WOW, the persecution complex in this thread from XBOX fans is off the chain...…..CBOAT was right in his predictions of the XBONE situation, it's lack of power and it was clearly seen that MS took some steps just before and after launch to bring back some of the CPU and GPU power back to XBONE......Does anyone doubt that Titanfall ran at 720p at one point? No...…..Lots of the processing power MS gave back from Kinect, 10% CPU/GPU, upclocks etc...was because devs were already complaining heavily before the console launch in 2013......CBOAT just reported on what existed then, which was true......
The upping of the CPU clockspeed just before launch, all of that was done because XBOX's three pronged OS consumes more CPU power than the PS4 OS, even some devs like Ubi traditionally close to MS went the parity route, all in an effort to save face......Had it not been for several quick 180's at the last hour in 2013, XBONE's launch would have been even worse rez and performance wise...…180's on the priorities of a gaming console, all in one box. TV TV TV, as opposed to pushing more spec for the games, 180's on the DRM policy, 180's on BC from the gen before where PS3 had full BC two gens down, 180's on crossplay vs the 360 era......180's on always online and the list goes on........I know many people want to forget about this, but the reality is, a consumer must take a cautious approach with such a wild history........What will MS do in 2020 that backfires? nobody genuinely wants it, but it's all about precedence, they are just prone to doing something or perhaps something befalls them like RROD........The only time MS will gain some traction is when they actually deliver an entire gen without a big faux-pas......
Right now, I feel some semblance of 2013, the devs are feeling the PS5 a bit more, some have complemented that it has a bit more oomph over Series X.......The worse thing you want to do as an Xbox fan is claim the opposite and when the dust settles, what the devs were saying, is lo and behold on the money...…There have been too many promises unfulfilled on that side, wait and see...…Go with less hype and hope for the best, hope that MS and Phil will deliver instead of hyping every leak that's not even remotely logical and vastly opposed to what actual devs are saying....Stop breaking sticks in your ears because of desire.......That's not how reality works...
