I've held the DS4 a few times. It felt really solid and I just don't buy this one. You've got a bunch of people coming in and using it and probably treating it like sh*t because it's not theirs.
Both the X1 controller and the DS4 are extremely well-built. I was pleasantly surprised.
@ P0werVR
Coincidence? You're an amateur penny stock trader. I'm a private equity fund manager with an extensive investment banking background. Don't take this too personally but don't compare yourself to me in that regard. That would be like me calling myself a scientist because I can boil water.
What's funny is that, in your mind, an analyst from Nomura Securities isn't reputable but Investors Hub, a scam website, is.
To be fair, you were one of the MS apologists until earlier today.
I'm just giving you a hard time. I agree with your comment. I too was an MS apologist until a few days ago.
@P0werVR - I work on Wall Street so before you go any further, please be mindful of who you are talking to.
I do not believe for a second that you've seen them or that you knew what a 10-K was before I just told you. So don't tell me that "you've seen them."
So you know, they absolutely would say that Xbox is losing them money if that were the case. They are required to, either in their filings or on a quarterly earnings call, break ou...

That's the full screen cap. Sorry to rain on your parade.
The reason it is only visible in one frame of the video is due to a glitch. I mean, damn, MS can't even blur a video properly. Yikes.
@devwan - Denial is actually Stage 1... Stage 3 is Bartering. Actually, I would say he's somewhere in between Stages 1 & 2 (Stage 2 being...
Join the club.
I was an Xbox guy until about a week ago. While I don't think graphics are everything, the whole multiplat resolution issue was the last straw.
The bad news has continued to flow from the MS camp over the last week giving me confidence I've made the right choice.
@P0werVR - What are you talking about that no one knows their true financials? Of course we do, they are a public company and are regulated by the SEC. Go check out their annual filing (Form 10-K). You'll get all the detail right there.
Wonder if anyone noticed that I already took one.
I think they look great.
But I also think that the hardware should be more than what it is if indeed graphic fidelity is key. Again, if that is the first thing he mentions when he mentions what is key about the system, it gives me pause.
If someone from Sony said something like "being an all-in-one multimedia device for the living room is key," I would say the same thing. The PS4 focuses on graphics and gaming at its core and is not nor is it inte...
I'm not sure why you're bring the PS4 into this conversation.
My comment, and underlying point, is that if graphic fidelity was key the X1 would have specs that are closer to that of a high-end PC. They would have had to take some other pieces out (ie Kinect) to achieve that.
It was just odd that he mentions graphic fidelity first and calls it key when clearly that's not the case. The X1 was designed to be an all-in-one device for the living roo...
"Graphic fidelity is key."
Oh, is it now?
* better launch games.
* PS4 has Killzone, better graphics, better hardware, and losers who count pixels all day because they are actually there.
Wait, this is news to me. "Let the console wars begin?"
Um, have you been to any of the gaming sites for the past 8 months? This sh*t has been in full effect for the better part of a year now.
I took off two weeks... sort of... I start a new job on December 1st and, coincidentally, finish my current job on November 8th.
Also, we don't need to hear any excuses as to why you're taking work off. We aren't your boss. We understand that even if you were busy, you'd still be taking off ;)
Is that a One Direction song? (kidding)
Dude, come on. I'm getting a PS4 but to even suggest that the Xbox 360 and X1 should be compared in terms of what they can or cannot do is simply ridiculous. In your world, I could ask you the same thing about the PS3 and PS4 and it would be just as viable of a question.
That's like asking what a 2014 Ford can do that a 1980 Ford cannot. Yeah, they both have four wheels and take you places but that's about where the similarities end.
Just accept...
@sobekflakmonkey - that's awesome. I have a 50" Panasonic plasma that I bought a few months back. I was all excited to have that bad boy ready for the PS4 but then I read an article that my model (ST60) has terrible input lag.
After telling myself repeatedly that's the reason why my quick-twitch skills had deteriorated (and not my advancing age or declining eyesight, I hope), I decided to grab a very nice monitor with low input lag to make sure that didn't h...
@mewhy32 - It would appear we aren't having to worry about parity elsewhere either ;)
@NewMonday - I could be your Butters if you'd like. I don't really have any cryogenic experience per se but I could give it a shot. My freezer is pretty nice.
I'm going to disagree with you. The way it's worn down looks like it was rubbed off or sanded down (I'm not saying that's what happened).
When you play games, your thumb doesn't really slide around that much on rubber. This isn't impact wear, this is frictional wear.That kind of wear would take much longer than a few weeks of use.
