i can only say the real reason what makes X1 spec lower than PS4 are due to cut down console cost just because of the stupid new Kinect were plan to added as a mandatory in the first place, thanks to the rocket sales of the original Kinect that makes M$ think the new Kinect will be as attractive too which is the main mistake for X1 project, the new Kinect tech M$ trying to push is the main stupid X1 strategy to be blame...

It seems they are giving up. Compared to their recent PR responses this was weakest. I was expecting more aggressive comment.

Hard to be aggressive when a lot of sources basically say the same thing. They should just keep quiet about power, like they did with the 360. Even though it was weaker, the PS3 didn't just completely destroy it. Despite the bigger advantage for Sony this time, they should just pump out those games and let all else be.


Exactly.

If Microsoft thought the Kinect would profit on its own they would've sold it separately. They are taking zero risks with that peripheral.

I understand all that stuff about balanced hardware and blah. The thing is, I don't believe that Sonys Hardware isn't balanced. In fact, when it comes to Hardware, Sony proved time and time again that they can 1-up Microsoft pretty easily. After all, that is to be expected from one of the biggest hardware manufacturers on the planet.


...ehhh, the PS2 and 3 were absolutely horrible to program for, some would call them needlessly convoluted messes even

There are horror storries out there of developers having to wade through phone book sized japanese manuals to get their damn devkit working (in the early days of the PS2)

...and we all still remember how keen developers were on the Cell and the seperated memory pools of the PS3

That's mainly a software issue. Sonys Dev Tools weren't exactly great. While the hardware is a little exotic, it doesn't mean it's bad.

Your kidding right?

You think a walkman as superior to the Zune?  The walkman digital player was shit and the Zune outsold it by a mile.  Problem was they both sold like 1% of the ipod so it didn't matter.

Congratulating Sony on have a major system flaw that was a disaster and saying that it was better than an even more disasterous system flaw?????

Comparing the non selling sony tablets to M$ non selling tablets is a victory?

 

And to add to it, calling one controller better than another because you tested it on a PC and you THINK that it is better??

 

Are you for real???

Walkmen are well known for superior audio quality.

YLOD was pretty uncommon while the RROD was not. Rmemeber, I'm talking strictly about hardware here, not about software, not about sales.

Xperia Tablets already used superior processors when Microsofts Surface RT released with Tegra 3. Also, at the same price point, Xperia Tablets are water proof and they are thinner and lighter while still being faster.Remember, it's just about hardware. The Vaio Duo or Vaio Pro are lighter and thinner than the Surface Pro, yet they manage to hold an i7 processor, while the Surface Pro has only an i5.

Like I said, the DS3 is superior, strictly in hardware, in many levels. The sticks won't move at all if you hook them up with a PC, they are dead set on +/- 0. The Xbox 360 controller is hopping around between +/- 20 when not used. Nothing you aould notice, but still, as far as hardware goes, the DS3 is better. Like I said, the ergonomical factor is completely subjective.

This. Microsoft is full of shit.

This. Microsoft is full of shit. If MS didn't know their tech wasn't as good they wouldn't have been scrambling to catch up in power to Sony. Nice try to change the PR though.


They May be but don't worry it's still going to sell lol. I see a lot of posters that I swear I trying to get ppl to switch to their system of choice. Slick ways of saying bogus shit and all. Well it won't work ladies. This thing is going to sell a lot. 

Less power + $100 more + ? = More sales than PS4 how?  Kinect 2.0?  or is it Ryse or Forza?

WTF? Where did I write that? Where? & tell me is all your "power" going to stop anyone from enjoying their Xbox?

It's all about the games and Titanfall will be great. I'll be buying it for PC but if it's as good as the journos seem to think, it'll sell X1s by the boatload.
