Forums - Microsoft - Has Xbox One already won the graphics "War"?

J_Allard on 03 October 2013

I don't think to the every day gamer there ever was a "graphics war". I think it's the same as this gen. Most gamers don't consider there to be any difference in power between the two in my experience. Those who prefer PS3 always list free online, BluRay, and the controller. Have never heard anyone say "PS3 is more powerful".

These consoles will mostly play the same games and 3rd party devs will push for parity.

I honestly thought Rol made this thread.

By the way, you defeated your own argument with your own logic.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

I feel like it has. Let me explain, PS4 may end up more powerful, but I just think it's pretty clear the difference will not be that much.

 

Too most casual users, they wont see any difference. PS4 and X1 will be the "same" power in their eyes.

 

Can anybody REALLY say there is a big difference between Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and Knack, Drive Club, Killzone Shadowfail? Sure some fanboy warriors can claim there is, but I dont think so. They are all "next gen".

 

And thus Microsoft has "won" the graphics war imo. They did what Nintendo failed with Wii U, make a console that is "good enough" and will get all the ports.


That would make it a tie.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

MSFT has clearly won the graphics "war" with titles like Ryse. Good God, man they've won!

How is building an inferior system that devs have to scale down games to get them to run on your console "winning" the graphics war? That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read.

Wow u say that like there a huge gap in power , sorry to break it to u but its small and getting smaller with every update ms does, so if you say kinect offers no value then ps move must of stunk like a hunk of shit since it was cheaper then kinect and yet kinect outsold it, kinect offers alot this gen , even sony knows that since they mimiced the kinect

Well "Project Natal" was brought to Sony BEFORE it was known as Kinect. Sony turned it down because they already had a camera. After being turned down, guess who got ahold of it and spent like 500 million on advertisement for it.. Yep.. Good ol MS

 

Move itself was quality but it didn't really get as much support as Kinect.

 

Also, when replying to a post, you have to hit the quote button instead of reply lol

25million Kinects sold... Microsoft to profit US$100 for each.... US$2.5... 500% profit in 4 years... seems like a good deal for me.

The OP would be exactly right if the Xbox1 was cheaper, it isn't.

Being about the same when you cost more is only going to work if people really want Kinect, if they don't then you are about the same for 100 dollars more. This is a loss every time when talking about the non-core gamers.

$500 is going to hurt Xbox1.

So, the issue is price justice(?). Even that till now we haven´t see any prove of a vast performance descrepancy?

Ok, tell that to the 9mi people that bought a iPhone 5s first week when many Androids are still "theoreticaly" more powerful and cheaper.
