Why the fuck would they make the XB1 embargo stretch out like that? Would that not be more controversial? MS PR/Marketing department seems so dysfunctional. They seemingly want to hide everything as if that will make bad news go away.

I think their tactics have worked in a way. Mainstream media won't pick these rumors up but an MS confirmation will be everywhere.
Look at the Leadbetter "Balance" article. So many people are sourcing that article as fact even though it's been debunked on Gaf

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.

Some of them are the same journalists who complained about how bad the 480p Wii games looked scaled up to 720p.

Dedicated system tho. It's not the same as a pc

Only time this matters is for exclusive titles. Third party still had to build products on different architectures in the console world same as PC world.

It is the 720p x 900p stuff for exclusives that should be extra worrisome

The crazy thing about COD is that it looks awful
 
bummer. figured that was the case. guess someone at Microsoft needs to update those Xbox facts

I'm still believing that MS wanted to launch in 2014 with titanfall. Sony made them change their plans

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.

It's his job as a journalist to seek the truth and report it, to minimize harm, act independently, and to be accountable. These are the four tenets of journalism. GAF should be defending Jeremy from backlash and the gaming media at large owe him big time for doing what they don't have the balls to do. This is their moment to stand up and say enough to all the bullshit as a collective, but most of them are intent on being lapdogs for the major players.

I hope more join Jeremy and stop protecting deceptive practices by MS.

This is the attitude we need in game journalists. This is what journalists are supposed to do.
Whatever gaming endeavors this guy goes on in the future, I hope the gaming community supports him even if he doesn't get insider press coverage, because we need to show that we want this stuff.

you start seeing a difference on 40+inch tvs

35 inch or lower and there is literally no difference

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.

This is near exactly my feeling on all of this.

He's also trolling with the 720p jokes all over twitter. Not very professional.
