Graphics Cannot Win The War For PS4

The PS4 may have better graphics, but that won't win the current console generation for Sony, the console's Japanese manufacturer.

But it does help. the ps4 has not been about graphics alone i shall list

1) new IP's

2) great price

3) third party developers support

4) great games

the above are what will help the ps4 win

alexkoepp4473d ago

So far in the battle for my living room my x1 has totally shut out my ps4. My ps4 has been sitting in the closet for weeks now, Sony is going to have to step up there game and do something to earn a spot back in my entertainment cabinet.

OlgerO4473d ago

@Ales Lol why did you post a picture of your entertainment setup? havent you bought all the multiplats for PS4 ? what are you playing

AceBlazer134473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

You claim it has been in your closet but yet there it is using your xbone as a stool.

alexkoepp4473d ago

No I buy multiplatforms for the x1, the seamless entertainment experience is more important to me than a little extra pixel count for frame rate. I have a gaming PC if I want to get the best out of games graphically.

I had to dig the ps4 out of the closet so I could get them in the same picture buddy. The x1 exhausts through the top, I would never place the ps4 on top if it.

I played killzone. (tried outlast with a ps+ trial but 10 minutes of that and I was terrified to go any further lol). Assassins creed, CoD, Battlefield, and Tomb Raider were all bought for the x1 - and I had a great time playing them all... except for Ghosts, that game sucks.

Imagine that... more pixels do not equal more fun... Who would have guessed?

Exactly. It's not only the cheapest is terms of 8th gen Hardware wise but its the most powerful and gives a way sales and Free game and is bringing the most games ( some only in japan).

hulk_bash19874473d ago

If you think that the only thing that the PS4 has to offer is better graphics........you're gonna have a bad time.

lolCHILLbro4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

1) PS4 has new IPS aswell as Xbox One with KI (new to Xbox) RYSE Quantum Break Sunset Overdrive D4 Below to name a few

2) Price is a win for Sony

3) Both have great Third Party support unlike Wii U

4) Xbox arguably has the better games with Titanfall and Halo 5 plus Fable legends, new Gears and all the above i posted

Power is a win for Sony, to counter you could say Online Gaming is a win for Xbox with games designed for multiplayer and Xbox LIVE like Halo 5 and Titanfall Gears Fable Legends, almost every exclusive from Microsoft has a Multiplayer/Online component which will appeal to Online Gamers

Both consoles have thier strenghts and weaknesss

choose a side and dont be insecure about it

SniperControl4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

"4) Xbox arguably has the better games with Titanfall and Halo 5 plus Fable legends, new Gears and all the above i posted"

Have to disagree with you on that one my friend.

To me Uncharted 4, Second Son and Last Of Us 2 will be the better games.

Although, i would jump at the chance of playing a new Gears.

guyman4473d ago

your 4th point, smh

those games haven't even been released yet and you say xone already has the better games. Ps4 hasn't even seen any of its big hitters either and now you're prematurely drawing conclusions.

Just doesn't make any sense man

DeathOfTheFanBoy4473d ago

How dare you talk in a reasonable manner on this site!!! And then...
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO PAINT XB1 IN A POSITIVE LIGHT!!!!
HOW VERY DARE YOU!
THIS IS N4G, NOT SOME UNBIASED PLACE FOR RATIONAL GAMING DISCUSSION!!!

Some people...

infectedaztec4473d ago

I agree with this. After E3 the landscape could change again...both seem to be holding back new IPs but at the moment xbox has it.

PS4 is more powerful but xbox is more focused on multiplayer experience.

Fair analysis.....going to get bombarded with disagrees

Why o why4473d ago

'PS4 is more powerful but xbox is more focused on multiplayer experience'

Is it? I don't mind hearing your reasons for thinking/believing this. Honest question

SniperControl4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

@DeathOfTheFanBoy

But here you are in a PS4 article(admittedly a flamebait one)...........

NeloAnjelo4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

How has MS got better exclusives again? What's new about Halo and Gears?

