PC games having a native resolution. That's funny. Not since 2D background games buddy.
Why doesn't anyone understand resolution or frames per second? It really irks me to see console plebs talk about it.
You do realize by 10 family members there is almost no chance they mean anything but 10 user accounts on the same Xbox One in the same household.
I pre-ordered from them for a $12 discount. Just $3 but come on. BTW Newegg almost always has awesome deals for pre-orders and there's no tax most places.
Unless they cut the Wii U's price quickly it will flounder no matter what games they release. $300/349 is just outrageous compared to what PS4 offers at $399. Nintendo was too slow with the games and it failed to take off before the modern hardware console hype began.
It is hard to justify developing for a middle ground system. Wii U's hardware is far too weak to run games targeting PS4/XBO. So it either gets PS3/360 games or games designed specifically for Wii U. And with a small user base EA is not willing to invest in that. I dont blame them. Why not blame Nintendo for creating an overpriced dated piece of hardware? That's what is driving consumers and developers away.
Wii U will be a lot more viable when it gets a price cut. $300/$350 is just way too much for dated tech when you're comparing it to PS4 at $399. It would be one thing if Wii U had got a good library built up before the others came but instead it will just get overshadowed
They should delay it for Xbox1 at least a month just encourage other platforms and stick it to Microsoft.
Honestly if an individual game has the content to justify a higher price I wouldn't mind. Assuming there's not a bunch of bullshit DLC. I never liked this one price for all standard with console games.
Well PS3 is sure going out with a bang then.
So what Star Wars The Old Republic should have been?
Without lowering the price or even changing the hard drive sizes im still baffled about why this exists.
No. They already took the gamble on GDDR5 in the early design phase and it's paying off now during production in that they can actually afford to put 8GB in the thing. Just a year and a half ago 8GB GDDR5 would have been about about $300 alone. Now it's around $100. If prices hadn't come down so much, PS4 would have either been stuck with 4GB or had significantly less (but faster) ram than Xbox One. But instead it has both faster and more ram available to game developers (7GB vs 5...
It would have been an absolute disaster if Sony kept using the Cell. They tried stay away from the traditional PC hardware format with PS3 but they just lost money and it went nowhere. Just made sense to build the perfectly balanced game PC in a box and know how to use it from day 1.
I think a year ago 8 GB GDDR5 would have cost about $300 alone. Now probably still like $100 but will only get cheaper. Sony just hit the absolute perfect timing here when the costs came crashing down.

Xbox One's RAM is pretty decent DDR3 but there's a reason they don't use that kind in graphics cards. It's great for CPU related functions but the much lower bandwidth makes a huge difference in graphical rendering. The reason Xbox One has the EDRAM and the "Move Engines" is to try and compensate for that. PS4 doesn't have the problem to begin with.
Read some good in depth hardware analysis articles (by people who know ...
This gamble paid off so well. 8GB GDDR5 would have seemed astronomically expensive just a year ago. Timing worked out perfectly for the manufacturing tech advancement.
360's key to success was year earlier launch, lower price point, and greatly superior online experience. PS3 still thrived on Sony exclusives and eventually caught up in virtually every aspect.
Now Xbox One is launching at the same time, at $100 more, pushing draconian policies on consumers, and with pretty much equal online features. So how exactly do they even survive let alone remain equal to Playstation?
Every corporation is going to do that now. I would be very surprised if Sony/Nintendo didn't. You can't really blame them for using a legal means to minimize potential lawsuits/loses.
But you sure as hell can blame law makers and the court ruling that allowed this insanity to happen. The entire concept of waiving rights by clicking agree is just atrocious.
Did anyone let them know it's also standard to upgrade your game engine every few years?
Don't worry guys. The shelves will be full of Xbox Ones. You can laugh at them while you wait on PS4 shipments.
