lol, this ain't PS2/Xbox or Wii/360 graphics gaps. You guys really exaggerate things sometimes. If you say it enough, you start to believe it I guess

*shrugs* Personally i believe a 50% higher GPU peak, considerable faster RAM and being more geared towards GPGPU is a fair amount more than "slight".

But hey ho, whatever rocks your boat ^^

As much as I love throwing out numbers let's see those numbers translate to actual graphic capability. If resolution continues to be the only advantage of 50% higher GPU peak and GDDR5 RAM then meh. 



Why do people say Megaton over the dumbest stuff? I took a crap this morning, must have been a megaton.

XBox One just won back America with this, and overall the playing field will be much closer. Any dreams of PS4 domination is over, Xbox is back in this, although I don't think they'll outsell the PS4, it will be much more competitive.


Unless Sony drop $50 for the holidays



But on the same note, I know have NO interest in the Xbox One as Kinect was one of its selling points for me.

I mean let's just take a moment to take this all in: 4........FOUR major cons of the X1 have been addressed.

Price gap, kinect mandatory bundle, no games for gold, apps locked behind gold paywall.

I am VERY surprised to see some people weave this into negative news. Why? Because it makes the company you hate actually be a threat to your favourite company? I don't get it. MS is really showing they are listening, I mean really listening. I thought this would happen next year, but this soon tells me they want the bad word of mouth stopping and right now.

Good on them. Truly. Competition truly brings out the best in everybody.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

No you can use a controller for the game too.



Good move for MS. They are slowly fixing what they can fix after a rough first year.

- Always online - GONE
- no used games - GONE
- no indie self publishing - GONE
- Kinect Required - GONE
- price difference - GONE
- paywall for streaming - GONE
- PS+ much better deal with free games - GONE



came here to scream "LOL" all over the place, but i think you wouldn't understand it how i mean it.

please, someone collect posts from people saying "microsoft would NEVER sell a kinectless sku". i have read that sentence not only one time, that's for sure.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse
