@steve_esquire racers don't require as much power as say open world games, it's not hard to get great performance in such a game. The console will struggle with more demanding games, it's not a good sign that it struggles with CoD which isn't in any way, shape or form a graphical powerhouse.
Dead Rising 3 is also in 720p at just 30 FPS, that is pretty underwhelming form a "next"gen console. It's 100$ more than PS4 yet it's considerably weaker so I have no idea what they base their price on, even with the Kinect.
The only smart thing Microsoft did with the X1 launch was to have another Forza title, they always turn out good, it's the only exclusive franchise that's worth a damn besides Halo and Gears.
However Shaun is too big of a Forza fan, he kinda overrated it a bit according to the critic average which is 82.
I'd take a look at the comments below me but I know they're just Xbox fanboys trying to make excuses after the X1 lineup proved to be basically as underwhelming as PS4's.
I don't get why people were expecting great games, launch titles are always ok at best.