You look at RIME, Shadow of the Beast, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, The Order 1886... all new IPs. Not to mention sequels like Infamous, Uncharted... Plus Santa Monica, GG, and so many more working on new IPs... both with online and off line components... how is MS more online focused? Sorry but I don't get your logic at all.

If you say MS is more shooter focused, then yes.

NeloAnjelo4473d ago

So? Titanfall is just a shooter... yes JUST a shooter. There are many better games out there with rich single player experiences that people will enjoy on Sony's platform.

Plus TitanFall can be played on PC.

jessupj4473d ago

You missed the most important one. (to real gamers anyway, that want to see this amazing industry flourish)

5)Didn't try to completely screw over gamers by attempting to implement anti consumer DRM that would have been the single biggest most heinous act committed against gamers in the history of gaming.

madpuppy4473d ago

Bravo, That ALONE is the reason that MS and the Xbone hold absolutely no interest for me. To attempt something so anti-consumer, so wrong is an affront to anybody that has ever bought anything.

Like I have said before, If a killer decides not to kill you, You don't now become his friend.

NeloAnjelo4473d ago

Well said... anti consumerism with DRM, blocking used games, and always online would only stiffle the industry, leading to more monopoly power and the death of indies, or rather bending to more rules to get games on platforms.

This is what MS and EA would prefer you do. Hence their alignment this gen. Anyways Sony pushed the gamers agenda, and also for free to play games no requiring no a subscription, services not hidden behind a pay wall, and an optional camera.

No gimmicks, just gaming... more power, more games and at a better price.

"Graphics Cannot Win The War For X1"

Kinect Cannot Win The War For X1

MS Exclusives (or lack thereof)Cannot Win The War For X1

Titanfall Cannot Win The War For X1

Halo Cannot Win The War For X1

Tired of these fanboys and their blog sites spewing their fanboy nonsense

And p.s. to Celticgamer.com, its already winning the "war", so oops, your wrong.

windblowsagain4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

You might as well put.

X1 cannot and will not ever win the war.

As for games.

Titanfall is good. Played beta on PC.
Halo is good. Did enjoy 1.
fable is not all that. Not my type of game.
gears 1 was good, 2 was ok, 3 was poor.

Killzone sf - good.
Infamous ss - looks very good. Not played it. Loved other two though.
The order - looks very good. Not played it.
Uncharted is my game on choice. Even a slight increase in graphics would cement it's awesomeness.

PS/PC are my systems of choice.

Microsoft made DLC priority and showed other companies that they could milk ppl for all they are worth. Thanks ms fans.

Ok ... OK, we get it, the Xbox supporters don't care about graphics any more. The narrative is now set in stone so there's really no need for more articles trying to embed it deeper into the psyche. Just put the IGN podcast on a loop and you're good to go.

hehe ,.. great comment :)

Mr-Dude4473d ago

It's all about the games and secret hardware now...
Sales don't matter anymore also... graphics is so 2013, and nobody can see the difference between 1080p native and 720p...

Sony is deep into conspicary, according to misterX media and his blind cult.

This is gonna be a weird generation

amiga-man4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

In a console war 3rd party games will always make up the major percentage of games available, the fact 3rd party games are performing so much better on the PS4 is a distinct advantage and will be an important factor in the PS4's success both in the short and long term.

pyramidshead4473d ago

"Xbox supporters don't care about graphics any more."

Wait until Quantum Break nears its release date, I think you'll find they'll have changed their tune about graphics by then, hah.

rowdyBOY4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

I care about graphics alot , but i dont want to miss out on some massive exclusives like TITANFALL , HALO 5, CRACKDOWN 3 , FORZA 6 AND GEARS 4 .

sorry thats just me .

SniperControl4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

And i will be rejoicing in Uncharted 4 and what other project Naughty Dog is developing. hah back at you sir.

Is it just me or has every article lately from this "celticgamer.com" seemed to have been very lackluster and underwhelming?

