I'm ok with Multiplatform games plus killzone and Reogun on PS4. I'd have bought lego, NFS and ACIV on PS3, so being able to play them in higher quality is worth doing. If I'm going to buy a console next year at the same price, why not buy it now and improve some of this winters games?

Most of them are reviewing potential instead of the reality today, so sadly that word is needed.
its not that their tech is not advanced enough. Right now voice recognition works that way. I am using dragon speaking that I believe is more advanced than ms one and there still the same problems. You have to speak clearly and use the commands that recognizes. Don't talk to it like you talk to your friend.
dragon has a nice tutorial for all of that that ms should copy.
And dragon is improving when is listening you so I believe Kinect will do the same.

Truest words spoken. It's disappointing the amount of bickering and attempted one-up manship going on.
We should be celebrating the launch of the new consoles instead of trying to tell other people why they should or should not care about x features of either console. Biggest problem at the moment is people trying to justify their purchase to other people on this forum when really you don't need to justify yourself to anyone but yourself.
PS4 got great coverage last week, XB1 is getting great coverage this week, just enjoy the launch of new consoles! Perhaps PS4 doesn't have enough exclusives and perhaps XB1 feature list isn't as complete as it should be but they will improve over time.

Clearly it's not done cooking. Looks like my decision to wait was the right one.
The whole "Redbox by Verizon" thing is ridiculous. I feel dirty just typing it out

So after reading some reviews it seem the X1 OS half baked just like PS4 but we all expected that .
What i do find funny is how out of touch the main stream press is when it comes to how a good amount of young people watch TV ( view content ) these days .
Either way still early and i look forward to see how it goes for both consoles

Apparently, only the Bing searches use cloud powa.
Interesting, what gets auto-deleted?

I believe it saves all the data to the cloud before it deletes anything and fetches it when you want to use or open whatever it was that was deleted. In any case, no one is going to be maxing out their console harddrive on day one, and it seems like an easy enough fix if it becomes a real problem.
Apparently it was whatever is the oldest thing you have, not sure if they meant oldest as in longest installed or longest since used though.

Hmmm... what was that that Polygon were saying about "paying for potential" in their PS4 review again? Pretty sure it wasn't presented as a positive in that instance :/

Being rushed confirmed?
Also, no battery level meter for the controller? What kind of stupid crap is that? What year is it?

Not really, just reality of voice recognition. Which is perplexing how anyone would think this is a good idea. 10-20% failure rates mean everyone will stop using it soon. This is justa gimmick.

Wow, great reviews. We'll see how that translates to sales but this is why you don't base a console's general success based off of NeoGAF.

Yea but the UI looks to be designed with voice controls in mind since navigating it with a controller is quite clunky (according to reviews), so if the voice commands suck what are you left with?
There are also numerous innaccuracies in these reviews, which is why you don't use mainstream press as a source of success either.
So Polygon gives it a .5 advantage over the PS4. Tha's pretty much how they rate first party Sony games and first party Microsoft games compared to the metacritic avarage of said first party games, with a .5 advantage to Microsoft.

Guess the sample size isn't all that, but it fits the theme...
Having said that, I don't know how their hardware reviews are compared to the internet avarage...

A big mess. I think they xbox UI and kinect were just misplaced hope that it would magically work somehow.

I really expected Kinect to be better than what the reviews stated. Using a pad is still the way to go over voice control.

Most people use consoles to play games.
Most games people play are multiplatform titles.
One would think that the fact that multiplatform titles look noticably better on the cheaper platform would be an important factor. Apparantly reviewers don't care.
To me, thats the biggest point that sets these two consoles apart.

I agree, they will definitely abandon Kinect next year.

The voice recognition is seriously underwhelming.

I personally thought the voice recognition would be perfected with all we've been told. That's seriously underwhelming considering that's the primary differentiator aside from snap.
Yup. You base the success off of consumer feedback, sales, and overall mindshare and not from sites reporting inaccuracies.

I thought about this too.
I think it's such an obvious feature that I'm sure it has to be patched in at some point
In the original pics from the reveal I think it had a 5400rpm drive when they were showing off the motherboard but I don't remember exactly.
I don't want to know what the potential is. I expect Microsoft to explain that to me. I want review sites to review a thing. What it is now. Not 'what ifs'. I can take that information plus information from what MS is promising in the future and extrapolate myself thanks.
Alternatively, the reviewers could use information MS has provided as facts and use that. But I don't want wishy-washy comments like 'oh I'm sure it'll be much better soon'. Really? Did kinect 1 get much better soon? We simply don't know that, and it isn't your job to sugarcoat stuff.
No way to check how much disk space your hard drive has left. Xbone automatically deletes the oldest data to make room if needed.

"I'm not sure I really want to talk to my TV all day" -Best line out of all the X1 reviews.
