Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Major Nelson on X1 Power: "I can't wait for the truth to come out."

whats the point of having hidden specs and a secret processor. why hide it now? sony cant really change anything, they already have warehouses filled with systems built. If MS had anything that was actually more powerful they would be shouting it as loud as they can. Like cloud...

It's clearly obvious Microsoft are trying to update there specs to be closer or better than the Ps4. They are chnging them just like they've changed just about everything else they were going to do with the system! It shows that Sony are leading the way because otherwise Microsoft would have to keep changing their original ideas and plans to basically be more like Sony. Not being a fanboy here I'm simply saying what it looks like from a fans view.
I look forward to the next 3-4 months when everything is out.

if xbone is so super powerfull why not say it ? why not sell it as the most powerfull console ?

"Two things: I love that he and Mr. Penello keep repeating this mantra about how smart their programmers are. As though Sony employed a bunch of drooling morons who grabbed parts off shelves and hot glued them together when they came up with the PS4"

damn this fanboy is fucking pissed xD


We might be waiting for the NDA to end.

Well this is to be expected since they've been fumbling around and trying to get the specs closer and up to par with its competitors.

And wtf does he mean by he "cant wait"? The console has already been revealed and the specs are pretty much already known except for the things they're scrambling to tweak and change

I believe he is talking about the games.  Games will decide if there is a 30 or 50% delta between the PS4 and X1.  If the PS4 does not perform better or it's games do not look better than ....NOTHINg.  Fanboys will still nick pick every particle looking for an advantage and corporations fighting for consumers will pimp their product over the other.  It will be the PS3 vs 360 battle all over again and we will all get tired of the silly battle as we are today.



I can't wait too. They talk about how great their engineers are but fail to talk about the RRoD issue, lack of HDD on launch models and an add on for HD-DVD. Directx existed when the 360 came out too yet their games fell behind Sony's in terms of graphics

I doubt there is anything to it other than trying to shift perception. That's his job, after all. I don't understand why they would be trying to hide anything at this point. It's not like Sony is going to redesign the PS4. If they had better hardware than people thought, wouldn't they be advertising it? They've certainly been letting people know about the increase in clock speeds. There is no gain in saying, "ha, we fooled you by making you think it was weak." Wouldn't that be a way to actually lose sales?

It's likely just spin, for the most part.

 “there’s no way” they’re giving up a 30% graphical advantage to the PS4"

why not say  “there’s no way” we are giving up  even 5% or for that matter no % what so ever a graphical advantage at all for over the xboxone at all in favor of the PS4?



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

ps:

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

Until they actually prove this, I am not impressed. I notice they tend to mention that the "difference in the power of the two consoles wont be that large", as opposed to the "the X1 will have the same power OR be motre powerful" which suggests that either way the ps4 will pack more of a punch. Of course this is not to say the X1 games couldnt look better than ps4 games.

So people will not keep asking questions like this lets talk about why its suppose to be a secrete as far as the rumor is concerned.  There is a NDA, meaning non disclosure agreement that prevents MS from saying anything about the rumored discrete graphics chip within the X1.  So for people who keep asking the question why would MS bla bla, its because they cannot until after Sept 29th.

Now thats the rumor whether any of it is true is left to speculation but for people who continue to say MS would tell the world why they have the most powerful hardware if the rumor is true thats the reason.

There is nothing within Larry or anyone from MS words that make you believe there is such a part in the X1.  Instead it sounds like what many developers that are working on both systems have stated.  The difference between both systems are small.

The only plan MS changed that is directly related to Sony was the online part of the X1.  I know people keep making these statements but exacly what else did MS change to be more like Sony.



If MS were confident the Xbone was more powerful than the PS4, they would be shouting it over the hills like they had found gold. This alone confirms they are either even, or the PS4 is stronger. Simple as that.

Really tired of these dick waggling competitions between MS/Sony fans though ¬_¬ No matter how big or small the difference is, games are going to look brilliant on both. That's all that should matter.
