Unless you in a very slim minority, your tv maxes out at 1080p right? So what exactly are you gaining over a console if you can't actually get the better resolution your high end pc is capable of? Hmmmm... For most games the answer is slim to nothing... A pc rig attached to a tv in most cases turns into an over priced clunky alternative to a console...

Well you can set the light to medium or low now... i would think that would significantly reduce that battery drain to near negligible... seriously you have hardly had the time to even test the new change and you are griping... Why don't you try it out first and then come back and do your complaining. Also, I have a 65 inch tv and it has the glossy screen but I've never noticed the issue with the light being so bright as to distract me. Sometimes if you are wanting to have an issue wi...

Haven't had any issues yet. Maybe it is user error? Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Realistically how many people have their pc hooked up to a 65 inch screen? 4k res on a pc monitor is a complete waste of cycles....

Well considering azure is getting its rear kicked by Amazon and Google I wouldn't be touting azure as something too great. Your company using it for work is far more simplistic than live gaming. Sony already makes use of Amazon cloud. Which for those who do live in a hole is the top cloud provider on the market. Basically most analysts(not pachter) claim cloud is a race between amazon and Google in which Google will eventually come out on top... Ms is a distant 3rd and not considered a co...

Lol at the disagree. It literally is 2 million consoles sold. 1.2 are x1s and 800k are 360s.. Thats what it states.. from the article:

"Of course there are news specific to the Xbox division as well, and according to the company, during the quarter 2 million Xbox consoles were sold in (shipped) to retailers. Of those 1.2 million were Xbox One units, while 800,000 were Xbox 360."

@chuckyj1

Revenue isn't profit... MS likely took a significant loss on the X1 according to the numbers we see here..

According to the article, the revenue is 2 billion for hardware devices. but gross margin was only 256 million.

the profits for all hardware devices would be a chunk less than the gross margin(which subtracts only part of the costs). The x1 is one part of quite a long list of devices and peripherals that MS includes in this a...

the 800k is xbox 360s... read the article...

Just to put things into perspective.

For the quarter MS reported a $20billion in revenue overall... $1.97 billion included all hardware devices sold.
Of that $1.97billion approximately $600million came direct from console sales of X1(1.2mil * 500). another $200 million came from the 360(.8mil * 250).

The surface tablets alone accounted for $494 million which roughly equates to 1.2 million sales(494mil / ~$400).

The rest probably came ...

Ulf, that really shows a complete lack of understanding of how things work. Being easy to develop for is not synonymous with being optimized for performance. Quite the opposite... The most optimal coding would come from working at a really low level as it would give you the most control. Think working in machine or assembly vs .net or java... The fact that the X1 isn't optimized and is still hard to write code for means that there are either significant hardware limitations or MS did a pi...

They are fine. Taking a month is not a big deal. Taking a year would be unreasonable. I think we are incredibly unreasonable with turnaround times for fw updates. It truthfully amazes me how quickly consoles do get updates out. The scariest thing is when something big is rushed out and breaks things because it wasn't properly tested.

Exactly! Controversy drives revenue for a site like n4g. Actually most sites capitalize on over use of dramatics. If there were no blind fanboy trolls commenting there would be no closet trolls to call them out and feign impartiality while still clearly pushing their own agenda. Not to mention the retorts from other equally blind trolls that snowball with each controversial post. Sure every once in a while there is an intelligent comment but n4g would go bust if that was all there was.

Let's not forget that the difference in sales between titanfall and infamous is very small and titanfall had an extra week of sales. Over infamous. Not to mention the numbers likely don't account for digital distribution.

I don't understand... Just don't set up Facebook on your ps4 if you don't want it reporting about your games... seems like you are trying too hard to criticize.

The ones that don't care aren't on here they are playing their games... obviously we all do or we wouldn't be commenting

Depends... If you game on a 20 inch tv you are definitely right. I use a 65 inch tv. The bigger the screen the more noticeable the differences. 900 and 1080p is actually a fairly notable difference. Outside of res and rate the ps4 often has better effects too which are notable on any screen.

It will really be titanfall 1.5 or 1.2 as it will be the first titanfall to have single player story mode. It was likely omitted in the go around due to the exclusivity of the first despite what is being said.

The only person you can ever truly save is your own self... Do so by leaving this site and never returning... The idea that any gaming site will ever not have fanboys and flame wars is a ridiculous pipe dream. Although if it really bothered you, you would not have an account and continue to read comments on here. Otherwise i'd recommend just sifting through the comments and finding the ones that suit you and just agreeing to disagree with the ones that don't. You will be happier if yo...

How disrespectful! Phil is a God among men... of course it is demeaning to refer to him as human. Yoshida is the devil.... lol! Sorry couldn't resist... i think they both are alright guys or at least they present themselves well publicly... how they really are we may never know.. The conjecture especially the ridiculous stuff is amusing though. I really doubt yoshida or Spencer will ever be caught publicly demeaning each other. It just doesn't fit their styles.
