You like EA Acess... then you would like PS+.

If it were only about the power & higher resolution you'd have a point, but it's not.

It's not really up to PS4 to prove it's better or justify it's power, because it already has.   It's up to XB1 to differentiate itself; to show that despite lower specs and otherwise samey console, it deserves consideration.

So basically, what you're saying is that there's allegedly a possible likely irony maybe.


Ok.

exclusives are the reason anyone chooses their system. Xbox is doing great in that department so far. We have to see how sunset reviews and halo mcc, but so far this year titanfall and horizon 2 both scored 86 meta. Both new titles that are great games. Gold has changed and is now giving massive discounts and free games and the console has regular updates including having 3d bluray playability before Sony.

my point is this power bs, is only relevant as a forum 1up over the opposing fanboys. Sad when the same people loved their ps2 with as I said was the weakest console.

For me I prefer xbox as I prefer xbox exclusives. The ps2 had all of 3rd party exclusives that I liked. Only really god of war from sony did I really like as their first party on ps2. And gran turismo. Other than that I don't rate sonys first party as high as others do.

I don't name people. That's not fair. But there has been plenty of people that go on about the ps2 being best console etc, and are this gen saying power is everything. Xbox sucks. Yet they didn't love their ps2 because it was the most powerful. There is huge irony in that regard all over the internet.

most importantly the point in making is

a, the power debate is internet point scoring

b, people choose the systems that has the games they want in the real world.

That's a nice theory. But as I said earlier, that's simply not true. The internet didn't exist back in the 16bits era. And the same discussions and debates happened.

In the real world, people love eye candy. It was like that even before the internet. 

Now, why don't you start talking about the "irony" about those who boasted about the power of the OXBox, and to some extent the 360, and are now saying they don't care about graphics and power? 

I'm referring to ps2 and xbox. Not snes and mega drive.

I remember loads of tech websites and game websites saying halo wasn't possible on ps2, and how the xbox was alot more powerful.

Now ask 170 million people who bought ps2 if they cared it was 45% less powerful????

That's right. They didn't care that resi 4 looked better on gamecube. They were happy with the visuals as they were and they prefer the exclusives they had.

power when its a small difference like 900p to 1080p is not some deal breaker for purchase. Its the games.

as for 16 bit. The reason why snes was superior was because Sega had no answer for games like super star wars trilogy, Mario, Zelda, donkey Kong country, starfox etc. Snes had more better titles. Mega drive had some good titles, but lacking compared to snes.

exclusives are everything.

This power talk is pure points online. Always has been in every gen.

before internet it was the same just in the playground. My team +1. Sorry its sad.

LOL

I don't disagree that exclusives are the most important aspect of a console. Though I think your statement about the likely irony is uncalled is hypocritical and short sighted. 

I don't think so. Its what I see from posters on alot of websites. First hand witnessing these posters writing and posting these ironic statements.

sorry. I know what I see.

not saying all posters are like I said. But a big chunk online are posting in this way.

Someone mentioned a Assassins Creed marketing deal with MS... Anyone have that link?

Xbox fans sure seemed to care about resolution in 3rd party games and npd sales in particular last gen. I wonder what changed?

Saying you're an Xbox fan and exclusives are everything? Lol

The 6th gen was much more peaceful than the 7th. As PS4 continues to apply the beating, it will get closer to those 6th gen days.
