Ryse best launch game visuals. Thats good enough for me. QB looks awesome and Im sure Halo 5 will to.

I prefer to have a media device nowadays anyway over mainly a games console.


No ryse isn't, the fact that KZ looks as good or getter and is pushing 30-40% more pixels and is a lot more open and has way more going on only undeerscores the limits x1 has reaching said visuals. Not to mention FPS that dips in the low 20's.

 

PS4 also is a media device and a better game system, and people will agree once sales numbers slowly trickle out.

Thats subjective, some independent reviewers say ryse looks the best others say KZ. 

If the PS4 cant handle dlna or use external HDD's then it isnt a serious media device.  Try arguing that it is on AV forums... they will laugh at you.  Ps3 was a trojan for Blu ray, PS4 is a trojan for Sony subscription services.  I'm not sure why people are surprised wit this as Kaz has ben saying for the last two years they need to leverage their content somehow.  Now you know how.

Grasping at straws, sony is adding these in, they focused on gaming features out of the gate..please. Everything you said is BS basically. They already confimed this is all getting added. How will you spin it then? Ps4 will be a betetr game machine and a robust media device, just like PS3 was.

 

I am often on nthe av forums.. anyone with slight intelligence knows more features get added after launch (LIke these) just like MS doesnt have streaming, and numerous other features, Sony focused on other things., it's coming destroying your wntire argument.

 

X1 is a trojan horse for anti-consukmer practices, DRM and paywalls...See teo can play this childish game. Blu-ray the now standard HD disc media was a trojan horse LMAO.

to bold I agree and I would add the windows media player extender.... makes it the ultimate gaming machine for any AVS enthusiat with HTPC.... and on that fact alone PS and anybody else will never compete with the XB.... the 360 sold millions of console on that fact alone in the AVS market in the recent years... it makes it the perfect cable box replacement for someone with a multi channel Tuner on their PC plus easy access in a clean presentation for all their media content stored on the HTPC or other storage/server/NAS.... and apparently it is working great with kinect on the xbox one.... I have seen nothing comparable on any other console or even TV box such as roku or apple TV....

but guys that's not really the subject here...

Is this a joke? X1 doesnt even support media centre extender and it was hrrendous on PS3.. PS3 was a vastly superior media device and was used more for media (PS3 is #1 for netflix as an example and hgad bluray.) You are totally mis-informed. Ps3's media abilites were vastly superior to 360, 360 didn't work with barely any formats.

 

Also as said the PS4 can handle DLNA it was just not ready for laynch. The ps3 sold more due to its media ability then 360 ever did.

 

You have not used many media boxes if you think x1 even competes with the better media boxes out there.

LOL if you say so...

netflix as a measure of media capabilities for AVS enthusiast... first it's like listening to radio and pretend it is some bad ass Hi-Fi quality control.... second an AVS enthusiast doesn't have like half a dozen devices that are netflix capable.... and third I did say HTPC.... like anybody with an HTPC gives two rats ass about the BR drive of the PS3 and beside if they are AVS enthusiast and still want a BR player  they don't use the BR player of the PS3 as their main one....

and XB1 does work with HTPC not through WMCE but you do have the option to set up a media center PC and it works... do your research

and bold might be true amongst regular media consumer but certainly not among AVS enthusiast and by far far far far.....

but if you say so...
