ah ok I see what you mean now and I can agree to an extent. MS messed things up so bad at E3 that it was going to take a while to turn things around because first you have to make the changes (which to MS a while) and then you have to start providing more then your opponent to get people back. Then you have to make sure everyone knows that things aren't the same as they were during E3 or whatever their friend told them happened at E3. Then you have to hope those people didn't already get a PS4. MS just made a mess of things this gen and the best they can hope for now is to  win the US.

I also think X1 made the mistake of not beefing up the power. I mean. I know the could not know EXACTLY what PS4 was doing..  But they did know they were going to offer a $499 system. They could have worked with a GPU they knew was capable of pushing out more power, especially since they WANTED Kinect 2 to be a big part of the system (when it used up resources games could use).    Just seems like poor planning.   I am mad at the PS4 in a sense for the same thing. These consles should have been made where 1080p/60FPS was EASY to do on DAY ONE.. EVERY GAME.  Unless both Sony and Microsoft KNEW this was going to be a shorter generation..  The X2 and PS5 will be like PC upgrade mainly..    16GB of RAM/ 4k GPUs..  still able to play older games at lower rez (and better if developers tweak ) but new games will be 4k..

Yea I know what you mean. I actually ended up selling my PS4 and building a gaming PC. Just got tired of buying new games for $60 not liking it and not having an option to sell it back/return it. On PC I can do that and I can also download any game and try it out before I buy it. I don't even think 4k will be standard next gen. 4k is pretty tough to do on PC right now while 1080p has been around for a very very long time. I can do 4k on all the old games from the 360/PS3 era but newer games can't be done on my current system.
