I just leave this here:

"Phil is talking about PCs, he’s talking about mobile. It speaks to a secondary Microsoft purpose — the idea of fluidity between devices. The idea that the device disappears and the service itself takes priority. Phil believes this is the philosophy that will push consoles through that glass ceiling, towards those stratospheric mainstream numbers. Then we see the domino effect of that shift. The end result: more video games and better video games. ...

I never made any kind of comparison! You guys should try to actually read the above mentioned article/ review.
Its conclusion is:
"Sure, Gears of War 4 is hardly a grand transformation for the series, but much like Uncharted 4 on PS4, it manages to find a balance between the new and the old."

The key argument here is that Gears took a similar road: to stick to its roots but built on them as did UC4. I did not, by any means, try to compare those g...

maybe you should actually read the above review:

Best comment on this article, maybe even N4G! Nailed exactly what is wrong with gaming journalism and fanboy bickering!

"Verdict: Play it

All I need to know, seems like The Coalition did a great job on delivering the Gears experience! Can't wait to play it :)

Awesome review, can't wait to play the game. Seems we are in for another treat :)

That pricing seems reasonable! :)

The Scorpio won't have Kinect and they will have AMD tech that launches in early 2017 (Vega + Zen based??). I expect a discount on the hardware from AMD since it again might be a semi customized APU-like SOC with a large quantity of order. So even with a UHD player MS could make some small profit per unit or at least comes out w/o loss.
So a price around $500 seems reasonable for the entry SKU. But I expect the entry SKU to sta...

Scorpio for me, since I have no interest in Sony consoles. I want to go all 4K and HDR next year with my home entertainment, so the Scorpio release will be the date I update my living room :)

Nevertheless I am also interested to see if the NX will innovate the gaming landscape again, like the Wii did. A surprise there could sway me to get a NX too.

Be aware of the audio lag problem I described in my comment if you want to try this out.

Unless they fix the audio lag of the guitar-sound I am never going to buy another Rocksmith. Even after adding a digital to analog audio converter via optical audio from the xbox directly into my guitar amp, there still is a slight lag.
Be aware of this problem as it really kills this otherwise great learning game!!

Read the actual interview, Greenberg never states anything on closing the gap. He talks about what they are doing to please the Xbox gamers. It is just another headline that tries to tickle the fanboys...

"Q: I was in [a company's] briefing last week, and they said by the end of the year you'd sell 29 million Xbox Ones, versus 52 million PlayStation 4s. Obviously those are estimates, but the gap is there. How do you close that gap, and how focused are you on cl...

IMO it is the perfect positioning. For my hands it feels significantly more comfortable than with the DS4. I can't play with two analog sticks so close next to each other.
For my taste Xbox has the best controller. The day one Xbox One controller is awesome and MS improved on its design with every itteration so far.

LOL, thumbs up, this is so true! I always wonder how people can argue like that in the console/PC market.

Yeah, unfortunately the conservative wing in Germany always tries to spin, that people that execute such tragic gun rampages like in Munich have been heavyly influenced by violent games. As if that was the cause and not the assassins phsychological problems....
I hate those kind of arguments! I could easily counterargue with some other stupid stuff like: 50% of all gun rampage assassins play videogames but 100% of them eat bread! Stop serving bread!

Ah, the quarterly "doom and gloom for Xbox" comment section is in town. Is it that time of the year already.

Since I can take my games library with me thanks to X86 architecture and BC, and since MS said all the accessories will work too (looking at you Kinect and Elite Gamepad) this will be a no brainer for me to trade in my X1 for the Scorpio.
But I will wait and see if those promises really come true.

2017 will be a sad wallet year since I am making the jump to 4K with the Scorpio arrival (new TV and AVR), so trade-in programs are very welcome to me :)

Rod Ferguson said that talking about Gears 4 ( http://www.polygon.com/2016... But IMO this is more in terms of maybe 2 or 3 FPS better than on X1.

Surely the One S has a slightly altered design due to SOC shrink and other processes involved in the evolution of the SOC fabrication process that might lead to an increased power impact. In general the One S won't make X1...

As MS said before: all in the hands of the devs. If a game has locked 30 FPS Scorpio won't change that, unless the devs patch the game. Only thing I see happening without patches is games that where struggling to maintain 30 or 60 FPS will be at constant 30/60 FPS.

The campaign wasn't much shorter as in the previous titles.
