APIs are very important. From DX9 to DX11 on PC is a fair difference. DX12 is an even bigger jump from DX11 and will be offering new features never before seen by any current API.
DX12 is going to make the X1 and other devices better, not sure how much better but it's an improvement if Devs take full advantage of it.
Your also comparing different game genres. The linear the game the better it looks.
Agreed, no better place to play MMOs
I am no fan of JRPGs, I prefer RPGs, if I want to play a JRPG I can get them anyway on Steam, which I don't own any. Its my opinion and taste and I am rather grateful that MS don't waste there time with them. If you like JRPGs then PlayStation is the place. Not complaining, but I get this vibe on N4G that JRPGs are the way to go, Weston RPGs have had control on that market for quite some time now.
I buy Consoles for 1st party games, 3rd is why I have a Gaming PC. To be honest I don't even see the point in owning consoles anymore. Most 1st party games are worse then 3rd party games now's.
Battlefronts best game sold 3.6 million, Halos best selling game is over 11 million, there least favourite Halo game (Halo 4) sold 9+ million. The fact that X1 has both these games does not really matter, what does matter is Halo is a bigger gaming franchise then SW Battlefront.
Halo 5 would most likely outsell Battlefronts total sales on all formats let alone just the PS4s version. Sorry but History shows both these games aren't in the same league as each other.
I don't think it matters, both consoles are going to sell well this holiday, and unlike fanboys, MS and Sony don't really care if they outsell each other, as long as they both reach there targets everyone's happy.
They already know, Its the PC version.

*MKX would have been 720p on the X1, just like KI until the recent patch, if not for the optimisation. You simply can't expect parity in graphics when it's abundantly clear that PS4 is the more powerful machine.*
Hardware isn't a factor anymore. Both consoles have there advantages, PS4 has a better GPU and X1 has a better CPU. Games today rely more on what its built around. MKX was built around PS4 advantages not X1s.
@Genuine-User
Big Disagree on MKX looking better then KI. They both look fantastic, MKX looks better in some ways but KI looks better in others. MKX has Better looking Character Models, KI has a lot more particles and effects. MKX is also a lot slower paced, KI is greatly faster paced. Backgrounds all look on the same level. Also KI was a launch game where as MKX released almost 2 years after.
MKX isn't optimised for X1 where as MKX was designed on PS4. K...
The main question is how good is its legs. Seems to be only selling well in Japan. I would be surprised if it surpassed 2 million, seems like all the Hardcore gamers brought it.
These arent issues there fixing, these are innovating features to improve everyone's experience. There's a difference. Any new feature is a welcome addition.
Not sure if your Trolling or being immature.
Everytime a game gets a poor or average review, the N4G community blame the skill set of the reviewer. .theres more to a review then just playing the game.
Forza Franchise has always had the best car audio, this is no exception.
Just imagine when DX12 is released. You wont need high end hardware to run Console spec games at superior settings.
@ThanatosDMC
Incorrect, Sales can help developers make there choices easier, but why is it that X1 is getting as many games as the PS4 and its had a larger scale of AAAs in the last couple of years?
Money talks, not sales.
Because sales determines a products quality and Japan Sales = Victory? X1 is a healthy selling system, maybe not in Japan but I am not Japanese so why should someone like me care how well it sells in Japan? X1 in many cases is a good successor to the 360 and is a good system regardless if it flops bad.
Not trolling, I am asking a serious question.
If it has a DX12 option you might run it better than you think
Let's be real here, VR is only a popular topic Because Sonys pushing it. If this was a MS idea from the start it would be getting the same flak as Kinect. How many casual gamers are going to fork out $150+ on head gear and how many want to wear it while playing games?
One of the worst things about 3D TVs was the fact people had to wear glasses, imagine wearing a Helmet for games.
Sorry im a Hardcore gamer and I wont be buying VR because I don't li...
