It'll likely be fixed by launch or updated / fixed during first year just like WiiU.

New OS / major features have those types of things. Why do you think PS4 wasn't demonstrated and why do you think Nintendo moved to pre-recorded Nintendo Directs vs live on-stage demos?

Well PS4 is rumoured to be invisible and pre-recorded Nintendo Direct's are equal parts awesome and awkward. 

it is invisible, I've seen it!

as for the video: well once it is finished it will work better

I feel sorry for people that still pay for overpriced cable... Obviously has more features than Nintendo TVii but will people actually care or get excited about this enough? I don't think it will become a huge selling point but that is just me because I only use 2 streaming services which cost me less than $20 a month. You should see some cable bills in USA... Monopolistic greedy bastards that will never agree to a la carte option.


What if MS can take all of your streaming apps and create a easy guide so you only have to speak the show or movie you want and Kinect runs it.  Now put that ability to be able to snap to any of your apps without loading to then get to any other show or movie you want to watch.  This is something I want to see from MS because that would be a game changer.

lol, 2 frames per second?

The main problem isnt that its jumpy or having problems now. The main problem is how sleazy and faked the innitial presentation was.

Obviously there will be problems 5 Months before release, but... "Look how smooth that was! Lets see that again! Yeah!"... When it quite clearly isnt smooth and it isnt running as well as they want the consumer to think.

Its like Kinect Star Wars all over again.

I repeat, at least they are prepared to talk about and show how things are shaping up.

 

How is showing a staged presentation, not informing the audience that "this is what we are aiming for", and not showing how the product is at this stage (i.e. shaping up), showing how things are shaping up? That is, to me, the quite opposite.

Please enlighten me.


If you have ever performed demos before, you know you do not use your latest software.  You use the most stable so it does not blow up on you and make you look silly.  The demo shone on stage might have been a build that only does eactly what Don is demoing to show the functionality.  I know we do demos the same way.  We stripped them down to show the functionality we want.

I sometimes like looking for shows or movies on Netflix and Hulu+ (well there isn't much to look for on Hulu considering it doesn't offer that many shows that I care about).  There are things called instant queues and I organized mine with all the TV series in front and movies in back.  I don't mind the 1-2 min wait from going from Netflix to Hulu or 10-20 sec wait from exiting one Netflix show/movie to another (sometimes I don't even know what I want to watch or watch next and scrolling through my queue helps me decide).  Again this might be a selling point for some but I don't see that much of an advantage.

I know from myself, I would like my viewing to be just as instant as if I was watching cable or over the air.  Turn to a station and watch your show or movie.  Waiting 2 to 3 min for each app to load go to my queue or searching just take to long and a busy like I have.  Also being able to say a show name and the guide just find it without me hunting for it is a must.
