@jimbobbers:
Its all in good humour. Thats what we gamers do. We brag about our games being better than yours. Our networks better than yours, our exclusives are better than yours, etc.
It's about bragging rights and Sony have just claimed the bragging rights!
Now we know why they didn't name the new console XBox 720!!
In 2-3 years the tools will be there to get the XB1 as close to where the PS4 is now as possible. By that time the PS4 tools will be even more advanced.
The PS4 has the raw power. It will always be ahead in terms of graphics. Lets get used to this right away and move on.
Now we know, we can focus on the most important thing - the GAMES!
Kids care, adults care, we all care!
Remember as kids we always boasted about the fastest this, the best that and this carries on through life. My smartphone is better than yours...
Last time it was a very small margin with PS3 taking a good few years to master the SPUs. This time around it is very clear and it will matter to a lot of kids. Who wants to have the second best console at Christmas?
Games will be awesome on either and we can only...
Microsoft better get used to this. Every game from now on for XB1 will be scrutinised for real resolutions. And quite right too.
If the shoe was on the other foot then every PS4 game would be inspected. This is gonna run.. and run... and run....
If PS4 is that easy to develop for and they were getting better graphics then MS would be wise to pull the rug this time. Gotta protect your investments..
After the PS4 reveal in feb I was sure MS would come out with something amazing. The first few minutes in I got excited about the "Turn on this.." voice stuff but it went downhill from there.
But there is a silver lining for all die hard Microsoft fans. If they actually stick to their word and follow Sony's lead with pushing and supporting their studios this time around, instead of closing them all and splashing out on exclusive deals, we may see some amazing ga...
You say scary, I say woooaaaahhhhhh - cannot wait!
Would that be dual-core PCs with basic GPUs or are you talking expensive setups? But I get your point..
Remember the XB1 also has a less powerful GPU compared to PS4. So we should not expect games to be of the exact same quality, graphics wise.
There is more of a difference this time compared to PS3/360. Microsoft will make millions from Kinnect 2 and casual audience once their advertising kicks in. That is where the XB1 strength lies.
In time XB1 may prove an awesome kit, just not the best for pure gaming.
Better to put great textures and effects into 720p than compromise just for the sake of 1080p. So the developers have done the best thing here.
A great smooth running game is what we all want. All this story does is prove what we all have really known for months.
Microsoft have built an amazing upscaler - and now we know why. They also want to upscale movies for 4K output and have included a 4k-compatible HDMI lead (smart move btw).
Games will look brighter than PS4 games because PS4 will have more depth and realistic textures. XB1 will have to brighten things up to disguise the disparity.
Both systems will be amazing compared to last gen. It is just a surprise that PS4 is now confirmed as the most powerful. It will t...
He praises the game to the hilt, says how amazing it looks, mentions how many hours of fun he has had and talks like it is a 9.8, but then gives it a 8.5.
Gotta love the IGN scoring system...
I got mad at COD MW2 because I beat the SP in 5 and a half hours on easy - and I am crap at fps games! The story was so lame.
It seems this may be even worse. It is a shame because DICE seem like great developers with bags of talent. Getting Killzone SF anyway but would of looked at BF4 - not now.
And Killzone MP will have free additional maps.
This puts COD Ghosts back in the running, I guess...
I hope they fix it soon - for all great XB1 gamers sakes. No one deserves this.
Guess rushing things will create problems on both sides. Great gaming awaits us all next gen once all these problems are ironed out.
2 points to make here:
1) It does not matter at all as long as the game is great, the controls are easy to handle and the developer has done the best job possible on that platform to make the game run smooth.
2) Let's all admit we were wrong about developers cowering to MS this time around with multi-platform games. It seems like they are making the most of the PS4 and the most of XB1. This is how it should of been all along. Well done developers!

Don't hold back - tell us what you really think!!!
He has a face only a mother could like..
Back on topic:
# PS4 will have problems at launch and first 6 months.
# XB1 will have more problems at launch and next 6 months.
# XB1 was rushed out and was due for 2014 release originally.
# Games will look way better on XB1/PS4 than 360/PS3.
# PS4 is stronger graphically.
The list could go on and on but lets hope we all have a great time with our next gen consoles thi...
Do not see what the fuss is all about. 720p with all bells & whistles running buttery smooth is better than 1080p for the sake of it with graphical compromises.
MS have already stated that 900p native with upscaling to 1080p would be the max/norm for xb1.
Am getting PS4 but I honestly could not tell you what resolution or fps my fave games on the PS3 were. I did not care. A game that plays great and looks amazing is enough.
As long as dev...
Sorry to all you guys above me in this thread but I have never heard such nonsense in my life.
The 80-100 MBps for read speeds is very fast for a 2.5 5,400 drive. Very fast!
I have tested over 20 sata 2.5 drives and even 3.5 HDDs and the average speed of the good laptop drives is 60-65 MBps. Most older drives have average read speeds of 35-40 MBps.
I have tested PS3 drives, new laptop 7,200 drives and more. So please, before quoting theoretic...
Of course it matters!
For the past 7 or so years it has mattered to 360 owners that multi-platform games looked very slightly better than on PS3. It mattered to PS3 owners that exclusives wiped the floor with 360 games in terms of graphics (in their opinion).
It mattered to developers that the 360 was easier to develop for (not better, just easier). It mattered to the pro-360 gaming sites (IGN, Eurogamer, to name but 2) that would use any statistic to try and...
