The first problem with this thread is the title.
Flagging sales really? Its not selling as good as the PS4 doesn't mean x box is in trouble.
Selling 4 million consoles in just 4 months is a genuine success.
Sony selling 6 million plus is also a great success.
Threads like this been put up by the community here is what gives n4g a bad name among gamers who like x box.
Its better to have both consoles sell welling than just one. We might favour one console over another, but if there was one only one console to buy means no competition. Lack of competition is bad for gamers.
It does not look as good as E3 version, but that's not surprising really most of these games were pencilled in to launch with the console or just after.
Its just a fact no matter what Microsoft or Sony says. The games shown at last E3 were running on PC hardware.
Why post x box fans are at fault when this was posted by non x box fans get real. Accept it may not be as good as what was shown at E3, so what. Most games shown at E3 were running on PC hardware anyways.
Ryse was not much of a downgrade to be honest it looked fairly good at the end.
People who are not fanboy's still claim its best looking game so far.
X box 1 is well worth the price. And if you didn't think so before, the console has now dropped in price least in Europe. So its nearly on equal footing with PS4 when it comes to price.
PS4 more powerful? I can't wait for GDC i think its going to be explosive news.
The x box 1 GPU is clearly a brand new GPU that can support Directx12. This is the secret sauce everyone thought was a joke.

People forget Respawn is only a new studio that had limited resources when it started. They have no game engine of they're own yet. Respawn started work on Titanfall four years ago so they likely had no idea what the spec's of the PS4 and X Box 1 would be. So they went with an old engine. The game isn't optimised to its full potential yet. The game was finished months ago. Directtx12 and the new SDK's will help this game in the coming weeks and months. Just have to wait for t...
I agree with people losing Jobs recently at two studios belonging to Sony, Jack tretton leaving Sony something unusual is happening behind the scenes. I wonder what is really going on?
The tweets are from last night. When Microsoft was having issues. Are they even important now is it fixed?
Directx11 came out in 2008 another directx hasn't come out since then. Directx11 has only been patched.
Six years was the last directx
What some of you fail to realise directx has to suit the hardware especially the GPU.
The teardowns of the x box stated it was 7000 series graphic card inside the x box 1?
Not possible directx12 would not be suitable for this GPU with set features. Its fairly obvious to anyone who has some...
Titanfall is not a brand new game in development its been worked on for years and now releasing on x box 1.
Microsoft only released there new SDK recently, so realistically Respawn was still working with the old code up till a month ago so they couldn't tweak or change the game all that much.
After launch an update or patch of the resolution is more likely.
Lukas i bet by the summer of this year. Resolution will not matter. Directx12 is a...
IF Directx12 and all its features are coming to x box 1, the only logical conclusion is the x box 1 is not hitting the right performance. Its missing stuff vital to run the console great.
There is talks of the resolution been upped after launch and this is only possible i bet because of new SDK that came in March. Directx12 is the real game changer for Microsoft, when its out, games next year like will be hitting 1080p with ease.
We've been experimenting with making it higher and lower. One of the big tricks is how much ESRAM we're going to use, so we're thinking of not using hardware MSAA and instead using FXAA to make it so we don't have to h...
Titanfall is a game that's been in development for years now. Did anyone expect a resolution change this far in?
The new SDK'S only got to developers late Feb and March. Respawn had no time to up the resolution to 900p or higher.
Its not games like Titanfall were you'll see the improvement in resolution thats going to happen to games during the middle of this year.
Yes they are behind that's well established. You can't ignore the fact though Microsoft has only released in 13 countries.
Lot of people were annoyed by this in other countries. I suspect Microsoft just hadn't the time to produce enough consoles for those other countries.
I think with all the revealing's lately, it does seem like the x box 1 was designed for 2014 launch were Sony was ready for launch in 2013
Why have people bought PS CAMERAS if it is a useless tool? People use Kinect for streaming on twitch tv its used for voice controls and can be used for chatting if you have no mic. Some games are using Kinect. Sorry Kinect is useful.
Microsoft has not released sales figures since December of 2013, so we don't know currently were they stand.
I bet they'll produce figures by the end of this month for sure.
The title is very misleading. You don't pre-order cameras.
PS4 is a console with 6 million units its not surprising people are buying a camera for it.
One guy working for Microsoft supposedly said he would be willing to sell off the x box brand if he was CEO.
Guess what he never got the job. Microsoft debunked the bloomberg article this claim originated from and they said it was work of fiction.
Elop has no power to sell off anything. In fact he got the job as head of x box.
Nothing Microsoft has done suggests they want to sell up the opposite in fact they are throwing millions at develope...
Do you even use the x box 1 Pachter? Removing Kinect wastes all the time and effort Microsoft put in to updating the OS. This guy clearly knows nothing and hasn't even spoken to Microsoft, why Kinect is important.
For me the best online experience i have had is on Gears. Game is just awesome.
Gears using unreal engine 4 with directx12 can't wait.
