So the problems or issues of 1 Dev means a console and/or gen is weak and/or doomed??? 

Seriously, people need to stop with the assumptions that because Dice 's product (not yet finished or released) isn't so hot right now that it means the something or anything about the Ps4. Killzone isn't having this issue! Drive Club isn't having this issue. And what we've seen of Infamous, a game 6+ months from release, isn't having this issue. Seems to be Dice, not Sony

Same can be said with Dead Rising 3 on Xbox One. How the Dice Ps4 BF4 story got so much "ZOMG the hardware isn't powerful" traction and this didn't is beyond me. So Capcom is having issues reach or locking 30 FPS for Dead Rising 3 and they are working with Microsoft and the power of teh cloud to reach that goal... So Xbox One hardware weak comfirmed?

Of course not. Forza seems to be doing just fine as far as I can tell. And I will not assume Capcoms problems mean anything about the Xbox One. 

depends on the developer and type of game.
GT5 almost did full 1080p and went upto 60fps on the PS3.
GT6 might do 4k =P

I see people being dissapointed, not confident etc. about the power of the next generation consoles and it most of the time is about the PS4. I wonder where Wii U fits in this conversation?

10 years? PC is already ahead like no tomorrow... You can spend $1000 and have a PC better than the Ps4... I think 6-7 years at best

You can spend $600 more and have a machine that is graphically more powerful? Are you sure?

Microsoft didn't say that. That's a misconception people have spread quite a lot.

Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi actually said:

"Every generation, as you've probably heard, has grown approximately 30 percent," Mehdi said. "So this generation is about 300 million units. Most industry experts think the next generation will get upwards of about 400 million units. That's if it's a game console, over the next decade."

"We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units," he added. 


He's talking about the whole console market, which includes Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and most likely all the others like Ouya and the likes. Not just the XBox brand.

He is talking about making the Xbox more than just a games console.  More like a DVD player or Bluray player, something that almost everyone has.

"Every generation, as you've probably heard, has grown approximately 30 percent," Mehdi said. "So this generation is about 300 million units. Most industry experts think the next generation will get upwards of about 400 million units. That's if it's a game console, over the next decade."

"We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400 million to potentially upwards of a billion units," he added. "That's how we're thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward."

He is talking about pushing the Xbox brand out beyond the limits of a game console to sell to a much larger group of people.  He doesn't say anything about Sony and Nintendo also becoming something more than a game console.  In fact, he would prefer that Sony and Nintendo would stay with "just a game console" so that they could dominate this theoretical untapped 600 million unit market.  But in the end, it is all just a bunch of marketing BS anyway.

The only real truth of this statement is that Microsoft does not view the Xbox One as a game console.  They view it as some sort of complete family room media hub that everyone should own regardless of whether or not they play games.

It is not really a "misconception" as Hynad said.  That particular statement is still saying that they want to sell 600+ million Xboxes.

I agree it has nothing to do with the length of the generation.

They are still taking about selling 8x as many of their units as last gen.  People pretty much got the point.  It is not 13x, but it is still a massive jump.
