Goodbye Sony in the UK. Watch this sell a ton!!!!


It is still more expensive than the PS4. DELUSION!



Really. I make PS4 in UK £409.99 with 1 game and NO PS+

And NO TITANFALL.

Funny that, you can pre-order the Infamous bundle for 385  still cheaper. As for selling a ton 400 quid for an underpowered console, stop smoking that funny weed m8, or give me some. 

This underpowered console is confirmed by developers the new SDK makes 1080p now easily possible on all multiplatfrom games going forward. Parity will be better on 2nd gen games. And we will see what sells better. Titanfall or Infamous.

Parity, your delusional lol fair enough you should get a job as PR rep for Xbox your good at hiding the truth like them lol.

Moderated,

You can insult all you want. The only reason we werent getting 1080p was due to 32 mb instead of 64 mb ESRAM. The Developers are saying with the new SDK the new tiling tech a the touch of a button will make 1080p easily done on Xbox One.

Ill listen to developers making multiplats who are saying this since the update this month. Not some internet fanboys. They say Xbox One was hell. Its now relatively easy.

I know of Rebellion games who is making Sniper Elite 3 is saying the gap will shrink because of a new SDK. But do you have a list of the other developers saying this as well?  I can only seem to find several articles citing the same developer on this.

Unforunately the new OXM has an article on Bethesda about the new SDK. And how it makes 1080p easy.

But before that at launch Infinity Ward, Bethesda, Dice all said the SDK was behind PS4 and was the reason 1080p was difficult. So we did know this already. I dont know why this is so hard to believe.

2nd gen games will show this. I suspect from Sunset Overdrive onwards we will have parity in res and frames.

You might wanna edit that, we already have a guy in this thread that was banned for calling selnor this.

Then if that's the case ppl should be banned for stating incorrect facts, you cannot magic away hardware differences that big with magic words.

Incorrect facts? Multiplatform developers are confirming this. Ill listen to them thanks. People making games on both PS4 and Xbox One. Calling the machines comparable now on both systems. And Rebellion confirming they are easily now running in 1080p on Xbox One after the new SDK released to them a few weeks ago.

And have the devs explained how they are going to make up for that 40% power gap?  Even if somehow it is easier for them to achieve 1080p using the ESRAM, nothing will change that gap.  In fact, if MS wants them to start pumping out 1080p games, as well, they are going to have to cut corners, elsewhere.  Then, the gap will be even more noticeable.

You are reading waaaaaaay too much on misterxy's hilarious blog..


Im referring to a developer interview not a blog.

Fixed, as in singular, as in one developer making a mid tier game said this and several articles were created in the gaming media to show this conversation. Unless of course you can reply to my earlier question and show me a list of other developers saying this. So far, all we are seeing in the media is companies like SE, Konami. EA, Activision, Ubisoft releasing superior versions on the competing platform. Where is their interviews?  Where is the re-assurance from those companies?  The only thing showing up is leaks that games like Watch Dogs, Witcher 3 will not be up to par with their counter console sku.

All developed with old SDK. Which was confirmed behind PS4 SDK.

Well I see the usual faces looking for a negative spin.

Anyhow, I'm just glad MS is making moves to stimulate X1 sales.

I don't care if PS4 is the top selling console of the gen, I just wanna X1 achieve 360 numbers in spite of mistakes.

Let him dream. With the SDK, all Xbone games will from now on automatically be 1080p, there is no 4-50 pct power gap, the Xbone GPU will magically match the PS4 GPU. Soon the extra GPU will be discovered and Xbone will become a 4TFlop console.

I'm sure Titanfall will have them competing again in NA and the UK.

The only thinkgthis bundle is missing is a gold subscription!



selnor1983 on 24 February 2014

Get on MS you have games with Titanfalls release. Now the price. Man people are getting a hell of a lot in the box for the price. Kinect Sports Rivals is soon as well. Another bundle?



JoeTheBro on 24 February 2014

Sales will be super interesting for the next few weeks in uk and ww. Also PS4 to XBONE ratio was about 3:1 last week, so this should be enough to beat it at least for a week.

No, you have to get Misterx's ramblings right.  It's that the GPU is actually stacked.  And for whatever reason, MS only allows them to use the first level, making the One look weaker.  But, in a few months, and for whatever reason, again, BAAMM!  MS will unlock the 2nd level and 4TFlops, baby.

Surely one of the fastest price drops in console history? I would feel sorry for people who bought the Xbox One (at launch) to play Titanfall. But alas, thats one 'perks' of being an early adopter.

Great deal though. Will boost Xbox One sales quite a bit I'd imagine.