Too many "gaming" sites with nothing to offer but half baked opinion pieces, conspiracy theories, pure flame bait or reposted news from another site but with a spin of half baked speculation and opinion.

Jdoki4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

We have too many wannabe gaming 'journalists' and not enough news to go round.

Very few people actually have industry sources, or have any sort of qualification relevant to writing, so they end up picking and choosing 'news' and spinning it in to poorly worded click bait articles.

The vast majority of 'journalists' are just jumped up bloggers who have nothing new to offer, no journalistic integrity, and no skill. Throw in the need for ad revenue, and a lack of scruples that lead to bias or mis-reporting and we have probably the worst journalism of any hobby / industry.

/rant over

OlgerO4473d ago

Yeah man didnt you hear the news, there is no difference between 1080 p and 720p tvs anymore. We have been spending 100s of dollars more on 1080p tvs for nothing.

MultiConsoleGamer4473d ago

Graphics have never won the war for any console. Ever.

But great games and a great price on hardware have a proven track record of success.

OlgerO4473d ago

I find it kinf of funny how all xbox defenders keep saying that xbox is where the games are at and that PS4 doesnt have games. The last 5 years sony has always dominated with putting out great games, do people think that all sony studios have closed down ?

StifflerK4473d ago

Resolution does do matter to an extent , as does texture quality , performance , gameplay , multiplayer, exclusives features, innovation , support and compatibility, services etc....

But people have different preferences , and each console has it's own advantages - they're all good in their own way.
What matters is picking the console 'you' are happy with - it doesn't matter what the rest of the world thinks - 'you' buy a console for 'your own' entertainment.

My point being , enjoy your games , and let others enjoy theirs - arguing over X being better than Y is pointless - because it's subjective.

Hellsvacancy4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

Your comment is all nice etc but I think everyone at some point as said something similar, I know I have

Point of it is, it makes no difference, no one really cares for soft fanny comments or opinions, you're still going to continue to get dumb articles like this and comments from brainless "so called" gamers spouting nonsense "the PS3 version of Mafia 2 doesn't even have grass, HAHAHAHAHA" or "The PS3 version of Red Dead Redemption is ONLY 540p" only to years later have the same thing thrown back at them, and now they don't like it

LordMaim4473d ago

Wow. I remember that Mafia trolling, back in the day. They poked fun at the grass and for removing clothing physics from the coats. It's true though, it seems like the chickens have come home to roost, and that's what causes weirdness like people talking about "secret sauce" or "new drivers" that are going to save the day.

Jdoki4473d ago

@hellvacancy

'soft fanny comments'?

I'm from the UK and I'm guessing that what 'soft fanny' means to you is different from what it could mean to me! :)

Hellsvacancy4473d ago

I'm from the UK aswel buddy, Northamptonshire

pyramidshead4473d ago

I think the most obvious point people seem to over look is that THERE IS A DISPARITY. The fact that there is a difference between machines is the reason of the drama, not the resolution itself.
Hence why it's still shocking when the PS4 is doing something @900p but the Xb1 is doing 720p

If they were always the same res and frame rate despite the fact some games may be 900p, 720p or 1080p it wouldn't be that much of a big deal.

Agent_hitman4473d ago (Edited 4473d ago )

It will I'm sure.. #PS4

Looks like PlayStation took a hit with Marathon and is now quietly adjusting prices worldwide to recover the losses

andy8527d ago

Lets be honest raising prices doesn't do that when no one's buying it. I imagine the profit it greater selling 10 times more at a lower price

Pergele27d ago

Whatever you say buddy, let's all wear the tinfoil hats.

IceKoldKilla27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

LMFAO Your comment alone says a lot more about you than anything else. When has one game not selling 10 million copies made a company raise the prices of their console? Then Xbox would be costing $5000 by now lol. You remind of the crazy drug addicts on the street rambling on about conspiracies. xD You sure you don't need a hug, buddy?

ChunkyMonk27d ago

One game that Sony payed $200 million for. lol
Also, you sure were quick to get triggered. Maybe your the one who needs a hug?

