Lets not make this place like N4G

The launch of the new systems, and the run up to their launch already saw to that.


So we add to the cesspool by contributing?  Congrats on taking the high road......

Well you needed a patch to remove the DRM features of the Xbox One, so not sure what you're getting at there =)

You didn't answer one of my questions, what media function does the Xbox have that PS4 doesn't other than watching TV? 


No no no, tjat tiny 1st day patch was an entire OS because the XB1s didnt ship with one /sarcasm

First of all, I do care about the features and games on PS4, being halfway through Infamous and loving it.

Though even if I did not care about the features and games on PS4, it wouldn't mean they are not there.  The PS4 can manage slightly higher resolutions and/or slightly more particle effects than the Xbox One.  The Xbox One can perform a variety of media functions, voice and sight navigation and interactions as a form of gaming input and social functions beyond what the PS4 can manage.

These are facts.  You might not care about them, and if you don't then you wont be purchasing an Xbox One.  But that doesn't mean they shouldn't be included in a pricing scheme.

You know PS4 has voice navigation? Doesn't require a camera. Where was Twitch streaming on the Xbox One when it launched? Not there, missing feature. The only media function it can perform that the PS4 can't, is watch TV. What is sight navigation btw? You can navigate with your eyes?

I am aware that you can use the mono headset to navigate menu's, but not for gaming integration, and not for voice recognition.  I have not actually tried the voice navigating on the PS4 yet, so will not speculate on its effectiveness.

I am sure you know what I meant, but just in case I will clarify that you can use your hands to navigate menus.  Furthermore, Kinect recognises both the face and voice of the person controling the console, and logs you in automatically (including multiple people at once) if it sees you enter the room.

I don't know what relevance launch has to current value?  Given my Xbox One has Twitch I would say none.  But if you want to be pedantic, the PS4 did not launch with voice navigation, you needed to download a patch...

You didn't answer one of my questions, what media function does the Xbox have that PS4 doesn't other than watching TV? 

I certainly did?  You can navigate menus. films, television, games, your entire entertainment library with your voice and gestures.

I am getting at nothing.  You suggested that because something wasn't available 5 months ago, that it shouldn't be factored into value now.  I pointed out how pedandic that viewpoint is.

My personal opinion is that features available now and included with the price should contribute to any perception of value, for both consoles.

what now?


They want to continue with high sales...... You seem to always have an attitude in your posts, especially with Xbox One.

I have an attitude in all of my posts, with all consoles, you just take particular ones personally because they're about your console of choice.

I just read that in Ryuuko's voice and it had so much more impact^^

It takes two people to argue about something, and guess who that second person is?
You can patronize with your "...." use and subtle jabs all you want, but in doing so you become part of the problem and not the cure, I at the very least have embraced my participation.

This is how you do internetting right, Jaywood.

I guess Ryuko is lost on some people.

Man, I constantly surprised by how much people take PR to be fact.

The only thing that the XB1 has over the PS4 in terms of Media Features is the HDMI In.

Wasnt really being subtle was I?  Im pretty positive i outright said what i wanted to.  Just got a little tired of reading post after post of you having an attitude.  Maybe cut it out is all im saying.   Not really an argument so much as me telling you it is tiring seeing users act like you have been.   And as i said i at least appreciate you admitting to having an attitude.And maybe youre just seeking for a reaction, idk.  At the end of the day it is your choice really.

Thank you for understanding the concept of free will, now I must be on my way, I have more attitude filled posts to be making.
