Nice thoughts, I have both consoles but only the PS4 from Day 1.

I notice you didn't say anything about the 3 games you got at launch for X1?
I think forza 5 is a great all round racer with good graphics for a launch game, the fighter within I haven't played but ive seen the horrendous reviews, and Ryse, which is my current x1 game, gets quite tedious and is best played in short bursts in my opinion.

Also I think that the oversharpening upscaler in the X1 is not completely fixed, Ryse at 900p still looks rough to me.

Dis gone be gud.

The biggest problem of the Wii U is Nintendo's irrational business decisions. Why not release every game for 3DS on Wii U? Would bolster its library significantly. Nintendo doesn't give a crap about visuals, so they wouldn't even have to do much work on the ports. They released a double screened console just to not replicate the success of DS and 3DS.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

the truth of the "next gen" is how sadly under powered it was. all the big 3 failed to deliver a true next gen gaming experience

Compared to what exactly? because all three systems have, and are providing a notably better visual experience to the last generation.

If you're comparing the advancement to current generation PC tech then you're being entirely unreasonable in your expectations.

If you're talking gameplay and not graphics, The Xbox 360, Wii and PS3 didn't provide a "next gen" experience over the previous generation, either, unless you're calling controller waggle next gen. but over time the experiences expanded to better use the hardware and thus, provide a more expansive experience, the same always happens each generation.

p.s. you should edit your avatar, as it stands it's against forum rules.

What would you have them do? ps4/x1 are very well balanced consoles with some cool features. I'm talking about performance btw.

You can't stick a desktop 3GHZ 8 Core CPU in their without having a weaker GPU for price and heat reasons. The 8 Core 1.6GHz Jaguar is much more powerful than the cell for general purpose computing, and is very efficient.

 

Compared to the cell, it does more operations per clock and can do out of order execution, plus being x86 it won't need programming geniuses just to get it up and running.

 

I'm not denying it would have been higher performing if it had a quad core mobile cpu equivalent from intel, but then you can't have the cost effective AMD APU, and the extra efficiency from being designed by one manufacturer.

 

If I were to change one thing about the PS4, it would have been to not downgrade the GDDR5 as they did when they found out about X1's memory (It was originally higher quality, slightly more expensive RAM, giving 192GB/s, as opposed the 176GB/s it offers now), and

Overall I agree with much everything in the OP. Again, my only major complaint about the PS4 would be the lack of sufficient number of exclusive titles which will hopefully change in 2015

Next Gen Consoles Impressions and Estimates

i am not very good with tech, but all i know a maxed out gaming rig is light years beyond ps4. Ps4/x1/wii u life cycle is 5-6 years? as time goes on pc will grow strong and advance more.

Just as a maxed out PC was when the PS3/360/Wii released, I played Quake 2 in resolutions higher than the current consoles can muster over 15 years ago, it doesn't mean a thing though.

The overall experience is largely the same, abeit with marginally better textures, aliasing and resolution, but considering the largest portion of pc gamers are running only a 1080p monitor, that increase isn't really as large as most would have your believe.

However, this is a review of the current three consoles, not PC's so take that talk elsewhere.



WiiU: I enjoyed this console, because it has Gamepad controller which is really good handy playing off-TV & experienced gameplay touch screen. Disappointingly those AAA 3rd parties abandoned support due to CPU... However we have indie games.

Xbox One: No.... Just no, 4 major problems of this console: The UI menu navigation, installation time, Rare games & hard drive replacement. Deal breaker.

PS4: I love the console honestly but biggest disappointed is the controller(Oh my god, why Sony lol). Well, we have games buuuuuut they're most of them remastered & lack of Japanese games
