LOL @ Tom's Hardware. THEY of ANY place should know BETTER. Sorry, should know ANYTHING!

Anyway, stage 1: denial?

When it comes to fanboys, stage 1 is the only stage P:

If I said this for real people would go "WUT?!?" yes because it all depends on what you like and what you need. This resolution debacle is like a brainwashing propaganda to convince us that except for higher resolution nothing should be an incentive to buy a console.

The people buying a PS4 or Xbox One at launch aren't comparable to the overall car market.  You'd have to include phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, old consoles, etc.  Also, additional horsepower in your computing device will likely have more real world benefits than more horsepower in your car.  It would be more similar if the government restricted the resolution and frame rate on displays.

If you have already broken it down to comparing the PS4 to the Xbox One, then you are looking at a niche, enthusiast market.

Again, nitpicking.



roll my eyes



What else did you expect? It's amercian media being cautious not to trash an american product too much. Last time around there was no shortage of ''reasons'' to trash Sony and it's PS3 for any and everything. But When Microsoft does the same, all you hear/read is ''not that big of a deal anyways''



 "...that the Xbox One was going to come in behind the technological performance curve of the PS4 and maybe even potentially, the Wii U."

Um, I don't remember that part at all. Even though the Xbone is in my opinion, a ripoff, you'd have to be pretty biased to think it could be on par with the WiiU.

I do agree with the double standards he points out though. A few sites are blindly dismissing the differences between the Xbox One and the PS4.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

The article definitely doesn't say that ps4 is a better package overall. They said that the power difference is not negligible and media is trying to hide that fact. And yes, pushing more than twice the number of pixels with higher framerate is not insignificant. At all. It is just a fact no matter how Microsoft supporters try to make us believe otherwise. 

The media can say "yes, ps4 is significantly more powerful, but if you care about kinect 2 or any of the Xbone exlusives, it is the way to go." And everyone would be OK with it.
