I wonder why sites like IGN never talk about the actual difference between the consoles such as the hardware. They keep saying the two are basically the same, but never highlight the difference in the GDDR5 vs DDR3.

Yeah I know that most multiplats are going to design around the lower specs. But I would say it's worth highlighting, given first party titles are really going to shine on PS4 in comparison to Xbox One. It's just annoying, because I feel like gamers should be informed on the actual difference between the consoles spec wise. It might inform someone to make a different choice if they knew.
 
Is there even any contest?
For the gamer? Absolutely none.

...and I'd question the motives of anyone who said otherwise. You have to be a pretty hardcore fanboy to look at MS's conference and say that for gamers, their conference was better than Sony's.


That said, it was a different type of reveal, and if rumors are to be believed, they held it damn near just to get all the non-gaming stuff out of the way so that all of E3's conference can be about the games. If that's actually the case, I'll be well pleased.

I'm kind of saddened it wasn't more one sided.

People need to wholeheartedly reject M$ and set them back on the correct path.

I'm no fanboy. I owned both Xbox and Xbox 360 andI would gladly buy the next Xbox if M$ would just give us what we want.

then please, for the love of christ, stop saying "M$". It's MS or Microsoft, that shit is childish

Fixed.
 
Given all this negative spirit towards the XBone, who are those people who are preordering/wishing XBones on Amazon like crazy?

People not on the internet?

Because they aren't game developers? 99% of us know fuck all about what the specs mean as far as games are concerned. I'd be willing to bet there will be great looking first party XB1 games just as there will surely be great looking PS4 games.
 

Tell me how you really feel.

Er...but isn't that their job to know that? I do get your point about the average gamer not knowing fuck all (believe me, I would never to claim to be an expert. Hell, I even screwed up the DDR3 just now and was corrected).

But it's still something they could mention in passing as a possible advantage. Not saying they have to go into complex details about how each one is different.

Casuals, who just hear the name Xbox and think "WHA? DA NEW CALL OF DUTY IS ON IT?!?!?!? MUUUUUUST PREEEEEE ORDERRRRRRRRRR".
 
It's insane how many people are getting worked up over two consoles that aren't even out yet. Both consoles have so many questions that still need to be answered / verified. :P
