| freedquaker said: Well said. Overall, MS doesn't know how to design an efficient console hardware, and they never knew. But with XB1, they really messed it up totally. -Underpowered, costs more to produce even without Kinect, - more difficult to program for... All in 1 package! I could have gone and designed a better console myself, no joking! Even a $100 Graphics Card now EASILY tronounce XB1, and I wouldn't be surprised if the next incarnation of Kaveri also runs hoops around it! PS4, on the other hand, will not be matched by PC at this price range for a few more years. |
The PS4 can be beaten by the PC easily.
Grab a second hand Core 2 Quad for $100 and overclock it to 3.6ghz+
Then get a Radeon 7850/7870, overclock it to 1.2ghz for $200.
It's not only faster, it's cheaper with free online, cheaper games, so it's even cheaper over a long term, throw in mantle to make up for the CPU deficiency...
However... To state Microsoft doesn't know how to design an efficient console is laughable, is it less powerfull than the Playstation 4? You bet. The Playstation 4 is also significantly less powerfull than my PC as I have almost "20 teraflops" of compute performance. (Not that it means much for gaming, I also run at higher-than 4k resolution.)
The Wii U is also less powerfull than all the next gen platforms.
That doesn't mean none of the platforms that are weaker than the PC are suddenly not going to have any good looking games, on the contrary in-fact, reserve your judgement for a few years into the future when everyone will have a good idea on how the market is going to look and how the games are going to pan out.
