This is indeed a useful achievement! Instead of searching Youtube for the guidance, you have it on your console. Nice!

So the 10 mil. people for the following reasons:
- slimmer
- better design
- better specs (40% more powerful)
- games that are on their theist
- Sony's good vision
- good price
- lots more reasons (Ps Vita stream, first party developers, VOICE COMMANDS OUT OF THE BOX)

Instead, according to this article they should have bought a Xone, for what reasons? Let's see:
- VCR look console;

What are you talking? It's not like the 10 million consoles were sold in the day of the release!

So only (partly) the consoles sold in the first 1 months could have been sold based on the first impression.

After that is solely based on how the console manages to convince the customers through games, power, aspect, quality, price.

I know a lot of people that didn't buy any console and they want to buy a PS4 not for the "first impr...

Firstly, the Xone drops as much as 8 fps in DF's video (look at around 3:34).

Your statement according to which it drops once 6fps is false, as according to DF's video the 6 fps drops is commonly for Xone's version of Diablo 3. For example, it drops 6 fps at around 1:49, around 1:54 and also between 3:31 and 4:07 (more than 30s of frame drops) there are plenty of occasions when Xone drops 6 fps.

As regards the 12,000 frames you're talking, thi...

For whom is this guide good for? If someone wants to play Ps4 on a SDTV then it has to go to a medical check up :-)

@Sh0w
But you are serious? I'll give you one example. Last gen, 360 won over Ps3 for less than that. I'll give you as example Far Cry 3 where the resolutions where as follows:
PS3 1274x702
X360 280x704

As regards the performance in the gameplay there was a difference of 2 fps.

In this face off The X360 won, despite the minimal difference between them.

Nonetheless, I was just stating my opinion on the Xone fut...

This does not sound good for the future of Xone.

Not even a year pasted from the release of Xone and Microsoft engineers are directly involved in the optimizations of the games.

And even with this help, Diablo 3 is not able to run at a constant 60 fps?!

What will happen after 1-2 years from now for Xone?

The future does not sound good for Xbox!

In case of Diablo 3, they look virtually identical but perform differently, given the Xone drops frames in the low 50s (we don't know how it performs with 2-3 additional players).

In the case of Metro Redux, the versions perform identical, but look vastly different, as the Xone's version is 912p, while Ps4's version is 1080p.

So no, the gap is not closing. In my opinion the gap will widen, based on the following consideration:

Why shouldn't Strangelove be upset. He bought the $500 version of Xbox One by listening to the Xbox leaders that Kinect is the non-disposal part of the Xone. This means that people paid $500 for the Kinect version with the promise of having MS's support in Kinect (games, features).

Now what they have? A piece of hardware that nobody cares anymore (the next 3 bundles will not include Kinect) and which in the near future will cost $30 on ebay.

So yes,...

It's faster but not largely faster. You can check this article from Digital Foundry

The clear conclusion was that an external HDD doesn't improve in any significant way the performance nor the loading times (in some cases it is even slower than the stock HDD).

Sorry but I don't see anything for which we should praise this game. I mean, it will be a game like others, with nothing special. Let's see what could be talked about it:
- is a mixture of elements between real and fantasy, having a guy that jumps on trees and rides (with his shoes!!!) on wires?!!! OoooK.... So it doesn't have a clear identity!
- has a lot of elements already seen in other games: Dead Rising 3 (zombie part and weapons combination); Ratchet and Clan...

Does anyone have the issue of not seeing the pictures that are attached to each article/ subject from n4g? I know that I'm off the topic but I don't know how to solve this issue that became frustrating. Thanks for understanding and solution!

I have this issue on both PC and android tablet.

OT Extremely beautiful graphics.

I don't think that white on white will look cool. Sorry but I think that black gadgets in white furniture pop out better.

4207d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Sorry to contradct you but based on my experience with the white WII, black and white do not go with any colour. The white Wii looked awful, and all my entertainment setup/ system looked awful. I was so happy when N released a black version, that I sold the white one. For me is clearly a NO for white gadgets.

4207d ago 6 agree2 disagreeView comment

I agree!

The principle applying:

If you fool me once shame on you, if you fool me twice shame on me.

I refuse to be fooled by MS in every aspect (DRM, kinect, cloud, DX12, games that are presented as exclusive and after that see the release on PC/PS4). And I'm referring solely to this generation without bringing the past.

Did you read what you have wrote?

With the exception of one game (i.e. Wolfenstein) all the games haven't been released yet.

So, pay attention to this:
- BF Hard-line 1080p 60fps
They said they are targeting... However, currently the BETA game plays on PS4 at 900p. So it is a long run for Xbox to achieve 1080p.

- Wolfenstein 1080p 60fps
It has dynamic resolution and the Xbox One can drop it to an extreme of 960x108...

4207d ago 33 agree6 disagreeView comment

Did they try 792p? Or this resolution didn't work either.

Either way, the question is whether they used the new SDK and the additional 10%.

4207d ago 8 agree22 disagreeView comment

For me neither of the companies won. Both conferences were bland, except for 2-3 occasions seen at each event.

What is more interesting to see is that MS prefers to pay money to have exclusives, instead of investing them in creating/ buying first party support. Think that the money paid are for a game that will be released more than a year from now, time which could have been used in creating a long term investment.

In other words MS looses its time and mone...

You're right.

Everyone should chill out. Until fall of 2015 there is plenty of time for clarifications regarding this subject.

Also do not forget that Uncharted 4 will be released until then.

If MS really secured this title, then MS played a lot of money and with that they might have used all their bullets.

I'm partly with you as I had very high expectations.

However, I cannot say that the WHOLE show was a disaster.

For me it won on the feature side with 2.0 update.

As regards the games... not very impressed.
