That's the point I'm trying to make. I want to get an Xbox One because that's what I want. That's it. If I got a PS4 instead, I wouldn't see it as saving myself $100. I'd see it as not getting what I want.

Published Tuesday, 11 June 2013, hence this thread based on the rumours.
thats from june though...........maybe they weren't able to hit the target in time for launch.
Exactly. This is more than about pixels, this proves the PS4 is the stronger in specs. Which has long been suspected of course.
I only play about the same amount of new titles per year myself despite being a single student.
The sting will be in the 3rd party and 1st party Sony games being considerably better than XBone's considering the 50% performance difference. However if your preferences are for MS exclusives then your decision is made.
Because Ralph's also has Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Vons doesn't? Some people have a hard time understanding that people like the games they like. Let me blow your mind...I'm buying both. Whoa! Crazy right?
Some other insiders have confirmed 720p.
MS has to spin everything as a positive. Its their culture. So while it may be 720p, they are aware it will be a negative issue. Its going to be some amazing Spin.
Not necessarily. Many consumers won't care. However, even casuals are aware of the Xbone's poor unveiling and some of the issues it has done 180s on. This will only feed into that existing narrative. That's why it might gain a little traction.

How can Microsoft justify charging $100 more for an OBVIOUSLY inferior console?
Why would anyone pay $100 more for an inferior gaming experience?
The $500 tag line is looking REALLY BAD right now. And how many launch games are using Kinect for anything more than some simple feature that couldn't be emulated with just the headset or the controller itself?
I can go on for hours. Fact is, Microsoft went CHEAP on the GPU so they could try to sell the KINECT. They really want to be Wii 2.0, but that FAD has already passed.

Albert commented on it. More then I expected.
If its false the easy way to fix it is to release some direct feed XB1 footage. Just some multiplayer footage. Doesnt have to be fancy. Heck even a decent quality screenshot would do....

Yeah, besides the jokes and funny gifs, this is the real meat of the implications. Buttocks was warning all of us of how fucked up things were at MS, and apparently there wasn't enough time to iron things out properly.
The XBOX1 can have amazing graphics, like Killer Instinc (the only launch game that I care of both consoles) yet if this is true, then multiplatform games will suffer much more than we think.
I can't wait for Assassins Creed 4 and Watch Dogs threads...

You don't have to defend your preferences at all here Ivy. I completely understand where your coming from. Halo is my favorite fps as well but I think I am going to wait to pick up a X1 till 5 comes out.
Possibly. This might have been what they projected they would reach. Or possibly they hit that for PS4 but as it came down to the wire they realized they couldn't do it for Xbox One.
Yep it was something along the lines of I want X1 no matter what...I don't care about anything just give me X1 !
I love that your actually implying that one should work oneself up into a frenzy once it has been confirmed.(if????)

I don't hope it's true but I do believe the xbone is the weaker system and the money they are asking for kinect could have been used to build a more powerful system.

They ALL do it. Ever read the responses from both Sony and Nintendo when the results come in for NPD sales?

His bar for amazing must be very low. The game didn't look amazing on the IGN PS4 footage. It looks unimpressive, standard CoD game.
Graphics don't win by themselves but they don't hurt. The winner is due to timing, price and early success to get the snowball rolling. Graphics contribute in this gen, a different launch to all other gens as you have two similar machines coming head to head.
Design choice confirmed.

Fuck I am more concerned about the OS issue as I saw the green screen of death while playing xbone a couple of weeks ago.

-bruceleeroy said he's waiting on a second source or something as well
-thuway declared 720p! 720p! 720p! 720p! "MS done goofed" (this is where things heated up)
-bish shut himself in his bomb shelter and left us to burn
-GopherD can hear the bombs dropping from across the planet while he on vacation
-Penello gave a non-answer about the issue
This pretty much sums up the thread minus all the amazing gifs.

1. Maybe not, but it's absolutely something that can affect sales when it comes to "the most powerful" and schoolyard discussions/arguments.
2. Side by side, I think you'll absolutely be able to tell the difference. At home? I honestly don't know. Is the whole TV size a true thing where unless it's over something like 50 inches you'll be able to tell the difference between 720 and 1080? I'm skeptical.
3. I don't think it says anything about the XBox hardware other than these are the first gen games and if the rumor is true, that development was able to get more out of the PS4 than they were the XBox One quicker. If previous COD's are any indication, then I think the next round will have those particular games on par with each other. I think when gen 2 games come out, we'll see what these consoles are really able to do. Personally, I think the PS4 is the more powerful machine and we will see more instances of multiplatform games showing the discrepancy in terms of frame rate or resolution.

Lol, do you prefer to watch DVD movies instead of bluray too?

sorry
got damn...
That is...an opinion, I guess.
I sort of know what you mean, as I used to stick with Nintendo so tight I refused to buy a PS2 and instead went GameCube. It was a big mistake. You live and learn.
Because Ralph's also has Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Vons doesn't? Some people have a hard time understanding that people like the games they like. Let me blow your mind...I'm buying both. Whoa! Crazy right?
Then the parable isn't directed at you.
This was around E3, back when word was spreading around that the porting to PS4 unoptimized took 3 weeks with the game running at 90fps while the XB1 port took 4 months with it running at 15fps.
This was never confirmed of course but kinda gives ya the idea how much harder it can be develop for XB1 than PS4 for a third party.
That is indeed the most troubling aspect of this. As that is not a developer problem.

What has MS done to leverage the 360 users into Xbox One users? How is that working out for them. People bought COD on the cheaper system their friends already had. The average COD buyer is not a console company fanboy, even if they are a 360 fanboy. That doesn't magically translate into sales for the next console from that company. CF every transition where the lead platform lost loads of users when compared to it's follow up. Only a very small minority of people are fanboys of the companies that make consoles. Look at early PS3 sales. Look at Wii U sales.
{quote]● Would most potential consumers even care or notice? Hardcore COD fans might, but TBH most COD players will simply buy the console their friends are buying regardless of which is better.[/quote]
And that is likely to be the PS4 version.
I'm sure exclusive with longer development times will destroy this game in both IQ and graphics quality, but that doesn't bode any better for multiplats.
I won't, but this doesn't bode well for any multiplatform title. We have rumors suggesting frostbite engine games are running better on PS4. We have this. We have no confirmation of 1080p for AC4 on Xbox One, when we have confirmation on PS4. That doesn't bode well for Watchdogs, or other Ubi titles.
And on and on.

The XBone is turning out to be a bigger disaster than both the Nintendo Wii U and the Sony Playstation Vita.
And yet you're doing it again with this post.

If this isn't a dead giveaway to people, I don't know what is. No mention about a Native 1080p resolution for the Xbox One version of the game at all.

This is fine and a perfectly reasonable explanation. If you are excited for the exclusives, then yeah, pay the premium.
Most people (especially on hardcore gaming forums) play a ton of third party games, so it's reasonable to expect them to pick the system that is not only cheaper but performs better. Personally I'm not really salivating for any exclusive besides a game made by Naughty Dog.
Wtf, you cannot be serious.

Other than the developer tweeting it himself?
It still doesn't matter to the consumer. They probably don't even know if they're similar architecturally.
