It's one way to generate hype. If it extends beyond a few thousand units, then it will enter suspicious territory.
The basics of this are simple though. Let word spread about free units being given then for users not excited about buying xb1, an interest builds about maybe getting a free one. The hope being that that eventually "teaches them" they care about the brand and leads to sales.
Woah, I didn't realize it was that bad. Yikes!

Ubisoft's Sylvain Trottier:
"And to be really honest, Sony fixed all the issues that could have been there on the console and right now I think it's up to us; like we have a perfect jewel in our hand. It's up to us to push the bar and make it shine."
IW is the cause of all the issues found on all the platforms they are found on. However the reason for 720 on Xb1 is lack of power but the reason for framerate drop...
It's just that people are speculating. You yourself are speculating, in predicting things will improve beyond cross generational titles.
What stands out for most, is just simply the power gap. Sure games will probably perform better when they don't spend time on older console versions, but it's also safe to assume the performance gap between consoles will carry over too. So if xb1 suddenly starts hitting improved resolutions, you can bet ps4 will have enough left...
Ouya has a super bright future!..said no sane person, ever.
Found the article:

Skimming it, I think the better-than-xb1 part was just assumptiom based on all the other leaks regarding performance. Still, this shows you one of the sources of the idea that the PS4 might be the definitive version.
Actually, this is simple. This is based on a hands on article posted here several weeks ago where it was stated that while the Xbox one version looked good, the PS4 build currently looked better than even the PC version (for some reason). The gist of the hands on was that this game was PS4>PC>XB1. Most of the speculation you're seeing in comments is based (right or wrong) on this one particular hands on article.
Doesn't look great, but not blaming xb1 this time, it's partly a genre thing given the large amount of models expected on-screen. Also, it's rumoured to have been a last gen title, that got converted, rather than built from the ground up.
SUCH a cool idea! Love this. This is mobile integration done right.
Not sure if it's just the video, and admittedly it's a small thing but the fireworks look comparatively anemic on the next gen version. Makes me think that along with the res bump, the effects become too tightened. This would be super easy to fix but yeah, this lends itself to the idea that this game was majorly rushed .
The thing which people aren't getting is that IW showed a willingness to drop the resolution to 720, by the very fact that they did in the xb1 version. So the framerate drops are either bugs or considered acceptible compromises by IW. That said, keep in mind that the nature of the hardware is differentiated largely by it's raw power this gen. Meaning that compromises seen at 1080 on one system may be seen at 720 on another. It would have been easy for them to run it at 900p on ps4 to ...
I love how devs pretend they can't tell the difference. They do this for a living.
Yeah, is he running for office as mayor of Videogame Town or giving an interview?
The only thing more repetitive than Call of Duty is people complaining how repetitive Call of Duty is. Enough already. Don't like it? Don't play it. Why is this such a hard concept for some people?
The console comes with the cable, guy. Relax. How many cables do people need? Spend 10 bucks if you need another one.
Yeah, exactly. How is this news? DS3 never came with a cable.
You're nuts! Me and my Dreamcast have been clubbing together for almost 15 years. He so crazy!
Yeah but sometimes xbox fans act like we're attacking them when we're actually defending them. I don't want anyone to get ripped off, especially families without a lot of money and young people. My protestations about xb1 performance aren't a "Ha! I told you so!" At gamers...I love gamers. Rather, I feel angry for these people for being mistreated for their loyalty.
Actually as annoying as MS can be I don't even want them to fail. The gaming ind...
JimmyLmao beat me to it..and he's right. I can't believe how many disagree votes he has. 1080 is 125% more pixels than 1080.
Thanks for the link. Though I too saw a difference but but not a improvement on my phone, your link made the comparison easier in landscape. Night and day. New build = better.
