No, I actually want the Xbox One to be awesome and have some great games. At a reduced price, of course.

I'd prefer seeing the Xbox division in Microsoft fold completely in epic fashion this generation, allowing for a single dominant system that removes the need for cross platform support thereby increasing profit margins and making more fringe/experimental games viable.

Then with the next generation a new challenger (Samsung, Apple, Valve, etc.) steps into the void left by MS coupled with Nintendo having a better strategy resulting in them gaining back some worthwhile core market share.

Microsoft has shown us what their plan ultimately is for consumers. To take away ownership of games, to blackmail us for the "right" to sell those games back to only approved retail partners, to use us as a conduit to achieve greater ad revenue, and to only service the core gamer as long as it takes to get them in the door before shutting down that aspect of their business and focusing on blue ocean products for the mainstream.

They want to devalue everything the industry has previously been built on and replace end users as the primary customer with advertisers, under the assumption that gaming is a strong enough fetish industry to keep us all around even when they use us as veritable livestock to pad profits.

In short, they can no longer be trusted as a power player in the industry and need to be shown the exit, post-haste. It's time for a new 3rd player in the industry.
 
Well there we go, glad we have some confirmation. MS dun goofed so hard with this console so hard tech wise it's not even funny. Just sad and embarrassing that they go from the 360 to this. I guess we will see how things pan out in a few years but I suspect the gap is going to be huge between the ps4 and xbone in a few years.
 
It's pretty clear what Cboat and Bish are eluding to.

Not only will the multiplatform games be inferior on XB1, you may experience OS problems on top of that. Sounds like the XB1 was supposed to launch in 2014.
 
So why is Jeremy Conrad being so proactive about tanking his career? I agree with telling the truth and all, but he's repeatedly poking the bear with some of these tweets.

Apple, Samsung or Google. Take your pick

This is going to have big negative consequences for the whole industry... As Nintendo and MS are failing hard, Sony can't keep the industry healthy alone.

Lots of bad things are going to happen for everybody involved. But that's just great news, right?

PS2.

The crazy part is how stacked Sony's 1st party is vs MSFT's. I see no reason to pick an Xbone up first based on the future prospects of Sony's 1st part and multi platform dominance in terms of performance.

Don't know why everyone is making such a big fuss about this, All you have to do is sit further away from your tv, problem solved. You can't see the difference between 1080p and 720p anyways. 1080p is just a marketing ploy like 4k.

yes! Thats why i ask my girlfriend to hold my tv 15 meters away from me when playing Gta5 so it looks crisp.

Na-ah. They can tell!


So was Sony. Listening to game devs and not plugging ears up to common sense and logic, guess who's actually struck that balance and who didnt....



Your genius is showing through. Zip it up!!



So now 6 is half of 8? We've been failing our children ALL this time!



Yeah Lebron James and Kim K. are total nobodies....okay so Kim isn't talented but she has a great ass, so that makes her a somebody.

Define "victor". Better yet ask MS to define "victor", you might be surprised with their answer.

I guess your post could've been worst. It could've been on the first page; I'll just pretend it took 20 pages before the thread derailed into a console faceoff warzone.

Oh my god dude

Sethos should win a medal for that troll, Christ.
 
Journos who say people can't notice 720p vs 1080p are just taking the piss. Even my gf can tell the difference and she doesn't give a shit about games. I wish people would stop spreading that bullshit.

A monopoly in the console space is a horrible idea. Competition breeds improvements, i.e. the 360 this gen and the PS4 next gen.

I remember when the industry was doomed back in the PS1/PS2 days.

Doooooomed.

But seriously, build a gaming PC if you're so scared of the console industry going bottom-up.
Click to expand...
Sorry, but it really wasn't doomed.

Past gen we had PC+X360+PS3 to build up large enough userbase to make up the raised dev costs and at least some pubs and devs survived while many went belly up. Now imagine the same situation, but with higher dev costs and smaller combined userbase.

Succesful Sony benefits MS/Xbox which benefits PC gamers and vice versa.

So? It's a new generation. New controllers and loads of differences all around.

if he is a massive CoD fan I'd assume he'd be happy to play it in FullHD on a system that actually caters to gamers right? He's not keen on the games on it? Wut? Has he seen Infamous?
Click to expand...

he likes cod but has a decent pc. he'd decided he wanted some of the xb stuff but if the system is going to be a disaster it'd be good to know and advise against it.

Or you could put the TV over your head.That way 4K = 1p.

of course Jeff is going to defend x1. He is pro MS, has over 100k in achivements. Do you really think he is switching to PS4? lol
Click to expand...

You call that being "pro MS"? He just said he doesn't care about pre-release drama and will wait to judge them until he has them.
 
how comes cboat and a mod of all people are teasing with things when they banned people in past for it ?
 
Just keeps getting worse for MS. I'm cancelling my preorder and getting my $50 back today. Will wait until a price drop + kinectless SKU.

Something must be fucked with the DDR3 buses, move engines or the ESRAM is not behaving like designed(didnt they work out it was faster than initially thought?.The same they could have worked out now also it is fucked ) something like that.As it seems XB1 gpu is behaving much worse that a 7770 by these news.
Click to expand...
It's behaving exactly like a 7770. Check the benches and see what res you have to go down to to run BLOPS 2 or BF3 at 60fps.
 
Even with 720p native, the content is all upscaled to 1080p, right? Obviously I'm not making an argument that upscaled > native, but doesn't a lot of this discussion depend on the (currently unknown as far as I'm aware) quality of the XO's upscaling capabilities?

Ha ha!! Sit far enough away from your TV that you don't notice the resolution anymore. Yeah that should work.
