Seriously. What is bad about installation times.  So maybe the PS4 is faster, but who gives a rats ass.  I have never notice an install take very long.  Now I get everything digital so maybe installing from a disc takes longer, but again who gives a rats ass. It is done once and then over.

 

Seems you do given how defensive you are getting about the subject.  But maybe you dont and thats cool, but other might.  You sure dont speak for all.

By the way nothing more annoying and pathetic this day and age then getting a shiny new game throwing it in anticipating epic gaming just to stare at a loading page for hours.

For one how do you even know the size. I have never once cared nor looked to see how large a patch is. Like someone else said. They just happen in the background. Why would I care.

For another, maybe it is because they arent just patches.  The Xbox One gets new features added all the time, not just patches.

It is because it adds time to play the game... these mandatory day one patch don't allow you to play the game without them... so you buy the BD and start to install (that takes a time already) and while that it download the mandatory 10GB patch that take even more time.

That is why Xbone users are loud about the installations wasting 40 minutes or more.



The problem with the Zune analogy is simply this.

Zune was better than the iPod
Xbox One isn't better than the PS4.

At this present point in time, Xbox One is not the inferior console. Not even close.

The PR disaster of 2013 will take time to heal. The console doesn't have a single flaw.

And no, resulition does not make a game better. 


So if two games are completely identical except one is 900P and one is 1080p the one with 1080p isn't better? I have a hard time beliving anyone would agree with that.



This isnt a doom thread? LOL

I consider the xbo more than I used to, it gets better every month an update comes out. I think it is getting better, and over time so will the numbers.

I am slowly changing my opinion of the xbo and it is becoming more of a factor everyday PSN is down again or my shit gets compromised again bc of shitty network sony security, which has NO excuses now peeps are paying.

Whats a zune?      (i kid)

The Xbox One's biggest problem is the mountains of subjective fud floating around the internet. If you read an endless succession of deliberately exaggerated 'problems', downplayed or ridiculed advantages and outright lies you might actually believe the X1 isn't a really enjoyable experience.

Hopefully any undecided newbies understand the nature of VGC's problem and the webz' overall bias and form their own opinion based on more than a long-standing hatred for The Evil Empire or an inability to objectively view their experiences on PS consles during those halcyon formative years before they became jaded, bitter and full of hate. Imo.

Also in my opinion the OP just oozes bias and the guesstimate of as little as 30m LT for the X1 is an indicator of just how far from objectivity he is. On a ten scale I'd put him at 7. Ethomaz is about an 8.5 but i'm around a 2.5, maybe a 3 so subtract my bias quotient and they are a 4 and a 5.5. I just made this up what do you think? Lets rate everybody!

The measure.

The ipod had 75% marketshare that eventually rose to over 90%. 

This isny remotely similar.  The ipod didnt just have the cool factor, it had almost 100% mindshare.

This isnt remotely the case with the PS4 and ONE despite how much some of you might think it is.

 

I figured that would be your reason. Though the scale is different the situation is largely the same.

 

Also, by the end of the gen the PS4 might have something like 60-70% market share if your just talking about PS4+XBO


and it would still be wrong.  because if you just take ipod and zune the ipod had 90%+ market share.

NO ONE SAID IT IS AN EXACT COMPARISON.

Why?  I said 30-40m.  I think the PS4 will sell 100m, and the X1 will sell less than half the number of the PS4.  Not crazy at all.

 

FYI people called be a fanboy when I said based on the hardware the PS4 will be between 75%-100% stronger than the X1.  Oh look Ubisoft's own benchmarks confirm this.  Sometimes reality is biased.

I know.  But I DID say it is a shit comparison.  Because it is.  Sorry if that offends you, pick a better comparison next time.

How is it a shit comparison.  I perfectly illustrates my point.  Sorry if you can't make the connections. :/

Basically this. The Zune had several advantages over the iPod back then. X1..... not so much, if any at all...
