The Order is not 900p.

1080p offers twice the pixel density and clarity of 720p. Unless you are blind, it objectively looks better. Period. The only people who are supporting the new '720p' is good enough movement, are the fools that bought a $500, off the shelf video-game console IN 2013 THAT CAN'T EVEN COMPETE WITH A LAPTOP FROM WALMART. That's not me screaming, there's no italics option for emphasis.

When you're paying top shelf prices, you should get a machine that BARE...

Likely doesn't mean "will". There's only so much you can squeeze out of a middling GPU with a poor RAM configuration. But cling to whatever miracles you want.

Direct X12 is the new "secret sauce." Even though Face Off after Face off will continue to show a gulf between the two systems in terms of performance. X1 has a 1.2 TF GPU. Doesn't matter how 'low-level' you go, it can only push so many pixels. Most console APIs are already as close to coding to metal as you can get, and yes they get refined over time. Uncharted 1 to Uncharted 3, for example. But both of those games were 720p, keep in mind. Upping the resolution from 720...

Destiny will outsell TF 2:1 at least. Probably 4:1 with the marketing push Actiblizz is going to give it and considering the spread of platforms it has. Plus it looks like a more flushed out and complete online experience. A real MMORPG not only a lobby based MP shooter.

Nowhere, in any of my reply did I say Christianity was under-attack or less of a right than the choice to live a gay lifestyle. This is the typical straw-man that people who ALREADY have freedoms tend to use. No one is asking for Christians to be marginalized. However, it may feel that way when the accepted, ideal, societal standard is to be anglosaxon, Christian in America. To people who fill that category, other minority groups being brought into the fold of societal acceptance certainly fe...

Except your analogy operates under the assumption that the restaurant is "replacing" one type of beans with another. Acceptance and equalization of rights for race, creed, religion - yes, Christianity IS a freedom - sexual orientation and gender is not about removing liberties but extending them to minorities. So in this case the restaurant would offer white beans AND black beans. Outside of highly scripted or budget conscious games,there's no reason not to offer a female charac...

Why wouldn't you just play on PC? It has controller support. Its not $500 either, its $500 + Live. You can grab the PC version for less than $40 at certain retailers and it only needs a 2008/2009 GPU to run it at 1080p. Game is still ugly as sin though, terrible assets.

Except the PS4 is still selling out as soon as its put on the shelf, whereas the X1 has metric tonnes of stock just rotting in warehouses and on retailer kiosks. The March NPD is going to be devastating for the Xbox faithful. I don't think even TF will give the hardware much traction, its just too expensive and the narrative - and truth - has made the rounds in mindshare and social media: $100 for not as good hardware. People flocked to the 360 for its superior multiplats last gen, and wi...

This sort of article shows the extent of certain fanboy delusions. I don't see how X1 launching in Japan (D.O.A. - still no release date) or Tier 2 countries which have never, ever made up a significant portion of sales and certainly won't this gen, matters. When a console has as much momentum as the PS4, and is priced accordingly, nothing short of an Act of God or a series of colossal missteps on Sony's part will change their sales trajectory. By the end of the year we'll hav...

Mind staggeringly useless? Three years of software and not a single game to justify its existence outside of an in-home marketing tool.

Fix the title. It doesn't match the attach rate, which is 2.2ish. Was that a purposeful mistake due to fanboyism or what?

The only reason we are entertaining these sorts of ridiculous fancies, especially considering that the average cellphone outputs at 1080p these days, is because one of the manufacturers has a gimped box. If the shoe was reversed, and MS had the 1080p box, we'd be hearing all about the "value" you get for the extra $100. 1080p is a standard for modern displays. Enough, Mr. Leadbetter, you're supposed to be a tech "enthusiast". So show some enthusiasm and expertise. ...

Got 2 of those in SLI and it - with an SSD - makes for a beast machine. It should last me another 3-4 years too.

They shipped - channel stuffed - 3.9 million, as reported in late January, and their last reported 'sold to consumer' tally, a week or so earlier was 'over 3 million'. Take of the 145K from NPD and whatever pittance they're sold in Europe and you're left with a metric ton of inventory, 500K to 600K, floating in the retail channel. It is news when your product isn't selling. March should hopefully clear out the channels a bit, but who knows how many more MS will hav...

360 sold two hundred and something thousand in its first January, and it was supply constrained. Xbox One is not and other than MS fangirls, who bought the first couple million, general consumers have spit at the price and laughable hardware (yes even the dummest person can figure out or hear on Twitter how they're being fleeced).

Edit: Omg you actually think the X1 is supply constrained? I hope you're just trolling for laughs or that's sad.

Those are the people with an X1 or a CRT TV. Like the old folks with their rotary phones and no time for "new fangled" cellulars. What the Hell has happened that 1080p, which was a standard since the damn sets were introduced years ago is even a point of contention. Its a standard. The baseline. We're moving onto 4K now (well, the enthusiasts). That anyone should have to argue this shows how far MS missed the market.

Well that's part of the problem with game-reviews isn't it? They're just glorified Gamefaqs.com User reviews. Almost no abstraction or sensibility is used in the process, its just "gut-feeling" type crap, which we have blogs for. A 10/10 implies perfection, which this game isn't. Not even technically.

I really loved WKC 1/2. 10/10 games for me. No way I'd actually write down all of its merits and propose that as any sort of serious media piece to...

This review is just from someone who is as in love with their Lightning waifu as Toriyama. Its not grounded in reality. Even if you like the game, the whole XIII series is critically flawed. Nearly ever reviewer agrees and where there's smoke, there's fire. They can't all be wrong. Highest this game has scored so far is an 8. That's terrible for a mainline IP like this.

Also, the XIIIs are selling less and less. So consumers have the same apathy.
