For the non tech savvy among us, care to explain why this is a failed comparison?

PS3
How does a 7-core processor suddenly become 3 cores?
It supported 7 controllers, not 4

PS4
CPU frequency hasn't been published. Should at least have a footnote.
SD Video chat - The Playstation Camera is capable of 720p

X1
It has DDR3+eSRAM, not GDDR3
No Bluetooth for X1

For both PS4 & X1
Where's the shader count or clockspeed?

Xbox 360
How did the 360 play disc based games?

and this:

Alright, who cropped out the WiiU?

UPDATE: Still riddled with mistakes

Their updated comparison

UPDATE 2: The Xbox One is more powerful than the PS4 confirmed.

UPDATE 3: 9 cores for PS3. It's like they don't even care anymore.

Edit:

Okay, I noticed that the GPU specifics are missing and does the XB One Support bluetooth?

 

[cancerdancer]

Alright, who cropped out the WiiU?

 

[Stumpokapow]

It's DDR3 not GDDR3, they don't mention the ESRAM and there's no discussion of instructions per cycle

 

[Immaculate]

looks fine to me

EDIT: okay now i know

 

[Oni Jazar]

For the non tech savvy among us, care to explain why this is a failed comparison?

Well equalizing the GPU on the PS4/XBO for one, no DVD on 360 for another.

 

[AlexMogil]

Can we just have a shitty news thread.

 

[oVerde]

Gddr3? Xbox's Bluetooth? Wut?

 

[Gamerloid]

It's DDR3 not GDDR3, they don't mention the ESRAM and there's no discussion of instructions per cycle

Good eye. There's also an error saying there's no DVD on the 360.

 

[enzo_gt]

Alright, who cropped out the WiiU?

Nintendo, exactly a year ago this day.

 

[Geedorah]

Well equalizing the GPU on the PS4/XBO for one, no DVD on 360 for another.

Thought there was a discless 360 on the way - that may be what they are referencing? Or was that scrapped?

Dunno, doesn't look too off information-wise to me, but god the art direction is terribad.

 

[Dual Blade]

Wow how game "journalists" continue to get this wrong is beyond me.

Ps4 has GDDR5 RAM
Xbone has DDR3 RAM

Ps4 has a better video card too.

 

[Ricerocket]

Pretty terrible job done on the list itself. Black background with black consoles and non aligned list.

 

[GoofsterStud]

No GPU specs...

If your going to do that you need to say AMD CPU for consistancy.



Number of cores for CPU, Missing number of Compute Units for GPU.

Again with the lack of consistency...

All which would favor the PS4.

Let's talk speed of CPU and leave the speed of the Ram out...

Horrible.

 

[Venturer]

Where's the GPU flops.

 

[Principate]

Well equalizing the GPU on the PS4/XBO for one, no DVD on 360 for another.

TBF it's not incorrect GPU wise simple vague.

 

[crazepharmacist]

How do they know clock speed of PS4's cpu? And what do they mean by PS3 having 3 cores?

 

[~Kinggi~]

I like how the video card, proabbly one of the most important gaming components is simply the brand.

Plus if i was average joe looking at that list i would think the bone was more powerful.

 

[Soulflarz]

That list is wrong. Ugh

 

[alr1ght]

Sweet, my GPU is exactly the same as the PS4's according to gamespot.

 

[Omni]

For the non tech savvy among us, care to explain why this is a failed comparison?

cuz 50% moar power!

 

[btrboyev]

Apparently the 360 doesnt have an optical drive

 

[plasmawave]

GDDR3 should be DDR3.
Conveniently left out the actual number of flops for GPU.
Pretty sure Snap is not a video chat feature.
Xbox one doesn't have bluetooth.

 

[sixteen-bit]

PS3 supports 7 controllers, not 4

 

[carpediemdp]

Doesnt PS3 supports 7 controllers?

 

[BruiserBear]

Hilarious that they happen to show the clock speed for the CPU, which just so happens to be the one category the XB1 beats the PS4 in.

But when it comes to GPU, where the PS4 has a big advantage, no such detail is provided.

 

[Zombie James]

GDDR3? And you can't just say "AMD Radeon" for the GPU and leave it at that. Horrible comparison.

 

[Oni Jazar]

TBF it's not incorrect GPU wise simple vague.

If you didn't know any better you'd think the Xbox One was faster because of the CPU.

 

[toastyToast]

Looks pretty favourable towards the Xbone

 

[Atilac]

I thought the CPU frequency for the 360 was 3.8 Ghz
and the PS3 supported 7 controllers...

 

[Coxy]

wow that's amazingly shit

spec comparison without the relevant specs

 

[dmr87]

GAF, I have Nvidia in my PC.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Gaming journalism -_-

 

[ionicbluebird]

Yeah, lay-people are going to look at that and think the One is better overall.. just going on the CPU speed... then again look at the CPU speed of the the 360 and PS3 compared to the One and PS4, heh.

It's no wonder Cartman thinks the One will have faster frame rates.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

Holy shit yet another website that I will no longer visit.

 

[xelloss12]

TBF it's not incorrect GPU wise simple vague.

Omitting critical information is still technically telling the truth but more akin to lying.

 

[travisbickle]

If they put CPU frequency, why don't they put GPU power? It's confusing as hell just putting the brand name (is RSX just a code name?) for GPUs?

 

[teiresias]

360 has no optical drive . . . you heard it here first ladies and gentlemen . . . GAMES JOURNALISM!!!!!!

 

[kurbaan]

also the PS3 supports 7 controllers which is why its a huge shame the PS4 does not.

 

[Parapraxis]

PS3 supports 7 controllers

 

[Log4Girlz]

Nintendo, exactly a year ago this day.

Burrr...did it get chilly all of a sudden?

 

[Jomjom]

What the hell is a GDDR3?

I have an nvidia in my computer. Is it a Titan or a mobile nvidia GPU? That's for me to know and you to find out.

Seriously though, why would you give "CPU frequency" but not give any kind of measure for the GPU? Especially when GPU matters WAY more for games than the CPU.

 

[ymmv]

Ps3 doesnt have 3 cores ...

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Hilarious that they happen to show the clock speed for the CPU, which just so happens to be the one category the XB1 beats the PS4 in.

But when it comes to GPU, where the PS4 has a big advantage, no such detail is provided.

Wow, didn't realize this.

 

[synce]

Both PS4 and Xbone have AMD Radeon? Well it's a toss up then

 

[AzaK]

Nintendo, exactly a year ago this day.

Ba dum CHA!

 

[Ken]

This is like, what you tape on the shelves at Best Buy to help employees sound smart.

 

[Pirzolaman]

They can't be fucking serious.

 

[nib95]

AMD Radeon, how specific. Oh and GDDR3 lol. Hate to keep berating games journalism, but fucking hell do some research, source your shit, and offer some comparisons that don't actually insult our intelligence.

Honestly, we would be wise to ignore such sites and articles for such information and just stick to forums like GAF. We're way ahead of the curve on this stuff despite what certain PR and warriors may say otherwise.

 

[AwRy108]

Since when did the 360 not have an optical drive?
