I would suggest that this support guy is like most "support guys" and reads from a flip card index and if the answer is not on the index then he doesn't have a clue what to do.
You have read way to many threads by 14 year olds that think they know networking. Yes there is latency and their is bandwidth.
1. Latencies have been dropping like a rock and will continue to do so as fiber optics become the standard. I can ping any server I want from my connection and I never get a ping time above 12 ms. That means 6 ms to the server and 6 ms back. Now they do something at a server farm called distributed processing. This means that many servers proces...
Please put a ban on articles by fools from France. That was rather embarrassing and I am an Xbox One fan.
Can anyone explain to me the huge desire for backwards compatibility? If you are buying either a PS4 or Xbox One you obviously want it to play the next gen games. So if you are new to consoles and this is your first one then you don't have a collection of last gen games to play and if you already had a 360 or PS3 then why not just play it on them?
On the hardcore triple AAA games we will have to see but it is highly likely it will be incorporated but not in the way that most people assume. Most people still have the idea of full motion gaming in their head as the only gaming function of the Kinect. I would argue that fully motion gaming will be the smallest segment of the Kinect. What you will see is more subtle uses of the Kinect such as in game voice commands, hand gestures, and some of the more natural things that most people do ...
The PS Eye does not even come close in capabilities to the Kinect 2 with the Xbox One.
The voice command functionality is also far superior on the Xbox One. Even Francis AKA Boogie2988 who was dead set against the Kinect 2 coming with the Xbox One agrees that it is great.
If you don't like it that is fine. If you love PS4 that is fine. Leave it at that. No one is making you buy an Xbox One so don't try defend your console choice by trying to compare...

Sony is a public corporation and could not give a rat's ass about gamers further than the fact that gamers give them money for gaming. That is it. Microsoft is the same.
Take your head out of what ever little fantasy land you live in and look at the real world for a minute.
Each company makes decisions based on what they feel the market wants. They have market analysts who help determine the direction they should go in to make ...
I think that good things are on the way for WM and Nokia. Windows 8 seems to be catching on finally and is starting to displace android on mobile platforms (more on tablets than anything but it is coming). I read a report on Forbes I think that was saying it looked like it would move ahead of android by 2015 if its growth continued.
People can bash windows but it sure is convenient to have it on all of your platforms.
I like all the consoles and have all the last gen ones plus the WiiU and intend to get both the PS4 and Xbox One. I prefer Xbox so will be getting that first.
However being an Xbox fan I really have to say that MS should really give Major Nelson an office job. I get that he is a loyal Xbox guy and he has been their for a long time but he just feels more like your grandfather who sits in the corner pondering grandfather shit.
Time to retire him and bring o...
Seriously? Who cares. I was more interested in the Nokia Windows phone ad. I think I might just go with a Nokia next time.
Journalism has reached a new low. Liked the first 3 pictures however.
Although this guy is not trolling he is looking for quick clicks.
Lets clear up a few misconceptions that I have dragged from several articles on just this subject:
1. Quote: "Just how much could Microsoft stand to benefit from shedding themselves of the Xbox? Well according to Rick Sherland doing so along with shedding Bing in conjunction with other moves could increase earnings 40%."
This potential 40% increase in earnings is a one ti...
Yeah, you have to have HDMI out of your receiver for sure. I have my TV and Internet on High Speed Fiber Op so it is HD but I also live in Canada and the Xbox One Guide is not available at launch here. It is coming but not until a deal is worked out with our service providers.
I am just one of those guys that likes the bleeding edge of technology and don't mind putting up with the initial hiccups that will be fixed by patches over the next few months.

It can see better in lower light conditions with this lens for sure. It cannot see in the dark. The different aperture just means that it lets in more visible light than the other aperture. This only goes so far. It also does not negate the affect of varying light sources that cause shadow, intense lighting conditions or lack of light. It does not see in Ultra Violet which works in in all lighting conditions from total darkness to full light and with shadows. It also does not see in Inf...
The PS4 does facial recognition too. The difference is that you do not need to turn the Xbox on like the PS4. When you walk into the room with the Kinect and the Xbox is off all you do is say Xbox on and the Kinect automatically sees you and signs you in.
I can see how it would be a hassle for the PS4 seeing how you have to turn the console on and then get your face in the correct position. That is why I won't buy the PS Eye once I get a PS4. I am however excited ab...
All in all this was one of the best and most honest review articles on either console that I have read. Very up front about what works well and what doesn't. You can tell that he definitely has a "Boner" for the Xbox One but does not shy away from the things that disappointed or did not work as expected.
I am buying the Xbox One for the gaming but I am hyped about all of these extra features and I am more than willing to put up with some software glitches that...
It stands for Fear Uncertainty and Doubt. If you can't figure that you then you should not read my post.
This is nothing but FUD promoted by some bored Sony fanboy.
They will not be getting rid of this division period. If you follow the logic of this article they you may as well write a companion article about how completely fucked Sony currently is due mostly to the losses with the PS3 and the rest of their electronics division. It would make far more financial sense for Sony to divest of PS4 to refocus on the rest of their electronic division profitable and continue pumping ...
Haven't seen anything either.
Agreed it is a stupid bug but it will be fixed soon and yes from what they said you can have two controllers on but you cannot have two people trying to navigate while the game is booting.
