Next up : Sony PlayStation 4 will be mandatory hooked to 720p TV sets.
Again, why would anyone actively put their reputation on the line to appease them? Why not just ignore the issue? Isn't it more likely that some people just think that the resolution issue is a red herring?
What press outfits defended MS original DRM plans and now think 720p is good enough? Is there a pattern?
Not a fan of this article. AT ALL.
Wait for a price drop. Boom. Problem solved.
America isn't a true dewmocracy, but a representative dewpublic.Or is it a Dewmocracy?
Doritocracy is okay, Dewmocracy is superb.
While it would be this way in a perfect world, the truth is that they answer only to the people who pay them. And in this case, it's clearly Microsoft. I refuse to believe that Edge did a complete 180 out of the goodness of their hearts instead of a big-ass paycheck (or straight-up threats... or both) from Microsoft. It's also pretty well proven based on the fact that smaller and international sites appear to be immune to this, and continue to report the truth. The only ones seeing this miraculous change of heart are the big sites with millions of users, with a lot of sway in the minds of ill-informed readers.They should remember they answer to us, the readers, not slavishly defend Microsoft's poor execution.
"They're downplaying how big of an investment $500 is."
but $400 isn't? Honestly I agree that the $100 isn't much. You're already in an price range where ita expensive. $100 isn't going to be a priority in pushing someone away. It might help some decide they want the PS4, but either way you're going to spend a lot more than $400/$500 when you add in one game and a subscription, at minimum. Honestly both the Xbox One and PS4 are luxury products. The people buying them aren't going to be turned off by the $100 difference alone.

Remember, this is the same gaming press that was attacking their readers for being mad with the DRM policies on the Xbox One. And when gamers put enough pressure on Microsoft and they started making 180's, the gaming press changed their tune too.

But what if both companies drop the price drop at the same time?
Price drop won't increase the hardware performance though will it? I'll buy at $300-$350 though.
I feel sorry for someone that buys a video game console solely for the hardware.

.The media's been a joke in this regard for most of the generation. They don't even try to hide their huge preference for one over the other.

This article is an exaggeration. Didn't like it.
It's CinemaBlend. Every gaming related article they post is garbage.
If you're a die hard Xbot, Xboner, Xboy or Xbox devotee, you may want to steer clear of the news because this will surely turn the sunshine in your day into salty tears. Anyway, during a live-stream for the Xbox One, it has been discovered (and recorded by those watching) that the Xbox One's version of Battlefield 4 suffers major texture caching issues.
Gameranx managed to get their hands on an image, in addition to a reader sending them a gif that's worth more than 720 words. No sense in delaying the inevitable... I'll just let you take a look at the evidence for yourself.
Oh wow... dem ground textures!
This is yet another huge blow against Microsoft, proving once again that any sort of public display for the Xbox One only results in public humiliation. The last time we had public footage of the Xbox One was when the operating system absolutely failed and for ten minutes the poor technician couldn't even get the system to load. For those of you doubting, just check out the footage right here.
...
Also, for those wondering why I didn't rip into the Xbox One as hard as Barry Bonds eats into steroids it's because the video above kind of does that for me. I almost feel sorry for the Xbox One at this point, failing harder than Pauly Shore's career... wait, no I don't. Hahahaha.

Good read. It's true tho - the downplaying is crazy as fuck. Let's look at the price advantage for each console and pretend EVERYTHING else about the games (framerate, IQ, textures, models, etc) are the same EXCEPT the known native resolutions. 500 for X1, 400 for PS4:
500/(1280*720) for both COD & BF4 X1
400/(1920*1080) COD PS4
400/(1600*900) BF4 PS4
$0.00054 Per pixel COD on Xbox One
$0.00019 Per pixel COD on PS4
You are paying 2.84 times as much per pixel to play on Xbox One.
$0.00054 Per pixel BF4 on Xbox One
$0.00027 Per pixel BF4 on PS4
You are paying 2 times as much per pixel to play on Xbox One.

Performance per dollar - that is a huge fucking gap. Websites downplaying JUST the resolution differences are doing a disservice for consumers.
