Forums - Gaming Discussion - Xbox One exec says Sony PS4 tech specs are "meaningless", games more important

what games do XBOX ONE have at launch?? besides those shity indi titles like spark. i mean Dead Rising 3 is next year, Titanfall is next year, next HALO is next year. WHAT games are on XBOX ONE this year that would make you buy their console?? PS4 is getting KNACK, KILLZONE Shadow fall, couple racing games. then next year will be 12X more games, think microsoft will have 3 or 4, sony will have 10 or 12.

Asked whether he was cautious of comparisons with PS4 by our editor Jon Hicks, Penello pointed out that few players really buy consoles for the specs alone. "The problem is that Sony decided to go out and publish a bunch of numbers, which are in some ways meaningless," he told us. "Because this isn't like 1990, when it was 16-bit versus 32-bit.

Guy sounds like a fool. 

Sony published the actual console specs, something that Penello and his colleagues have yet to do... but they have published 5 billion transistors :) LOLZ

That's the funny part because they are as much guilty as trying to find the next "blast processor" to brag about yet this guy tries to go all Nintendo on us.



 

umm specs are what makes the games look amazing.
Consumers also buy for the price, so good luck there.



Yes, he is 100% right, it is about the games, which is why Sony is still making them and supporting their current console.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I doubt the article is true. It's another one of those Xbox 1 is bad, Ps4 is the good guy.

He seems to be a little angry and arrogant from this. Then again he's just sticking up for a product from the company he works for.

but...you know... Sony didn't come out on stage claiming they were using rocket science.

Yeah, you're right. Microsoft did an Apple and just claimed that they had huge amounts of power without really being clear on specs. Sony just came out and told us what was inside the console

Anyway, the idea is that more power produces better games. If the PS4 is really 50% more powerful than the XB1, then it might have some impact, but he is kind of right. The power difference doesn't really matter



That guy is playing damage control. There were rumors after Sonys PS4 unveiling in February that MS was furious with AMD because they never alerted them to Sonys specs. They were expecting everything to be dead even.



He is right!

We don't know whether MS and Sony actually cooperated in some fashion on the cpu double-Jaguar design. It would certainly have been a good choice for both companies to save costs. MS was totally shocked about the 8G ram in the PS4, a fact AMD certainly didn't know about. Whether there was a data leak or not concerning gpus we will never know. Giving out specs to the other company would result in a billion $ lawsuit, with absolute certainty.

Not sure where you get your info buddy but Dead Rising 3 is a launch title and it comes out with the console just like Forza and Ryse.

OT: I think what he's saying is accurate. However since most are in bash MS mode they will spin it into something terrible.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.
