarded because one option is OBVIOUSLY better.
It's their product. What do you expect them to do?
Features in all of those areas will be on the Xbox One too.
???
Both systems will have this. Heck, the Xbox 360 can already stream cable.

It's just your opinion. Forza and Halo are better than any Sony IP I have played (although 3rd parties are my favorite this gen) so saying "outclassed' isn't even something you can prove with a list. It's all down to what people want to play.

Nothing! I said nothing!
It isn't that they are less of games than any other games. Its that they don't sell consoles, if they did the Vita would be selling. Sony giving them away for free doesn't exactly help show their value either.
TV on the XB1 is not going to rely solely on cable boxes. It will rely on apps/integration with cable providers and have cable boxes as a fall back.
Time Warner Cable already announced that their XB1 plans would be announced in the future. If it was simply using cable boxes they wouldn't need to have plans.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were timed exclusives and that's why they haven't been announced.
Then again, they could be exclusive by default due to the old policy of no self publishing and they will eventually appear on the console since MS realised how stupid a restriction it was and 180'd.
Holy nitpicking...
He said he'd personally like to see loading go away, not that they will actually go away. He is also talking about eliminating mid-level loading like in open world games.
I question your numbers but it doesn't matter because he is talking about the original xbox, not 360.
He said the features that relied on their original plans are on pause while they go back to the drawing board. Also, he is right -- discs will die eventually just like in every medium

It also has an air of truth to it. He has consistently cited PS+ (and now the camera) in the price of PS4 in order to compare it with the Xbox one, meanwhile not citing XBL in the comparison. He claimed that Sony was withholding information about their no drm policy while in the same breath defending the Xbox one DRM. He feigns ignorance about Hardware specs, while in an earlier video expressing concern over the way PS4 allocates its ram. Among other things that you should know if you do watch his videos on a consistent basis.
The guy is completely disingenuous, and anyone who has watched his videos can pick out the points where his bias lays.
This pretty much it. He went out of his way during the entire debacle to defend MS and the only thing that saved him from looking as ridiculous as TotalBiscuit during the entire ordeal was the fact that Sessler is a pretty chill, even-spoken guy.
The fact that he has that demeanor makes it even more infuriating when he's constantly doing crap like adding in the cost of PS+ to the PS4 purchase price and ignoring XBLive cost in the same equation. It's ridiculous.

Apparently with PS4, you can watch cable channels without the cable box (deal not sealed yet).
