There's no advantages to ESRAM, it's a fix to mitigate slow memory. The memory set up of the Xbox One lacks any dedicated fast video memory since it uses the system primary memory, this is only a slow DDR3 chip though which demands a buffer; hence ESRAM.
Conventional set up is system memory and video memory, the video memory should for modern engines and high resolutions be around 4GB today. Now contemplate the ESRAM size on Xbox One; 32 mb. It is very much a bottle ...
That fog gate really says otherwise. It's probably in the souls universe, looks mint though. Sony already won E3? lol
Cause the US is so well looked upon in china.. Please
That's applying western thinking to a universe where it does not exist. Neither console will do very well in China, PS4 might do a bit better due to price.
Human kind disagree
lol good luck with that
The Xbox One is at a huge disadvantage when it comes to GGPU tasks. Next to the RAM configuration of the XBO this is probably where the lack behind the most.
The Order 1886 is pretty much the best looking game I've seen ever, and I've been an exclusive PC gamer for 11 years.
You all have to realize that just because it's theoretically possible or even practically possible in some environments it doesn't mean it's practical nor feasible. What ever to be gained with cloud compute might not be economically feasible or as stated even practical to do. Who will pay for all these servers if a game demands it? Third party publishers? Nope.
Going to Mars have been theoretically possible and doable for quite some time, it haven't been done...
@baodeus
They're disagreeing with you because it's an obnoxious list, but I'll try answer all of it if I can be arsed (it's so long)

Gaikai works as such; A server makes ALL calculations, it then sends the picture to the user over the internet, it also receives input from the same user. This is kind of easy cause its no different then streaming a movie. The principle have been used within schools and businesses a lot, then called &...
Sillyness. Shareholders say "Why aren't Xbox selling as well as PS4?"
There are nearly 1 million Xbox Ones sitting on shelves.
Of course that is the case, not being very well versed in how all that works though it kinda surprises me how all these games always have been available in Europe but not NA.
Based on what?.. Seriously
Because it's not feasible to do today, it's essentially bullshit.
That has nothing to do with what MS is claiming. Jeez, why is it so hard for you people to understand this. Synchronous computations locally with a server is; VERY UNFEASIBLE TO DO. It is nothing like streaming, and making or breaking a game depending on internet connection or for that matter distance to a server IS TO ALIENATING.
Cloud is just a buzzword for 'servers'. This is not about opinion, it's objective frickin facts. Stop spreading bullshit when streaming...
Wow scary, MS marketing is working. The cloud is bullshit just so you know LightDiego.
@KNWS
Spewing effin bull you are, you have no idea. I'm starting to get annoyed by xbots wilful ignorance.
Pretty much this!
Playstation is such a stronger brand then Xbox amongst gamers. And it's not like the PS3 was a bad product, people did want it; the price was just too high.
I see a real problem with the biggest gaming outlets being strictly American, they tend not to acknowledge the rest of the world. Which is kinda crazy, Europe is a bigger market than the US now. Vita being a prime example, it got abysmal selling performance in the US but fare much b...
@Unspoken
February was only 4 weeks and March was 5 weeks. Week by week sales March decreased in sales. GribbleGrunger above makes the case pretty clear :P
I don't need to be a developer to understand how computers function you know. If you understood how computers did work you wouldn't say something outlandish like that. So why don't you educate yourself? I majored in computer science so I know more than you obviously, though I wouldn't had to cause I knew this 10 years ago as well and then I had no formal education in the subject. Understand that the ESRAM is a cost effective solution. It's not optimal. And was certainly no...
