Is 900p okay? Is Xbox One a worthy 8th gen console now?

This whole generation is under powered, 1080p 60fps should've been the minimal for these machines and they also should've been capable of 4K resolution. I wasn't too happy when I saw the performance of these consoles at first but I've learned to accept it to stay a console gamer.

You obviously have no idea how much 4k gaming costs.

 

Anyway onto your other point, saying 1080p/60fps means almost nothing about the games visuals, every game this gen could be 1080p 60fps if the developers wanted it to be, they would just have to scale back the visuals it's literally up to them so if they want to do it they can like metal gear and the COD games etc.

 

If ps4 was 2x more powerful I can almost bet it would still have 1080p 30fps games because everything would be put on visuals. But it wouldn't sell nearly aswell because it would cost so much.

 

Selling $600/$700 consoles kind of ruins the point of them.

So then if making these consoles more powerfull than a pc when it first releases it will automaticly make it cost 700$/600$? How did mircosoft manage to make the 360 pretty much more powerful than a pc at the time for 400$ in 2005? My knowlage ain't huge on this but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be impossible to get it under sub 500$ at launch if they were more powerful..

You can't say "more powerful than a Pc" because PC just means a computer, a wii is more powerful than a shit PC. Also not really the 360 was out done by a high end pc when it came out, same way current consoles are outdone by a high end PC. PS4 hardware minus the controller that's included in the price costs $290 which In my opinion really isn't that bad for what it can do.

 

And it does what it does whilst recording it all and if you've recorded gameplay on PC you know how much that can drop performance.
