There are no graphical issues on either console.

A typical person playing games will not notice a difference between the two consoles.

Sure, if you freeze a game, take a screen shot and put them side-by-side you can tear one or the other apart, but when people are playing they are not going to be thinking, "Geez my version stinks compared to the other console"...

Also, the X1 is not under powered. As compared to most typical gaming PCs it will run circles around them. So to say it is under-powered is only when compared to a $3,000 gaming PC or the PS4... Compared to the Wii U, 90% of PCs, and most other consumer devices it is a powerhouse. And while Sony fans like to talk about their technical specs, the generation will be long and as it progresses things will be more about the cloud, streaming games, and other things related to the architecture of the consoles.

I don't get why Microsoft fans always attack Sony fans in these topics, lol, never the Nintendo gamers or PC gamers.

 

I can buy a $500 PC that runs circles around the Xbone, btw.

Want windows?

OS - $90 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q0PT3I/ref=as_li_ss_tlie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004Q0PT3I&linkCode=as2&tag=c09_11-20

$525 overall.

Xbone = $500 + 6% tax = $530.

And that PC build is IF you want windows, if you already have windows or don't want it, you can use that extra $90 to get a 7870 and a better CPU. 

 

So yeah.

It was not an attack, I was just stating that X1 is not under-powered as many people are putting it out to be. 

As for your $530 PC...  It is still more expensive then X1... And you didn't include time and labor to put it together, not to mention install the OS, all the drivers, and get your app/game library on it.  And outside of the PSU and CPU, you bought a bunch of "crap" parts (Gigabyte MB are crap, the case you chose is like the titanic, ASUS aren't known for the best graphic cards [even though they are using a radeon chip], the keyboard/mouse aren't suitable for gaming) .  And where is the blu-ray drive, ESRAM, and Kinect V2.0?  If you are going to build a gaming PC, please do it right and not out of a bunch of crap that won't even last a year.  PS:  Windows is licensed through the HDD, so to be legal you do have to license a new OS to the computer.
