| Too_Talls said: I won't comment on the consoles themselves as the topic is focusing in this community. I agree x 1 has become a punching bag and there are two reasons for that. 1. Something has to take hits pre launch in close releases, xbox has had more weak spots exposed and sony kept better secrets. A lot of things said about xbox are past things that are no longer true but I think this website is beyond that at the very least. 2. Fanboys try to swing sales of the undecided gamers. it happens for every console and we don't see it from MS this time around because they don't have any sexy leverage. News of the resolution disparity gave sony fanboys an easy clinger, not that power wasn't always their main argument but the technicality of it only made it an easy argument. Things will be what they will be but it would be nice if people didn't cling so much on aged established news. We see the same threads posted by different people word for word, and when it's not the exact same the topic does not change, it gets old rather quickly. Basically we have a lot of dedicated marketer here that may or may not be getting profits from the sales. Can't change it though, I think they kind of like acknowledging threads like this, more fuel to the fire. |
You forgot a few other ewasons.
1. MS tried to implement draconian DRM schemes and required an every 24 hour check-in to play your games. They have since walked that back under intense pressure from the gaming community and the media.
2. They are selling a technically inferior (well have to see if the eSRAM ever delivers any performance gains later into its lifecycle) machine for $100 more.
