In other news, nothing....
The Xbox One audio chip is definitely better, but that's only due to being designed to handle Kinect voice (now practically irrelevant). It was never going to give any noticable 'gains', as others have said PS4 also has a dedicated audio chip, which is more than fit for purpose.
Most pointless article, ever.
Yea it did, best fun I've ever had in a racer. Doesn't take 'sells' (sales) to make an awesome game... if that actually were the case I'd still be buying COD 4.6
USB 3.0 External SSD is going to be infintely better than any cheap HDD MS puts in the console... using a good hard drive speeds everything up (from OS, game loading, to texture loading etc..).
Plus internal 500GB HDD's are pretty stable, don't see them failing at all. I've had 2 HDD's fail in my lifetime (30+ units since 1997), both were recent 2TB models.
As far as your scenario goes, 3 - 5 years, I'd expect you're on your own as wi...
2.4 million consoles in the quarter, that probably includes the 360 numbers, still a lot better than I thought.
@Nekroo - I was replying to the comment that XBO doesn't have anything better, your defense is irrelevant.
GPGPU can be done on XBO too, you can't have 50% better graphics processing AND have more CPU due to GPGPU.
PS4 is a better gaming console, everyonoe knows it, I don't get why people are so defensive against XBO's other strengths, IMO they're actually really cool.
HDMI in, Dual OS, IR Blaster, Night vision motion control, Intergrated TV, DLNA, Custom themes/backgrounds, voice control of all features and TV/Set-top box, Family-sharing, Smartglass, Monthly Updates etc...
Yea sure it doesn't have anything better, an boy that PS4 CPU is in a league of it's own.
Cloud does not mean dedicated servers, with a basic understanding of networking you'd know that cloud means remote servers networked together to provide services, storage and resources.
I have a dedicated server running in my home, it is not a CLOUD server, it is a standalone dedicated server.
A server farm can be part of a cloud service, but it in itself can not be defined as 'the cloud'.
Cloud is a term to describe an umbrella o...
Yea me too shoot back on for short burst occasionally... Counter-strike was my all day long FPS, although COD4 was amazing and pretty much the last game I've ever played for long stretches. Not sure whether it's age or overfamiliarity.
What? OP pulls figures out of thin air, and somehow that makes me 'believe' in a corporate giants lies and scams... please tell me more about this connection you've made, I'm very interesting in hearing it. Dunning–Kruger effect, plain and simple.
"3-1 installed base" - made up
"floundering Xbox One" - false
"3,4,5+ duplicate consoles last gen" - made up
"25 million worldwide" made up
"stop gimping their games down to Xbox level graphics" - another fabrication
Well said, only on N4G.
Yea best update yet although I've had it since early September so not new for me. Been playing full HD MKVs every night.. Seriously impressed with the community support too, talked directly to the developer adding MKV functionality, mentioned an error on a certain type which was then fixed within 4 days. I'm glad MS messed up, its resulted in an unparallelled community driven approach.
Counterstrike was such a profoundly difficult and rewarding game. Quick to die, no respawn and sharp shooting mechanics made skill and concentration a requirement to do well. My all time favourite game. R6 Siege is my most anticipated title, looks fantastic!
MS shared how it's done in June:

I remember reading quite a while back that the size of eSRAM is perfect for 1080p with modern forward rendering.
Seems PG has shown us this.
So it's Xbox One fanboys now because for the past few days we have had some good news stories, and relevant discussions.
Don't worry, it'll not be long before another anti-xbox article appears that shoots up to max degrees with hundreds of comments.
When I started here I thought I was doing something wrong with the clearly disproportionate number of disagrees I was getting, doesn't take long to catch on why.
For some reason this place can't have Xbox owners thinking they're not second place.
You and me both... I've been playing AOE Castle Seige for WPhone and Win8, although it's pay to win and not anywhere near as good as proper version.
Just FYI you're supposed to take the stabilisers (assists) off in FH2. Changes the games ease completely.
BC2 was the best version no doubt, I still liked BF3. BF4 was a disaster, however I'll say the same thing I said at the time, BF4 at the very worst was still my favorite 'next-gen' game. 64players at 60FPS on console was a big step up from BF3.
Not interested in Hardline, probably pick it up as an afterthought. I'm not going to lie, Star Wars Battlefront will have me throwing money at it.
3rd Party Developers are not going have one online system for Xbox and an entirely sepertate one for other platforms.
Major Nelson provided the layered photoshop skin, this user literally laid over black and slid the opacity bar. Looks nice, but no work on thier part.
