... So i guess indie or arcade game count as AAA exclusive when it comes to Xbox?
@XanderZane
Uhhh. Kinect does not cost $150 to make... Or X1 does not cost $350 to make...
LOL. Are you serious man? Are you trying to then say Xbox One actually increased price when it sold for 400? Cause 400 +150 is 550...
Lets assume Kinect cost to make is $50 USD. So when they dropped price from 500 to $400. MS saved $50 in their manufactur...
@donthate
X1 interface is bit slow at times and has nothing to do with internet connections... Are you kidding me?
lol and wow at that level of damage control.
Either way great news that it will now be improved.
@donthate
People using? You know Project Car dev later clarified it was for PC only. Not Xbox....
Armchair Dev?
I am quoting Spencer AND MS Developer and engineer.

Gamebolt as source AGAIN... really?
How many gamebolts article did we have and ended up in people eating crows??
@Kingthrash
Fable Legend uses DX12 and Spencer announced it boost GPU by 20% on PC ONLY.
Yes. He went out of way to say boost was only for PC.
@MeliMel
Your software optimization will happen across all platforms. Your X1 is already closely optimized. It will still evolve, but DX12 is...
Sweet. Cant wait to see PC/X1 games integration and multimedia.
Would also be awesome having Cortana in living room.
@donthate
This is good news for gamers, but just Wow Donthate. Just wow. You are just Xbox One advertisement became alive.
Except the difference is Esram do not have a some power to be unlocked.
A) Cell actually had quantifiably large power that can be used.
B)Esram dont. It is 32mbs. That remains the same. And total read is about 100gb/s and total write is about 100 gb/s. Total they make up about 200 gb/s. GDDR5 is about 185 gb/s on read alone..or write. There isnt any power to be unlocked. Best case scenario, maybe you can catch up to GDDR5 with 32mbs...
C)Devs...
User SonySlave3 is on fire with counter offense!
Both consoles have good game line up suiting different taste.
Why not leave it at that? I for one is not very interested in annual or bi annual franchise or timed exclusives.
But for some people who are a huge fan of those franchise, those are good things.
This is from
GamingBolt and their source is GamingBolt spoke to Xbox boss of India, Anshu Mor
@donthate
Sound like every time you speak you are waiting for a secret sauce ever since X1 came out.
Maybe cloud works or cloud doesnt work. What is known for certain is that it wont be secret sauce because it wont be an exclusive tech.
Even Clougine was third party engine and practically everyone already do Cloud ...
@Azz
I will also add this and this will basically end the discussion.
CPU Power Difference:0.01 Tflop in X1 advantage.
GPU Power Difference:0.5 Tflop in PS4 advantage.
You are trying to make a hill out of a mole. 0.01 tflop difference... really? Again that is not even counting the second CPU that PS4 has.
@EeJLP-
Not only that, user Donthate's message sounds straight up Xbox One advertising.
Also, PS4 has second CPU for helping out with OS.
Yes. The supposedly super X1 secret sauce of second CPU is real on PS4.
@Azzanation
X1 7th GPU is not "unlocked"
It still gets used for OS most of the time. MS allowed dev to access it if there is no OS stuff going on.
Which dev have mentioned that would result to being useful only 3 % of the times. Not to mention you cant really rely on it because it is based on users activity.
"GPUS arent the problem" LOL. you ever notice lower res and reduced effects. pop ups? low vegetatio...
And PS4 has its own AAA library already established...
Last year spike was caused by price drop. It was a last resort move. I doubt MS is willing to drop the price again.
@Sureshot
40% compute power is pretty large.
Thats almost as if having 3 Xbox One to match power of 2 PS4. To add to that you have 8 Ace over 2 ACE.
But like DRanzer said,
you can talk about how big less than 10 percent clock increase is. Even though that that only reduced the power gap from 50% to now 40%.
Good thing PS4 has 1.81 tflop with 8 ACE.
Once Async Compute becomes more popular, it will properly take advantage of the far stronger GPU.
@septic
The original agreement between MS and Machinima had it so that youtubers hide the fact they are getting paid in the back.Meaning both party AGREED to this.
Not Stardom, but clearly stated as "Agreement with MS" and MS even "reviewed" the video before paying.
"Under the conditions of the 2013 agreement between Microsoft and Machinima, the YouTube "influencers" would not portray Microsoft, the Xbox One...
"Under the conditions of the 2013 agreement between Microsoft and Machinima, "
Do you see the part that it says MICROSOFT?
It wasn't agreement between Machinima and AD agency. It was with MS.
This is a sad attempt at damage control. And no, some other Ad company couldnt have forged MS's signature like you are trying to say.
Wow Damage control on this is astounding.
MS is basically CAUGHT for paying for reviews, hands on, impression videos.
What Sony has done is not even close to this. Sony had an AD. It was clear it was an AD. Not paying off money behind the scene to someone else.

bu bu buu but. gaps supposed to close.
I thought with all those updates, gap was suppose to close from 900P games to 1080P.
Instead, it remains at 900P and now it is missing post processing.
it is true Halo did innovate and led the market when it was first made.
Too bad that was Bungie and this is 343. I hope 343 does a hood job carrying the torch
This is the DEFINITE confirmation that DX12 wont do much for X1. X1 already has draw call, low level API and Async compute. Like MS dev already have said "giving what console has to PC"
That is not to say that X1 wont improve through out its lifecycle. It just means DX12 hype dont apply to X1.
Funny thing about Async Compute is that it requires Async Compute Engines (or ACE).
Xbox One has only 2 ACE.
PS4 has whopping 8 ACE. ...
