The Japanese people don't have an issue with American culture. Their issue is more with our products. But I doubt that extends to brands like Beats. I know they love Apple in general as well as Rap. So I doubt they take issue with that.

If it's the marketing he is unhappy with it might be the lack of it. If that is the case I'm sure it's just a communication problem. It seems Microsoft under Phil pushes what's next more than what's next year. Which is...

I haven't bought CoD since MW2. A return to WW2 could get me back. A re-master of 1 through 3 would definitely get me. Some of my best CoD memories are playing with my German friend and his German friends. I couldn't tell if it was the game or them yelling instructions to each other half the time.

This was kinda announced back at the Windows 10 event in January. If you watched Phil Spencer's talk he mentions that Windows 10 is coming to Xbox One followed by saying they didn't expect to see millions of Excel documents produced on Xbox it could.

The really interesting thing would be offering Azure compute for college students. I believe Office 365 is free for students. If you allow free or cheap cloud support it makes an Xbox One a powerful option for students of...

Great mind? Obviously not enough space to include Bottle, huh.

AoE would be nice. That was the first game I actually completed.

I'm not sure it is as much about Microsoft messing up as it is about Sony not messing up. Microsoft launched before they had their OS ready. The closer we get to Windows 10 and DX12 the more 1080p Xbox One games we get. Microsoft would have been better off having a Kinectless version day one or finally releasing a killer app for Kinect. They needed to have something more than drivatars for the cloud. Crackdown should remedy the cloud doubting. Microsoft needs to lead the way on Kinect sor...

I think we will get an Xbox One redesign next year. AMD should already be using 20nm chips and they announced earlier this year they were moving to 16 or 14 next year. I bet they would have done a redesign this year if the move to 14/16 hadn't come so quickly.

Did I just get listed for a personal attack on a comment directed at no one in particular? The inmates are truly running the asylum. If the "moderators" are willing to let fanboys run the site for them cool. Instead of trying to take advantage of the success of the site by providing a forum for layman to have honest discussion they've decided to let lifes clowns be the guides.

Oh well. On the bright side it just reminds people with a brain to be patient and push...

Popper the ten percent was what was needed to make Kinect go. With dx12 I'm sure it needs less than ten percent. But that is because there isn't a CPU in Kinect like was originally planned. But Kinect has equipment built within it that allows it to use only that ten percent. Things that make it much more than a mic. Plus you're comparing an incomplete system. Maybe you haven't noticed that Xbox One matches PS4 on resolution and frame rate on all of the upcoming games. So contr...

I'm not sure I would automatically choose Playstation. One thing people have been silent on is that all of the games on Xbox One seem to be 1080p now. We have been told over and over by so called experts that DX12 and Windows 10 wouldn't make a difference. Yet here we are with nothing but 1080p games. If the difference was marginal at first it is a complete nonfactor now. Time to let the superior hardware thing die.

The reason to choose one console over the other woul...

The problem is microphones don't do voice recognition on their own. Someone has to code the game to recognize the signals from the mic. Kinect doesn't require much additional programming as it does the heavy lifting part of the act.

A mic is like having GPS in a normal car. Tell it you want to go home and it marks the way. Kinect is like having GPS in a automated car. Tell it you want to go home and it marks the route and then drives you there. It a huge difference. ...

Not really. Doesn't Kinect itself contain the actual recognition ability. I remember when Mass Effect added voice they said it was easy on Xbox because Kinect did all of the voice recognition. You remove it and you have to program for every interaction with every program. Plus I'm sure Kinect would work better for Cortana just like Mantle works well with amd cards and worse with NVIDIA cards. Companies gear things toward their equipment m

Lemonade if I were your friend I wouldn't pay up just yet. This console isn't coming out until 2017-18. At that point the chips should be 10nm. So you're talking powerful but low power consumption. AMD is making the parts so you could get a Zen APU with stacked memory and GNC's next architecture. If you add AMD's power boost when docked ability you end up with a Wii U tablet that pushes much more power than a PS4 or Xbox One when docked. And would still be cheap to make. T...

I think the only thing that has changed is the way Phil handles the public. He is a lot more patient and calm under scrutiny. Don didn't have the patience for 12 year olds that have no understanding of the direction technology is moving. If you read gaming websites or comment sections you will mostly see people questioning the possibility that the cloud computing could ever add to gaming. But if you read the business section or watch Bloomberg you will see the exact opposite.

It shouldn't come as a shock. If nothing else the number of OS updates having nothing to do with the look of the dashboard makes it clear the OS wasn't ready and was intended for DX12. Despite the parts involved being different the overall performance of the two consoles is similar because of design and OS. Maybe in the future the PS4 will move ahead again but they are closer than most thought. Like many things there is more to it than numbers.

Edmix if it's not about BC what is it about. You can still buy a ps2 or 3. Though Sony fans seem to have moved on. If it's about playing on other devices, it looks like Microsoft is doing that for free too with universal apps. Sony fans don't believe in cloud compute. It looks like Gaikai was just a bad acquisition right now. Unless they go cloud compute with it Microsoft undercuts the value of any planned service with offering the same thing for free.

I have a feeling Dreams is going to consist of a small package of LSD and no game disc. That new experience has been happening since the 60's. Ask your parents.

Kneon it has a lot of use in gaming both on the couch and off. The things I mentioned like LARPing or survival horror in a park. On the couch I could see it being used for RTSs and as an way to do 3d add ambiance to games. Rainstorms extend out into the room. Lightning strikes next to you. Smoke or fog fill the room. The bugs or flies land on your hand. You're searching for a monster or zombie and hear something behind you. You turn in your chair and it's there. Or in Star Wars your ...
