If any company goes under, wouldn't it be the one in financial trouble? How many times do people have to realize that there is more to the One than the current specs? They wanted a machine to be built for the future and to grow with you over time. Nintendo tried that with the N64 ram pack and all it did was divide the market. Reason why it is 100 more is that you wont have to buy another console 3 years down the line the sony executives said about ps4. I don't care how advance th...
Why does everyone think that Kinect is the reason? It is not. You have more hardware to be unlocked later and that is the reason why.
Remember, Xbox one will get better tech. Its already there, just waiting to be unlocked. That's the reason why you won't have a divided market ala n64 and the price is more. Risky on the short term but awesome in the long run. Problem is that they won't have a price cut anytime soon. Good thing is that you won't have to buy another console, controller and have a healthy selection of games that will run better for the next generation.
I swore I would never comment on here just based solely on the rampant opinions but as an Xbox One employee, I can tell you that the Xbox has more inside it. There will be future updates that enable more of the machine. That way you don't split the market. Most console makers lose money on the first couple years anyway. Imagine if all you could hold on to your system, games and controllers and they would still be relevant when the new update comes out? Take a look at the controller. ...
I like how everyone thinks that n4g dictates what happens in the real world. True I work for Microsoft. The system is designed to be on for 10 years. Not only supported but physically on for 10 years. Try doing that with another gaming console. Half of the one is ventilation. Future hardware revisions will make it smaller.
Just cause you have better specs doesn't mean your machine is faster. How come the new iPhone 5s with 1 GB ram and dual core processor beat out a quad core and 2 GB ram on the s4?
You really think that popular mechanics really care what a few Sony fans think on an obscure website? Probably not. Same with Microsoft in that manner. I think the rest of the real world population will judge with their wallets. Problem is that the hard core gamer is shrinking. The casual gamer has more populace.

Finally someone who knows computer specs and not just talking out there butts! You rock! Bubbles!
So MS trying to make more money for the developers is a bad thing? How greedy and self-righteous must one think?
Really? I call bs!

Laptop specs people. Mobile components. Of course it uses less wattage than desktop counterparts.
Keep saying that when all you have left are the big publishers and you have no variety in games as all the smaller studios have gone bankrupt. So what happens to your precious gaming then? Oh and sony respects the gamer? Are you freaking kidding? Go get another job to help us pay for the ridiculous r&d for ps3. Sure sony was thinking about you on that 600 price tag... so lame, I'm going to delete my n4g account. Same old bs. Condemn this site. No take backs.
Kind of like the whole debate on NVidia vs ati video cards...
Radeon always had more shader cores than NVidia but real world performance was similar. Just because you have 2048 shader cores running at 800 MHz doesn't mean you're faster than someone who has 1024 cuda cores at 1.6 ghz. Then you have bottlenecks.

Just curious though, why all the hate? I know this is n4g but really after all this time and still all this hate? I guess it is easy to hate on the big dog, talking company wise with billions in cash reserve and triple a credit rating. I thought that would be a good thing as a company is less likely to axe features and will support their products better and longer. We all know why the original Xbox was dropped as it was too costly to make the NVidia graphics and the Xbox 360 is being supp...

You fail to realize the 32 Mb embedded esram and ddr3 is more versatile than gddr5 which is graphics memory. Besides we don't even have official specs yet.
Fact. The internals in Xbox one has NOT been confirmed. It is using an amd 8 core cpu, NOT a jaguar laptop cpu that's confirmed in ps4.
Fact. Amd which makes chips for both consoles stated that the next Xbox will have avatar like graphics. Never said that for the next PlayStation.
Fact. All companies lie. How about sony's list:
Dual hdmi in sp3
Gigabit 3 Ethernet router capabilities in sp3

I like how people think laptop specs are superior. Not that I like the Xbox One either but developers will make more games for Xbox One because of drm. When people say that developers had a say in nexgen consoles, they had a say in Xbox One as well. More money for developers. Also people spend 600 on an ipad so anything can go. From the two conferences, MS showed way more exclusives and sony lost two big ones, Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF15.
So the 1.6 GHz amd mobile CPU and 7970 mobile video card is Nexgen? Are you serious? Wow!
I can get 550 watt psu, case and mobo for under 100. You don't need a 780. That would murder Nexgen consoles. Has more performance then the whole console system in just the video card.