If nothing else, we should be united against the real issue here. AI and unnecessary tariffs that are effecting all gamers.

Athlon10127d ago (Edited 27d ago )

The price increases are due to the RAM demand associated with AI and the US-Iran war. You can look to any business news website and local news to see that. Heck, even the 2026 Asus Zenbook Duo I've been eyeing has faced delays and has had a price increase of $400; that laptop has two specs. Asus is doing a staggered release with per-orders for the lower spec now and shipping in May and pre-orders for the higher spec that I'm eyeing starting in June. Basically, all computer manufactures are affected. It'll most likely start affecting smart phones too if it hasn't already. I can't remember the last time any major console maker (Nintendo, Sony, Sega, etc) increased the price of their console mid cycle outside of Microsoft just to make more profit.

S2Killinit27d ago

Its not the war. Its the RAM issue.

jznrpg27d ago

War is causing gas prices to rise. Transport of everything requires gas so the prices of those items go up as well. So it does have an impact

Athlon10126d ago (Edited 26d ago )

The blockage of the Straight of Hormuz due to the US-Iran war has affected raw components used in semi-conductor manufacturing such as bromine, aluminum, and helium. Iran had attacked the liquified natural gas (LNG) plant in Qatar which is a large producer (1/3 globally) of helium which is used in semiconductor etching. So it's the both the war and the RAM crises.

Reaper22_41d ago

I dont think that'll ever happen. But i must say back in the day, they were definitely trying because they were more cash rich than their competitors.

CosmicTurtle40d ago

I think MS were and still are the richer company. They tried to acquire Sega back in the day (and considered doing so again more recently), they obviously bought exclusivity to Halo which was originally shown as a Mac title. I don’t think as a company MS can claim the moral high ground here. It’s a wilful lack of self awareness.

Of course Sony would try exactly the same if they had the resources, but when the PS2 dominated the industry was in a much healthier place with an abundance of great third parties.

This has been a depressing generation as far as first party decisions are concerned. The fact we are debating business plans rather than which game is better is a sad reflection of the state of things.

Darkseeker40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

There was Nintendo as well, Sony wouldn't have had a monopoly. In fact, the world would be better today if Xbox never existed in the first place. They pretty much brought all bad practices we have today. We might have gotten all of it either way, but not this early. In term of franchises, I don't think there is anything Microsoft released that would actually be missed if it didn't exist. Even Halo the world wouldn't notice if Halo didn't exist.

S2Killinit40d ago

MS was definitely a bad influence on gaming.

raWfodog40d ago

I think almost everyone will agree that a monopoly is not good for the industry. But that being said, the competition needs to be smart and strategic with their business. Simply buying up publishers and traditional third-party studios just to keep them out of the other companies reach is not a sustainable practice. That goes for all parties so don't think I'm just referring to Xbox.

I'm no business guru by any stretch of the imagination but I firmly believe that the best way to drive consumers to your software and hardware is to invest smart in your first-party studios. Give them full support and guidance in making unique, fun games that are only available to play in your ecosystem and the gamers will come.

Reaper22_40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

But first party studios aren't enough. They only make up a small portion of the industry. Without 3rd party there would be no industry for Microsoft or sony.Developing games take time and money and sometimes you gotta make moves to stay competitive.

raWfodog40d ago

Nah, I never said first-party was enough. I said it’s the ‘best way’ to drive gamers to your platform. 3rd-party is a free-for-all and there’s no guarantee that gamers will use your hardware to play the game. If you want to push your own software and/or hardware you need first-party, or at least exclusive deals with third-party studios.

SimpleDad40d ago

They Shure did a great job... 25 years later Xbox is dead.

Reaper22_40d ago

Then why be so emotional and continue to talk about it. Xbox will never die be ause it stays in so many people's head.

lodossrage40d ago

How can you even see him being "emotional" in that comment?

If anything, you're the emotional one, constantly trying to go at anyone that says anything against Microsoft. So when you call him emotional, it comes off as deflection
