If microsoft is so desperate, prove them wrong. I can give you a multitude reasons the Xone is different then its previous 360. I am interested in whats new with the PS4 that its little brother doesn't already do?

 

Truth is......you cant name one. ALL the same old features and gameplay, nothing new.

Thre PS4 is just a stronger PS3, lol. At Least the Xbox One can turn any TV into voice/motion control that seamlessly switches from game to tv and back again. Add in Skype, NFL fantasy football app, exclusive TV shows and Kinect included in each system I at least see a console that offers a number of things the X360 doens't out the box. PS4 is PS3 will bigger arms, lol:)

But this is system wars:) Cows gonna cow!

shawn30

 

First of the PS4 been a stronger PS3 in nothing downplay the PS4,the PS4 basically got some of this best and highest rated games this gen.

It had high definition movie playing,when teh xbox was charging your $100 dollars for a miserable $15 dollar on PC wifi adapter.

The PS unlike the PS3 charge for online,and has DVR standard,which the PS3 support but just in a few games,when the xbox 360 did not with youtube upload by the way.

 

The xbox one has 2 main things that set it appart from the xbox 360,and they are not good..

The xbox 360 was a power consoles on 2005 that went for as low as $299.

The xbox one is a weak console that goes for $100 more than the competition.

The 360 had a year head start.

The xbox one has non.

The PS4 is basically a stronger PS3. Why? Because that's basically all most gamers want. Nearly no one wanted the policies and 'innovations' Microsoft was trying to shove down people's throats if they purchased an Xbox One, hence all the reversals. Now the Xbox One is basically a stronger Xbox 360 after all the policy reversals Microsoft has done, and I'm ok with that.

BlackShirt20

People want to pay $400-$500 for the same system? lol

For a more powerful system, yes. Last I checked that's what the general trend has been for each new launch.

It's their marketing and PR trying to put more empahsis on their OS. The Xbox One OS is really neat but it's not as relevant to the immediate market. The vast majority of early adapters will be gamers who aren't interested in the multimedia functionality.

Funny that they say this when MS pulled a 180 and made the Xbox One nearly identical to the PS4.

Nice! I loved the 360 because it was just a stronger Xbox/PS2. PS4, too, seems to be just a stronger 360/PS3. Perfect to me :)

Ahh, Tormentos. Just when I though cows could say anything worse, you join the fray.

One day, you rip on the XB1 for being a TV device, the next you say it's just like the 360. Perhaps Chris Costner Sizemore is a relative of yours?

But it is. And the X1 is just a stronger 360. (Had it been able to do what it wanted to do maybe things would have been different).

Me too. I could care less about all the hardware specs and GPU nonsense. Just bring on the games. That's the main reason we buy these consoles.

Sony done well with that in the past the Blu Ray and the DVD player as helped sony a lot. I worry that if Sony is the last console standing one day, we will not see any innovation in the way we play our games.

I struggle to find this ''new'' features most people have been clammouring about, because if i am correct, the current consoles can already do those multi-media functions aside the TV one (which people reacted negative to). Also this is the same company that did a 180 on its vission for the Xbox One and they have the gull to try trash talk their competitor, like for real. Microsoft needs to invest heavily in its first party development studios and reduce its money throwing at third parties, thats what their lame ass american business mentality needs to get into their stupid skulls

you can watch tv on it... by being a cable subscriber to someone in a supported region and hooking that TV box into your xbox and watching tv through the xbox instead of just on a different input... Oh and you can livestream and record gameplay... and ps4 can do that too, but better.

So they made an innovation where you are saved plugging in one input to the TV? Watch out, ground breaking stuff right there.  I mean I can see the convenience but it's not really that big of an innovation.

Much of what you now think of as the norm for a gaming controller started off being called a gimmick. Even the first NES control was called a gimmick at the time. People need to stop thinking of Gimmicks as bad things.

I just can't see it an a useful innovation when it'd mean I still need to have the TV box on my entertainment center and I need to power the Xbox on just to watch tv, which would just be a waste of electricity.

Exactly.

This is an innovation for MS though because they can monitor your TV watching habits.  In other words spy on you even more than they are already are.

I'll give you smartglass and the counterpart PS app being developed (what I'm guessing we saw in action during The Division's e3 demo) since that stuff is actually useful if implemented correctly to the gamer and can enhance the experience. TV? No, that's a gimmick. Kinect and motion controls you can try to argue, but there's too many limitations on it and that limits the kind of games we can have that are solely controlled by it. Traditional is here to stay.

Both consoles at this point are just upgrades to their previous versions.  Tis a shame, especially because the bump in performance just isn't that great either.

400-500 for such weakness is a scam imo. I could build a better rig for not much more and enjoy better resolutions, framerate, mods, more games, more exclusive games....you get the point.

Motion controls do have their place, even if you don't like them. They can be a lot of fun playing family party games. That being said as the tech improves you will be seeing it used in new ways. When Rumble came out every one called it a gimmick that would not last and has no place in gaming. When the PS3 launched one of the bigger complaints was the lack of rumble in the controllers.

You can watch TV on it using an HDMI pass throut WTF is that.? Use 3 devices to watch what you can watch with 2.?

 

So instead of making a more powerful console they put HDMI in so you can hook up your cable box to the xbox one,and use the xbox one guide,when is much easier to just watch TV with my cable box that already does 1080p and save on my electric bill by not having to turn 3 devices to do the job 2 can do.

MS is just bitter that there is no turning back and that for the first time when they release the xbox will not be the most powerful console around.

Poor Microsoft, too proud to quit yet they continue to push themselves to the brink of extinction.

The PS4 is basically a stronger PS3. Why? Because that's basically all most gamers want.

Well this is what Sony are bargaining on and it is yet to be see if it will play out, however it is plain to see from the drastic market share increase of Ninty and M.S there is a huge huge market of gamers who are deemed to be more casual that have little interest in the raw power increase of the PS4. The wii is something that is often seen as a less "hardcore" console and we all saw what happened there, they created a product with mass appeal and reaped the rewards. Now with the wii U we are seeing a poorly marketed product with less mass appeal and it is causing some issues thus far. Love it or hate it 360 found a great balance between satisfying "hardcore" gamers with a selection of heavy hitting franchises and indie support, they also appeased the casual and family markets with kinect 1.0. Sony have created a product that appeals to your stereotypical hardcore gamer by offering power, Ms have created a product that is trying to bridge the gap between hardcore/casual and entertainment focused consumers. It will either be a Jack of all trades master of none, or a tremendous console. Although I hate the term I would classify as a hardcore gamer by most peoples definition, however my girlfriend loves the kinect and we also watch a lot of movies, The X1 is an absolute no brainer for me because it satisfies the needs of my household. Its a more gratifying purchase than the raw power increase the PS4 offers. If gaming was about power we would all be PC gamers by now.
