So to sum it up -Yield issues due to heat problems w/ ESRAM -Started R&D very late, much later than Sony -Change in leadership apparently didn't work very well -Entertainment focus forced them to lock-in 8GB DDR3 early which also forced them to use ESRAM to make up for the RAM disadvantage -GPU might be underclocked to try and improve yields -Development tools aren't very mature either, they are behind Sony -6 Months behind schedule -PS4 reveal + 8GB GDDR5 caught them off-guard. -Reveal UI/OS wasn't real-time. It was faked. As a tech enthusiast, who would be excited for an Xbox One right now? If given a choice, I think most would pick the PS4. |
There are a lot of people who never read these or other forums. I know my friends and fam who own X360 were all excited about X1 until I told them about the DRM. I haven't yet told them about this news.
