No one ever said xbone performance will increase 100% or anything close to that.
So by removing something the consumer didn't want, everyone loses?
These are gimmick devices.
SECRET SAUCE = MORE POWER
CLOUD = MORE POWER
DX12 = MORE POWER
NO KINECT = MORE POWER
XBOX ONE will be 20X more powerful than it was 6 months ago.

Gamestop thrives on used game sales, which won't exist in a digital download age.
That's what the article is getting at. Not exactly misleading.
It isn't that big of a spin.
He shouldn't have said something so specific just to show that the new CEO has his "unconditional support". It was stupid of him to even bring up the possibility of selling off Xbox. That fact that it even came out of his mouth shows that it is something they are (or have) discussed.
Yes, that's all included. Not a deal really.
Abriael is correct.
Yes, hardware is the limit of the system. However, it takes software to utilize the hardware. If the software is inefficient, then the full power of the hardware cannot be utilized.
You have to use the software to use the hardware. If the software is limited, then so is the hardware. Making the software more efficient increases the utilization of the hardware.
Right now the PS4 and Xbone software isn't optimal and ...
Don't buy it.
They know how to run their business. When these remakes sell well, it proves you and other naysayers wrong.
It isn't much different than new games being made for both old and new gen? They are making it available to a larger group of people.
I don't get why people are so against this type of thing. Don't fucking buy it if you don't want. The clearly think this will help sell more games or consoles. It really isn't any different than releasing a game for all multiple platforms.
People who never owned a PS3, but got a PS4 can buy it. People who had a PS3 but never bought this game can buy it. People who absolutely loved it can buy it.
So stop moaning.

Sure Sony couldn't stop a random Spiderman game from going to other systems, however since this game is based on the movie by Sony... they may have some say in it.
Downloaded it day one. Haven't played it yet though.
Article is just speculating about firmware update. Sony didn't say that.

I have two DS3 controllers from a day one PS3 purchase. Batteries still work.
In the event they do die, you can replace them for $5.
Sure it will give them a sales spike. But don't use that as an excuse for why it is losing right now.
PS4 is selling as fast as it comes off the assembly line. The same cannot be said for One.
Think of it this way. Let's assume MS and Sony both produced 5 million consoles each (yes, I know that isn't the real number). If Sony is selling it in almost 4 times as many countries, that means they would have less to allocate to each country. It sho...
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. The whole background looks like a painting or something. Personally didn't even see it as an overall improvement.
The article is misleading as well.
There are 2 separate things it is referring to:
1) new trademark
2) new job posting about "unannounced" game
That doesn't mean they are both referring to the same thing.
Its multiplicative.
3x cloud
2x dx12
=
6x power
As quenomamen said, the secret GPU. Let's say that is another 1.5x.
9x total power
Also, when Kinect isn't mandatory and eating up resources, another 1.5x.
13.5x total power
Even the guy who made the original quote can't even make sense.
-- Wardell himself took to Twitter to clarify his statement of DX12 giving “every Xbox One owner a new GPU that is twice as fast as the old one”. “It’s not literally (it’s software, not hardware) but yes, dx12 games will likely by more than 2x as fast.” --
Basically someone called him out on the twice as fast and he says, well not literally.... but yes MORE THAN 2X
Just dumb ...
1080p footage of a 900p game huh....
