DF Justifying the X1X Price Point

[freedquaker]

No, I am not kidding at all. Go to the sites like Ars Technica, find them saying like "The PS4 is slightly more powerful than Xbox One".

The tech sites underplayed the difference to the extreme! It's the Sony fans who constantly emphasized it and reminded the techies (who tend to be Xbox supporters). In theory, there is a noticeable gap (especially due to the RAM bandwidth, not only the GPU grunt) but third parties usually opted for the lowest common denominator, and developed the games, first targeting XBox One, and then using the remaining power for higher resolution or frame rates on PS4.

The problem here is that THE VERY SAME TECH SITES, without even reviewing the first batch of games, are declaring the XBX to be MUCH faster than PS4, although it has exactly 43% more GPU power, just like the case with PS4 vs XB1. They even quote (and fail to criticize) that "PS4pro should be compared to Xbox One S"... This is almost saying like PS4 should be compared to Xbox 360. Even baseline PS4 is significantly (40%) faster than XBox One S, roughly equal to the gap between PS4pro and XBX. They are so hypocritical that, the same gap, is ignored when PS4 is superior (PS4 vs XBox One S), but overblown when XBX is the superior one (XBX vs PS4pro). The hypocricy is unbelievable.

Please MARK MY WORDS, guys. XBX will fail, unless they cut the prices to at least to PS4pro levels (then the Status Quo will continue). Microsoft do not know anything about the non-English speaking markets, and with this price, they have ZERO CHANCE in any non-English speaking country, and their share will further diminish even in  English speaking ones. And unless they slash the price, there will be more and more PS4pros everywhere, which are drastically superior to XB1, and even though XBX may have the theoretical edge, there won't be many of it to show off!
