When looking at the system on its own at the moment, I do not see why zealots need to attack it. If it is not for you, then don't get it.
However, sprouting nonsense like 50% weaker, DRM, Kinect 2.0, NSA, etc..... is not only tired, it is incorrect.
People are crying like MS tried to steal their first born. They did not. They tried to usher a new business model, and it failed miserably. Now it is back to business as usual, but certain folk want to eve...
I would too. At some point we need to take a stand. I don't give too sh!ts if other companies do the same practice, Sony should be ashamed. As should ANYONE using Foxxcon.
People like what they like.
I like my videogames to be interactive. Apparently some do not. That is cool. But I remember all of those Sega CD games getting roasted because they lacked interactivity....
As with the PS4, all of these X1 launch titles will not take advantage of the hardware. What we are getting are glossed up X360/PS3 ports because devs have not unlocked the capabilities yet.
I would worry if the 2nd and 3rd wave of games do not take advantage of Kinect 2.0 where appropriate.
Now all Sony needs is the US government to stop PS4 sales to China because it could be used to control nukiller weapons....
The PS4 is a supercomputer! And just imagine if they had no such issue with the X1.....
I jest....
@UltimateMaster: We get it, you like Sony and do not link MS.
But Nick309 is right on is calling this PR speak and stating that BOTH machines will be enjoyable.
Telling him to read the article is laughable especially after the drivel that you posted.
At what point do we take a step back and realize that this is marketing?
Next up, the Polygon Man is criticized.....
At this point, I am tired of what anyone has been saying. I want these fine systems to be released and to play some games.
Balance, Cerny, CU cores, TFLOPS, I simply do not care at this point.
Is one more powerful than the other? Odds say yes and good for them.
Now, let us play Forza 5, Drive Club, Second Son, TitanFall...
That is why you are not JT Kirk.
Kirk is banging all sorts of hunees in his private quarters....
I am joking man Outlaw Jose Wales.
I am planning on rolling out the next generation of Internet from Sci-Fi. It is called the Astra-Web. The technology is proven. Computers will connect to the Astral Plane in order to communicate. Zero lag time or latency.
Please make your checks payable to Dr. Strange.
You are right: As great as the PS4 is, some are making it sound as if it has NO weaknesses compared to the X1. Heck, I am getting X1 for Forza, Gears, Titanfall, Halo, Alan Wake, Crackdown etc.... And this is not me saying a bad thing about the PS4.
@ Ame_No_Shiryuu: The problem with that is that Sony should have done better. They have so many bullets in the chamber that they should have at least fired 2 off for the launch window.
I wish X360 or the X1 had Journey.... It is all good.
So you mean to tell me that redemption is impossible in your universe?
Copying Sony? Really? So if they adopt a solid policy it is copying....
And if they keep the Kinect 2.0 it is lack of consumer choice....
I hear the secrets that you keep.... when your talking in your sleep....
Ah the 80's and gaming with the ZX Spectrum and C64....
I wear my sunglasses at night...
It is important because this is a core functionality of all X-1s. I feel like giving it a chance. I know that it unpopular, but hey...
Spy Box? Really? Come on now.... How does X1 communicate to the NSA without being connected to the net? The Astral Plane perhaps? How much is Doc Strange charge for the Astral Web?
Just DL the patch on the Xbox website, load it up on a USB and voila. Problem solved. You can update the 360 console right now like that....
@NEWMONDAY, Seriously?
What you think the words mean, and the actual meaning of these words are two massively different things I am afraid.
Yes, the PS4 is great and powerful. Greatness Awaits. Wonderful.
But please stop with trying to make this a console war issue...
