**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

Stop self jerking over yourselves about "raw power" its means little to nothing in the close details in the real world, and CERTAINLY did NOTHING to help the PS3.

Has this place gone full retard overnight or something?

It does seem to have got worse since last night

What a horrendous piece of garbage that thing is.

Tv... Tv... Tv... Tv... Tv.... Sports...Sports...Sports... Tv.... Tv...

No headset bundled, have to use that kinect thing? Not happening in my house. I'm not risking any chance my little boy will hear that filth being shouted out from Xbox Live and in the evening I certainly don't want that rabble beaming out of my speakers.

Apparent the system is lower powered than the PS4 techwise, but that will be reflected in the price.

3GB OS overhead? Really MS?

If you are purely about the games, the rest of that garbage becomes irrelevant. I do not care for Kinect in the slightest.

Use to love my 360, spent the most time on it.

PS4 pre-order seems wise now.

You do know that the new controller has a digital connector at the bottom for peripherals (like a new digital headset) which will be shown later in the year

They are not identicle. PS4 hardware is more powerful. Please reas up:

or if you can't be bothered, here's a quote for you.

Can't you read? I quite clearly wrote "virtually" identical.

They share 95% of the same parts.

The only difference is the RAM and the GPU shaders.

 

[pioneer2000]

but you are agreeing with me

How on earth am I agreeing with you?

 

[Five.Stars]

But it makes using your TV all that less challenging! :rollseyes:

 

[CliffyG]

Well as much as I am leaning towards the PS4 I have pre-ordered both as I can see myself changing my mind a few times as it gets closer. May even end up with both.

 

[TheVoice]

I'm stunned that people are basing their pre-order decisions (pre-ordering this early? Really?!) on best-guess information from gaming journalists who realistically, don't know anything about the core system architecture aside from the limited numbers they've already been given.

The proof will be in the games, and even then, they're both going to be a massive improvement over what our current consoles are struggling to put out.

you just said it was called the ONE because it was an all in one device

 

[pioneer2000]

Yes..... ??

As in it does EVERYTHING. Including games. To no lesser extent than something that JUST does games.

 

[glenimp617]

Hope MS release a proper steering wheel for this

well we are in agreement then aren't we

I think you have the wrong impression of what Kinect is.

 

[GravyMonster]

My plan is to get both and then sell the one I don't get on with before Christmas. May even make a profit

 

[grimm]

Tell me exactly how you think they are moving away from targetting 'hardcore' (whatever that means) gamers.

Emphasis on things like Kinect 2, whatever that rubbish was about being partnered with NFL, the TV aspects. Things that real gamers don't care about.

Lack of emphasis on things that gamers want such as backwards compatibility, being able to trade in/rent/buy used games.

The hardware itself seems poor, unimpressive GPU, only 500gb hard drive etc.

I could go on and I have probably missed some important points, but I have work to be getting on with

Stop self jerking over yourselves about "raw power" its means little to nothing in the close details in the real world, and CERTAINLY did NOTHING to help the PS3.

The power of the PS3 helped it have some great games when utilised properly. But that was also the problem, their system was difficult to develop multi-platform developers never made use of it really.

Sony listened and have corrected that this time, so based on a more generic architecture more power will or at least could be an advantage.

 

[XeNoN89]

Can't you read? I quite clearly wrote "virtually" identical.

They share 95% of the same parts.

The only difference is the RAM and the GPU shaders.

So they are virtually the same, except for the two parts which matter to games the most, both of which PS4 has a massive advantage in. OK

 

[glenimp617]

so far the best thing about the XBOX ONE is this thread lol

 

[StevieP]

Not that it matters much to most of us but what an ugly lump of plastic that thing is!

 

[McManicMan]

So now we have a console by MS with no bundled headset and the PS4 will?.
