Dang come_bom, did you have to put deadfrag in his place like that?
Actually you don't, just like we didn't know the first one was an all out exclusive to Xbox One.
Deals are discussed behind doors, just like how Gears of War never went to Playstation. Nobody thought EA would do an exclusive deal, being a third party publishing platform focusing on delivering games on as many platforms as possible. Yet, here we are with an all out exclusive Xbox One game!
Right now, Titanfalls 2 (as in the sequel to the non-existing f...
@dedi
except when the official numbers are out from both MS and Sony are released, they are on par.
what sizeable margin are you talking about?
surely it cannot be that 5% difference of 100k on over 2 million sold fpr each console manufacturer?
according to your link the ps4 should have sold 2-3 times as much, putting ps4 at least 4 million!
that is a sizeable margin!!!
yet sales numbers are so close between the two consoles.
heck, nobody questions the amazon report that says 3 to 1 favor on ps4 which is based on less than 1000 stock unit. wow!
at least this is a third party research firm and not neogaf forum!!!
i have been spending more and more time at reddit where better news are coming in.
n4g has for a long time been sony fangirl heaven. just take a look at the forum sizes and type of news approved,to get the idea.
it has just gotten worse and worse.
Reminds me of when PSN got hacked and all I got was a measly one month PS+ membership that Sony screwed up on the date for the downloads and that required a continued PS+ membership to play.
I did get to select a free game I think.
Same thing with Target, and next year it will be all forgotten. Credit card companies take the hit and hopefully nobody is able to steal our identity!

@unrel:
Titanfalls is likely one of the few console movers next year. Watch the console sales increase, similar to how Metal Gear Solid 4 lifted sales of PS3.
@shin:
"The DIFFERENCE is that this is something that has been proven to work before."
You neglect to include that streaming games has resulted in two businesses that has essentially failed, OnLive and Gakai.
If you think the difference between 1080p and 720p is significant, what do you think will happen when that same game has heavy compression artifacts, inconsistent input and laggy experience?

How is the Xbox One less efficient?
If anything, the Xbox One is more efficient in all the tests. This means Xbox One does everything the PS4 does with less power. The difference can be as high as 33% (refer chart, game play).
The only exception is in stand-by mode, which the Xbox One is using more power to fuel Kinect Voice recognition. Something the PS4 does not do, hence the higher power draw.
Efficiency will improve, but I doubt it will h...
What efficiency?
Both the PS4 and Xbox One uses far more power than it should. The Xbox One uses the same amount of power as an average laptop just to stream Netflix movies, while the PS4 is approaching desktop power draw for the same.
Heck, even the simple task of playing a blu-ray movie the power draw is significant.
Now I understand why there is more power draw, but surprised at how much more despite more things the console can do while p...
This is to protect Xbox One users from receiving sloppy seconds.
I can understand those that already released a game on a different platform, but let's face it, they can always add a little content and the problem is resolved.
What is there to complain about?
The vast majority of console gamers themselves don't care. Heck, they don't care about indie games in general.
all i have to say is blowfish!
no matter how good, glad i didn't buy braid.
Things improve, it still doesn't mean IE is bad. It was the best until Firefox came, and now Firefox is a slow mess and Chrome is the better option.
It is called advancement, and IE hasn't competed in ages.
I wonder how fixes configuration bugs and issues with Linux.
Manually edit conf files with nano? Try out a few command lines?
Linux has come a long long way, and even with Valve it probably still needs a lot of work. It isn't a system built for user friendliness, but a system hacked togheter to make it easy for developers to do things quickly. Once you dive below the pretty UI, it is an ugly mess.
I look forward to trying SteamOS and have...
If CoD and Fifa are his games, the Xbox One is indeed the best choice.
First to get DLC on CoD and exclusive DLC on Fifa, combined with EAs newfound friendliness towards Xbox. CoD especially tend to be more popular on Xbox anyhow with dedicated servers instead of a pseudo p2p listen server that is on PS4.
Actually, quoting another news site story is considered fair use as well as images n4g displays on the website even if it is just a small paragraph.
Remember the whole article is copyrighted.
So no, what n4g is doing is "fair use".
So what amazon.com is really saying is that even a used Xbox One is worth more than a new PS4!
Priceless!!!
I think a backwards compatible in hardware Xbox One in the future might be possible. Heck, maybe even the original Xbox compatibility.
That would truly be an all in one box.
For now, that is prohibitively costly for both MS and Sony. If you want Xbox One features, while gaming on Xbox 360, just hook your Xbox 360 into your Xbox One.
Voila, problem solved!!!
Quantum Break looks to be fantastic, and I'm very curious about Sunset Overdrive.
Cannot wait!
