I think it's more to do with MS priorities. They went with Esram because they wanted an entertainment box first & a gaming console second. Going with GDDR5 at the time would have cost them a lot due to the fact they wanted 8GB from the get-go. Sony was gaming first as they were fine with going with 4GB GDDR5 we can see this from the leaks & the late announcement of the consumer consoles getting 8GB as pointed out by MightyNoX Sony got lucky and was able to get 8GB for consumer con...

"Yeah its a bit better than ps4 CPU" - It is not.

"Like a similar AMD-made chip found inside the PS4, this one is a combination of a CPU and a graphics-processing unit (GPU) that handles gaming graphics"

That price is not just for the CPU it's for the APU which is the CPU & GPU together and in XB1's case the embedded Esram for the GPU.

Interesting.

Sony seems to have gotten a great steal with their APU solution with their GPU being 30-40% more powerful and having a similar CPU to XB1's but coming in $10 cheaper.

Looool just let him & misterx continue to dream ;)

"I call BS just like these reports"

Did you bother to look at the source of this first? Did you see that it's from the official Xbox forums by a member with a very high gamerscore suggesting is a long time Xbox fan. No because you're too hang up in a bubble thinking XB1 has zero issues.

Good find ;)

Edit - This is why a source should be in the article...

Yh add it to the title EBTpickle.

Edit 2 - Some people can login in fine some it look like it's not widespread an just a percentage of users.

I bit strong worded :p but SP was not bad. MP was very mixed. Weapon balancing was well done but I don't like how the shotgun works personally & the verticalness with the dropdowns & whatnot.

I love Gears 3 and still play it to death even though lag is a big problem for me & the damn OP retro lancer. Those are probably the worst things I feel about the MP for Gears 3.

That will make me happy has a massive Gears head but I don't know if I trust them after the mess up that is judgement. Still happy about this news :)

Looool as pointed out by people in the comments so AMD just take the $100 from each console & don't pay for the manufacturing & licensing cost, etc..... Right.

This article is a fail. Next time take into consideration to the cost of the production of the chips.

Oh good I thought this was the leaked bundle but is just a game bundle. The leaked official bundle shows everything in the box & doesn't have games from what it seems. Well at list not this many.

I think the worse thing about it is what you highlighted yesterday is the fact that even if you buy the DLC you still have work to get enough credits to buy the car in-game or spend more money with microtransactions.

4584d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

No. They shouldn't because depending on how badly implemented it is it can mess with some people's Physiology leading them into giving in and spending money. This leads pub/devs into believing people like it and continue to include it in their games.

Microtransactions are meant to get devs money in F2P games has a means of revenue even if it's P2W it just means microtransactions are implemented badly. That is why access to the game is free. Devs need to get their ...

"Let's not forget that the XBO also launched in 13 countries, while the ps4 attempted to monopolise its launch stock in the North of the USA. Not sure why they did that. I smell yield issues?"

How does that make sense considering Sony is going to be launching in 30 countries on the 29th which is more than 2x what MS did.

That points to MS having the yield issues not Sony.

Wat??How is it ignorant? All she said was she was excited to have more direct access to the GPU. Why do you think things like mantle exist or why MS updated their driver not too long ago to enable something similar(mono driver).

"Ps4 has much of its resources going to OS as well." - Ahhh I see you're just being salty. PS4 also has a more powerful GPU, doesn't have 10% of it's GPU locked for OS stuff and as Graphics oriented ram.
This has nothing...

4584d ago 1 agree0 disagreeView comment

This right here confirms that it's yield issues & or that there is quite a difference in interest levels between the two. Looking at amazon as an indicator PS4 sits at #3 in the best sellers of 2013 just after GTA 5 compared to XB1 where it sits at #34 for standard edition, #49 for day one edition with Fifa 14. The forza 5 bundle is uncharted and 2 days ago the Standard edition XB1 was 35th & Day one Fifa 14 bundle is 46th.

Man this sounds real interesting... Can't wait to see more footage of this. Iirc the order is doing something similar in terms of realistic damage & physics.

Seriously the crowd thing just feels so out of place & very last minute with the duplicates & the fact it's people from the development team. IMO they should have just cut it out completely.

Also looool at the fact GT6 has 3D crowds.

Can't wait to see what she/ND do with code to metal & GPGPU.

Watched it earlier the voice commands doesn't seem to add any real benefit & will be slow doing the heat of action. The head tracking stuff is pretty cool but don't know how useful that will be but considering jack said he wasn't able to see his screen properly because he had to tilt his head it doesn't seem too great apart from to goof around once in a while.
