Damn Boyes way to twist the knife. Nice to have someone officially confirm it though so the fans don't have to rely on hearsay and evasive pr mumbling to make their purchasing decision.

You underestimate the impact of such news.
Like i said, its not about COD, its about the demonstration of the difference between PS4 and xbox one
With internet, information travels fast and easily become public( the rumor is already everywhere in the world on all the forums, its not just gaf who cares about the resolution, eveyrone care about power, everyone care about buying the best hardware , especially for a better price).
everyone = early adopters, those who look for the best ( this is why they buy a new next gen hardware, to get the new most powerful system and get the best console version of ac/cod/bf/... , if they dont care about this, then they buy a wii u with more exclusive games or just keep the current gen waiting for more exclusive games to buy a next gen )
Do you know why Sony wins against Sega ? One of the main reason is that everyone believed PS2 was more powerful (even if it was wrong, so, now, since its true for the PS4, its a real matter )
Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:
PS4: 17m XB1: 10m WiiU: 10m Vita: 10m

Like he said, its not about COD, its about Microsoft and the xbox one being less powerful than the PS4 for $100 more with real differences in games. ( what most of people didnt believe, when there will be facts, they wont be able to deny it anymore) It would be very bad for microsoft and they are in partnership, this is why activision is trying hard to improve that, Xbox one reputation depends on this big game and everyone is looking at the resolution now, so they could make sacrifices on other things while people are not looking and focusing on the resolution ( maybe not the frame rate). |
I'm sure the Xbox One is more expensive because it has the kinect included, so it's not like MS is trying to rip people off into buying the less powerful console for a higher price.

Indeed, that would be great...IF kinect was really useful in games, but all the games can be played without kinect, if there was a big kinect game like sombiU did for the Wii U gamepad.
Most people dont know the more expensive system is also the less powerful ( in fact, most people think more expensive = more powerful without even thinking that kinect could cost 150-200$ )

Most people dont know they are buying a more expensive and less powerful system . |
Yeah I personally wish it didn't come with the Kinect I mean I see no major games supporting the device at launch. Maybe if sells turn out terrible after the first month MS will get the message.

Oh they'll definitely have a cheaper kinect-less SKU some time next year. The only question is if they wait for the holiday push with Halo to do it or just say fuck it and un-bundle right after launch.

That is a big reason, but not the only reason.

MS could have sold the One for less without putting themselves in a bad situation, but decided not to.

Wow... this guy is in serious damage control.
If it cames out as 1080p he could say : "I was right. The last build was 720p, they cleary made sacrifices and optmisation was severe".
Does it sound familiar? I think I read exatly the same thing a few weeks back with Battlefield 4 version.
Isn´t that funny? People are talking as a accomplished fact a rumur that has very little basis.
Have any one here realy seen a side-by-side comparison? Have any game said to be dramatically downgraded in one of the consoles?
Please, show me!
