The only reason I play Xbox is to play with my brother who lives in England while I'm working abroad, and I haven't done that in a few months.
As for the new xbox, it looks and sounds garbage, plagiarising ideas from Sony and Nintendo and pretending they're original is quite sickening.
Tl;dr - *Yawn*
I'm sorry what exactly does Xbox One have that PS4 and WiiU have, other than 8GB of RAM? PS4, stupid Eye Camera crap, nonfunctional move system, lousy living room entertainment ability.
For the person, I forget who now, that commented on the Always On feature, PS3 already uses an "Always-On" state, through standby modes. It's why when you first turn on the system, the latest PS3 update has already been downloaded and why cloud saves have already happened.
At no time during the announcement did Microsoft translate "Always On" or "Always Connected" to a requirement of any kind and thus far I have not read a single article about it, since the announcement. It would absolutely not be in Microsoft's or game developers best interest to support such a thing at this time. Microsoft and game developers would lose money on the deal. Microsoft because, fewer people would purchase the console in lieu of the PS4 and game developers because they would lose sales because they would be limited in the number of consoles they could sell for.
As for the new Xbox, I was impressed by it and it gives me features that honestly, Sony should have thought of first, since they sell TVs to begin with. I can eliminate all of the remotes in my living room and tell my TV what I want to watch. The only reason people like you guys flock to PS to begin with is because of the brand. It has nothing to do with quality of the product or the service. My only big complaint about Microsoft is Xbox Live, I hate that I have to pay to play what people on PSN can do for free. But product for product, Xbox has always been better than PS. It has always had better graphics, better sound, and better user friendliness. The proof alone is in the sales numbers, 360 continues to outsell PS3 and in fact, Sony is so embarrassed by how well it is doing the US, that it hasn't released sales numbers in several years.
I'm not slamming you for preferring PS4 over Xbox One, but OMG at least don't try to pass an opinion off as truth.

*crickets* A $400 PC does not have the specs the PS4 has...so it is a CHEAP mid-ranged PC with a good GFX card in it. Also a PS3 and an Xbox can both play Crysis 3...try and find a $200 to $300 PC made 5 years ago that can play Crysis 3. Comparing Gaming power per dollar spent consoles win every time.
AMD FX-8350 8 Core CPU $200 Bucks at New Egg
ASUS GTX 660 $191 on Newegg
Assuming I put these items in an existing case I've met or surpassed at least the PS4, since MS hasn't released any information concerning the X1 GPU, hard to say, but I've probably met or exceeded it as well.
Also -
Crysis 3 system requirements (minimum)
CPU: 2.8 GHz dual core processor, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom X2 or better
RAM: 2GB
Graphics: DirectX 10 graphics card with 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 400-series or AMD Radeon 5000-series.
Operating system: Windows Vista
DirectX 9c sound card
16 GB free hard drive space
Crysis 3 system requirements (recommended)
CPU: 2.4 GHz quad core processor, Intel Core i5 or better
RAM: 2GB (4 GB for 64-bit operating systems)
Graphics: DirectX 11 compatible video card with 1GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 500-series or AMD 6000-series or better.
Operating system: Windows 7, Win 7 64-bit is preferred
DirectX 9c sound card, dedicated audio card is preferred
16 GB free hard drive space
While not at the highest video settings, I'll bet that this $400 PC can run Crysis 3 at least as well as and with similar graphics to both the PS4 and X1. Both of those machines are using OUTDATED PC hardware. Oh and this computer: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/G72Gx/ has ran all the Crysis Games with medium graphics and its a 3.5 year old laptop.
For the record, I still have the ASUS Laptop and am still using it and posting in this forum with it....only thing ever changed on it is the OS. |
