It's not Really issues with Xbox tools but more of a limitation of hardware. Tools can help optimize, but the more you optimize the loss I quality you face with textures.
For the past two months NPD has show monthly sales have dipped below what the original Xbox has sold during the same month in the given life of that system and that system was considered a failure...so....
@DJustinUNCHAIND,
By good meaning over 200+ GOTY awards, have any recommendations on Xbox that matches or exceeds in caliber?
Really interested to hear other's take/perspective on this.
@GodGinrai,
Ninja Gaiden II - paid and published by Microsoft released for Xbox 360, one year later (same game with more content) Ninja Gaiden Sigma II released for the PS3.
developers can easily get around exclusivity contracts by changing the name of the game to Definitive version or Complete edition or whatever.

Tbh with the exclusives being do limited/far and few between and nothing that's really a system seller, console of choice seems have mean less every day.
I think MS picked up some momentum but hard to tell how much in quantifiable terms. I feel despite the price drop or diskinect, the same price point with ps4 still has it on unequal footing as most consumers these days hesitate to pay for a less powerful console when talking about shelling out $400.
With the ps2 vs Xbox, the ps2 bulldozed the competition with a library of over 2,000 games.. With current gen consoles libraries are much more comparable.
"Microsoft and EA are hated because they are the biggest in their industry."
What? You make no sense.. Take Two is the biggest publisher in the world and they are not hated. Also if you look it up microsoft were nominated for worst company in America for their anti-consumer drm draconian policies and getting caught participating in NSA PRISM debacle.
Also if you love Steam you should hate Microsoft for trying to squeeze Steam out of Windows 8. You...
I think your getting Sony mixed up with Microsoft. There is a reason why Microsoft was in the running as worst company in America with EA recently. Look it up.
Think about it Microsoft tried to single handidly control/monopolize the used game market with its BS DRM scheme and they are also trying to lock down windows 8 so everything has to be sold through its marketplace store. Reason why Gabe is backing Linux.
Driveclub has very little to prove as information is scant at best. The game has received very little hype.
Yep 100% agree. Not only is The Show the highest rated baseball series, it is now the only game in its genre and only available on the ps4. You can bet this game will pull big numbers in teritories where baseball is big.

Killzone shadowfall runs on dedicated servers and you can also have private matches with your friends.
Now compare that to titanfall which uses Azure but does not support private matches. Sort of defeats the purpose of dedicated servers aside from no host advantage right?
"I like the Xbox Live community, the netcode, and my friends are all on that setup for MP games"
The netcode is being developed by bungie across both platforms so you can expect them to be the same. The xb1 live community is trending lower % of 4 million units out there, so not sure what you like about the community? Less competition maybe? If you look at stats for any MP game like battlefield 4 on the stats site you can see that active user community is doubled on ...
Why in gods green earth would you get Destiny on xb1 when the ps4 version will not only look and run better but will also have exclusive content? o_O
Well the 360 only received quarterly updates. Seems like Microsoft is changing their seasonal update rule with the Xb1, or I guess they are working hard to deliver all the functionality that was suppose to be there since day 1.
Both consoles really don't have that AAA top notch game in the 9s at the moment with inFamous Second Son being the best on the PS4 and Titanfall on the Xb1, but both are still in the 8s score wise. The PS4 does have a constant stream of top notch indie titles such as Towerfall, Outlast, Mercenary Kings and Don't Starve to name a few and many more slated to come out this month.
Few benefits the PS4 does have is that its a much more powerful system with all multiplatfor...
@lifeisgameok
Who wants to bet that like every E3, Sony will be in control of the conversation around the industry.
But Microsoft has less exclusives than Sony, so what's your point?
Just think back to last year when last of us was sweeping the gaming industry winning over 200+ goty awards followed by titles such as Rain, pupeteer, beyond two souls and ending the ps3 generation with GT6 all while Microsoft abandoned their user base mid cycle to push 360 games like dead rising 3 and Ryse onto the Xbox one.
@timotim
You are wrong. Spencer is low man on the totem pole. He reports to terry who is responsible for all windows stuff. Elop is Terry's counterpart and responsible for all hardware and devices including xbox under Julie.
Spencer would be equivalent to yoshida on sonys side, while its not apples to apples. Elop and terry would be equivalent to Andrew house.
you have to realize Microsoft stopped developing Xbox 360 exclusives mid way through its life cycle and shifted some of its games over to the Xbox One such as Ryse and Dead Rising 3.
That's a middle finger to its user base. That would have been like if Sony put The Last of Us, GT6 and Beyond Two Souls onto the PS4. Sony has many of its studios working on also cranking out PS4 games in parallel without sacrificing their PS3 audience.
If halo was a cow I'd be the largest distributor in Wisconsin.
