MS supporters should collaborate on a Smashing Pumpkins cover: "The World Is A PS Fanboy"

The world is a fanboy
Sent to drain
Support for MS
Hold their feet to the flames
And what do we get?
A hundred disagree-hees
And a handful
Of ported 360 games

Hey, at least they've dialed back all that "Cloud makes the One X-times more powerful" and "Kinect is the future" noise.

Since you're apparently copy/pasting this into PMs, I'll copy paste my responses:

Ahahahaha.... Xbone can do 4k gaming, huh? At what... 5fps? Sony's not trying to pull any BS like that. They're not "supporting" 4k gaming because they know that the framerate would be absolute garbage, so they're not trying to mislead anyone into expecting a 4k game. ("supporting" is very different from "capability"... I don't think the PS4 ...

You need to heatgun/reflow the chips. Just putting on new paste won't do anything.

"The article is full of lies and im calling the author out on it."

Just saying "Lies!" is not calling anyone out. You need to point to specific incorrect statements in the article, with specific factual refutation (so copy/pasting Penello's vagaries doesn't really count).

Good luck with that.

"Is this not super clear, concise, and very informative for people to understand."

Yes, it is. What's unfortunate is that the implied premise is a dirty, dirty lie.

"We designed the Xbox One to be your Xbox One..."

Let's not kid ourselves with semantics and word games... This is a flat out dirty lie. We all how that the current policies they've spun themselves into are far from what they intended when "[th...

Should we start a list of Xbone features that have been hyped and have an implementation date TBD?

Microsoft exec defends Xbox One from accusations it’s “underpowered”
http://arstechnica.com/gami...

Penello: "18 CUs [compute units] vs. 12 CUs =/= 50% more performance. Multi-core processors have inherent inefficiency with more CUs, so it's simply incorrect to say 50% more GPU."

Ars: &...

I don't like the Xbone, I certainly don't "worry" about the Xbone, and I "concentrate" on the PS4 by reading the articles that are posted about it.

But console wars/fanboy wars are damn entertaining. And who doesn't stop and gawk at a train wreck?

The parts may cost $100+, but the peripheral's "worth" is determined by the customer.

"Three key advantages, we’ve got the most powerful console on the market, $100 cheaper than our competition and, most importantly, the biggest most diverse exclusive lineup of any platform ever launched"

Ah HA! This proves it! Tretton is a flat-out liar! Sony is super shady!

The PS4 is NOT "on the market!"

;-) ;-P

This is what's known as an "argument from authority" fallacy.

I don't need to be a chemical engineer to know that water is wet.

All people are saying is that *based on the technical information available,* the PS4 is more powerful.

To quote a lying war criminal:
"There are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do no...

I know... right? MS's less powerful box and trainwreck PR sure does leave me feeling insecure.

If you're going to copy/paste Penello's NeoGAF BS, it's only fair to direct people to the place they can see it torn apart: http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

I'll summarize:

Driveclub "PS+ version" and Resogun will be included with PS+ at launch for the PS4, not sure if there's more. It will definitely be interesting to see what kind of PS4 content they include "free" with PS+ going foward, since there won't be a back catalog to farm over. More indies I assume.

I'm not getting rid of my PS3s any time soon, and it'll also be interesting to see if they can keep up with their current high-quality PS+ freebies for ...

Not much of comparison since MS forces you to buy Gold to play online with the 360.

Enjoying your free ACII? It's a good game. At least I thought so when I borrowed it, beat it, and returned it three years ago. But yeah, it's a good game. Right up there with BF3, Vanquish, XCOM, Deus Ex, Saints Row 3, Sleeping Dogs, Infamous 2, LBP 2, SFIV, Bioshock 2, Spec Ops The Line, Far Cry 2... you got all those included with your Gold sub, right?

Huh... all the accounts on my PS3 can use the free PS+ games from my master account.

XB1 games aren't struggling? Is that why Ryse dips to 20fps multiple times, and even 18fps at one point?

(yes, I know it's an older build, but it's what's been analyzed at the moment)
