The XB1 can only handle a game like Titanfall at a last gen 792p that is running a old Source graphics engine.
The PS4 is running Metal Gear at 1080p, while the XB1 can only handle 720p. That is 2.25x the resolution.
Forza had to suffer massive downgrades from the pre-release BS bullshots/footage just to get the game to run at 1080p 60fps.
The Xbox 360 at least was 200 dollars cheaper than the much more powerful PS3. And it had the luxury of ...
Time isn't really the issue with the XB1.
The XB1 is rapidly getting left behind in installed base by the PS4. The PS4 is selling about 1 million a month right now while the XB1 is selling only about 170-180k a month. The PS4 is very close to doubling the XB1's worldwide installed base.

The XB1's graphics are so bad that there are constant speculations about magical SDK updates that will make the XB1 miraculously put out PS...
The XB1 is selling at 170-180k a month worldwide right now. The XB1 isn't getting close to Wii U installed base numbers for a very long time. And obviously it never will with the Wii U outselling it and widening the installed base gap.
The Wii U is outselling the XB1 in worldwide sales. And the XB1's 3.3 million or so installed base is going to have trouble reaching 5 million sold by the end of 2014 - let alone reach the Wii U's installed base numbers anytime soon.
The Wii U is due for a price cut and the major Nintendo franchises are finally starting to arrive on the system. 200-250 dollar Wii U along with 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, and a new Zelda will fly off the shelves. Not PS4 level sales bu...
Did Uncharted 2 run at 1080p compared to the first Uncharted's 720p?
No. Of course not.
If Microsoft had this 'magic SDK update' they would be showing off amazing improves in Forza over the massively downgraded game they released or they would be letting the Titanfall devs have early access to it and showing off how the game no longer is stuck rendering at a last gen 792p resolution.
These stories and desperately hopeful posts abo...
If the XB1 hardware was capable of anything more than what we've seen in real world games Microsoft would have shown it off long ago.
People clinging to the 'magic SDK update' are just setting themselves up for disappointment.
This is just another SDK update for the XB1. No different than any other SDK update that consoles always get through their lifetimes. Microsoft would have had this latest XB1 SDK version running on their own internal develop...

The PS3 outsold the 200 dollar cheaper Xbox 360 in the very first year on the market.
I have no idea what point you were trying to make. Or what relevance that has to the PS4 absolutely destorying the 100 dollar more expensive XB1 in sales.
Exactly. That was a bizarre thing to try to claim. Microsoft is slashing prices and giving away free games just to try to get the massive number of unsold XB1s off store shelves.
It is absolutely bizarre to still see this delusional.
The PS3 utterly dominated the 360 in graphics. That is why Xbox fans so desperately switched to the "teh multiplats!!!' damage control. Xbox fans were so desperate over the graphic beating the PS3 was dishing out to the 360 that sites like GameTrailers, Lens of Truth, Digital Foundry were:

As most people already know, vgchartz was started by an Xbox fan, ioi, from neogaf who got permanently banned for making up ridiculously fake Xbox sales numbers. Say what you will about neogaf, but the site has people with access to real console hardware and software sales data. After he got banned from neogaf he made his fake sales site vgchartz. Every week he sits home making up Xbox hardware and software sales numbers that he thinks are large as he thinks he can get away with. And he does,...
Because the Xbox fan who runs vgchartz made them up that way.
It really is a bizarre thing to try to claim. The game runs on dedicated servers. Big deal. This is something that every major first party Sony game had standard with the PS3. Something that is standard on PCs.
Can't wait for future articles from this author:
"How to play ET on your 2600 with your Xbox One controller"
"How to play Duke Nukem Forever with your feet"

"Those who still don't understand, feel free to ask me about it and I can try to break it down further."
LOL!!!!
Nothing but respect to Guerrilla Games. Making fools out of PC and Xbox fans for two straight generations.
Maybe the Titanfall devs will learn how to do MP properly from Guerrilla Games and try to get something better than their unstable framerate at 792p.
A full 1080p frame - end of story. 1080p native Time to move on. When something like this backfires so badly it is time to throw in the towel and move on to the next article that attempts to trash the PS4. Right now any further talk is just reinforcing that Killzone MP is native 1080p, GG is an amazing developer, and the PS4 hardware really is as powerful as people hope(and fear) it is.
Infamous is obviously new/next gen on the PS4 and would not be possible on previous gen consoles.
Titanfall on the Xbox One is a downgraded version of a PC game and it runs just as well on an Xbox 360 as an Xbox One. The Xbox One version has a slightly higher resolution than the 360 but doesn't have a stable framerate. In what possible way is Titanfall new/next gen?
It really is shocking to see just how poorly the Xbox One is selling. Only 140k in January in the US. Only about 40k a month in Europe. 0k in Japan. The Xbox One could double its worldwide sales and it would still be getting absolutely destroyed by the PS4.
Haven't heard of this until now.
Yes, the XB1 doesn't have any chance of beating the PS4 in sales. The PS4 is outselling the XB1 by some 800k consoles each month now. And the PS4's installed base is close to double the XB1's already. And all this when the PS4 is out of stock almost everywhere with new stock selling out almost immediately.
Right now the Wii U is outselling the XB1 in worldwide sales. And that is with Microsoft frantically throwing everything they have at retailers to move all thos...
