Hey guys,

 


Hey yourself, you mentioned lots of features but what's the killer one ?

The wii has the wiimote, the wiiu has the tablet thing, ps vita has powah, ps4 is dev friendly, 3ds has 3d.

What's the one thing that characterizes the ONE ?

Best UI, best online infrastructure, best next generation racing sim, best first party FPS, best skeletal/muscle tracking, best voice recognition, best controller, best video conferencing for gamers, best scaling for games (Xbox One is the only console that supports 4K for both games and video), best audio chip, best support for the top 2 third party franchises (COD and FIFA), best with interacting with all your other electronic devices, I could go on but suffice to say that this system is far more ambitious than the ones you've listed. 

I mean the Vita is laughable, adding a touch screen and increasing the specs and calling it a day?  It's insulting to even compare something like that to Xbox One.  If Vita actually had any real killer features it wouldn't be struggling and waiting for a price cut to compete with products that cost twice as much as it does.  Anyways we should get back on topic about how great the Xbox One is and stop derailing it by comparing products that have no right to even be mentioned with it.

Since you're using the term 'best'...

Best UI

Have you seen the PS4 UI? No. You're just assuming it's the best because the conference put so much emphasis on it. Might as well assume PS4 has better games since the emphasis was on that.

Xbox One's UI can be controlled by voice, motion, or controller.  It can instantly switch from your television to any game you have installed and back again without the need of getting off your couch or even picking up a remote.  It has a snap function to bring up windows to do searches with voice commands.  It has Skype conferencing.  You're dreaming if you think Sony will come close to matching this, it'll take them years to copy the things the PS4 would even be capable of doing.

best online infrastructure

Cross game chat was the only 'trump card' on 360. That's gone now. There is complete parity between the two services. Oh wait, PSN is free.

I'm not talking about cross game chat although Microsoft has upped things again in that department, I'm talking about 300,000 servers.  Ask someone at Sony if PSN has as many servers and I'm sure you'll get some BS PR response that if you read through the lines tells you they don't.

best next generation racing sim

Very, very debatable. Whilst Turn 10 have made giant leaps with the Forza franchise, I would say that 'best' so unequivocally is taking it a bit far.

I guess we'll have to wait to see what racing sim Sony has for PS4 but until they announce it and we have it in our hands Forza 5 will be the undisputed champion of racing sims for next generation consoles.

best first party FPS

Most recognized and popular - totally. Best, also debatable. (less than the above though)

Metacritic
Killzone - 59
Killzone 2 - 91
Killzone 3 - 84

Halo - 97
Halo 2 - 95
Halo 3 - 94
Halo 4 - 87

You call this debatable?

best skeletal/muscle tracking

Yup. They sure have this one.

best voice recognition

It's just software. Anyone could implement it. No-one has really cared much for this.

So you agree it has the best voice recognition.

best controller

Firstly, none of us have played with either of the next-gen offerings. Whatever the result, they will be very, very close.

The rumble in the triggers has been called "freaking awesome", I have yet to see anyone describe the PS4 controller in such a way.  I guess we'll have to wait but it's looking very good for the Xbox One controller.

best video conferencing for gamers

Can't believe you all care for skype so much.

best scaling for games (Xbox One is the only console that supports 4K for both games and video)

LOL WUT. Your credibility is gone. Completely.

How is my credibility gone?  It is the only console that supports 4K for both (PS4 only supports it for video), if you don't believe me go look it up.

best audio chip

WUT.

Same as above.

best support for the top 2 third party franchises (COD and FIFA)

Are you really happy MS spends money on timed exclusive DLC and not on new games? Ok then. And Fifa... wut?

Umm you haven't heard of the deal between EA and Microsoft?

best with interacting with all your other electronic devices

'best' cause this is their whole angle.
