I've heard that quite a bit of content was cut from Destiny late in development to be sold later as DLC. Don't know how much truth there is to that though as I haven't read much about the game because of its multiplayer focus, an area of gaming I have no interest in whatsoever. But if it is true that's pretty slimy.

When Mr Witcher has problems navigating to a ladder 2 foot in front of him, it indicates "not best dev",
Nobody's perfect. :)
Besides, Geralt likes to get sauced now and again.
The point is that outside of the RAM amount the 10X as powerful claim is marketing bs.
10x was a number made by me. Some components are 7 times faster, other ones 16 times better, etc...
My point is that they are alot more powerful than 360 and PS3, unlike many of us were predicting a few years ago.
Well, your predictions were pretty damned pessimistic. I was expecting consoles that truly were 10X as powerful as the previous gen considering it had been 8 years long. And the 10X as powerful claim is one that both MS and Sony were throwing around in the early days of these consoles. But it's a lie, X1 is around half of that, PS4 around 70% of that.
Oh come on man. We all know that 5 years ago MS and Sony were investing alot in their motion controllers. All the threads and polls about PS4 and 'Xbox 3' power, back then, used to point at casual future (Wii's success also helped).
Anyway, all i wanted was the ability to play my games with a 'normal' controller in my hands, at native 1080p, with better graphics, bigger worlds, better effects like particles, reflexions, etc. This was exactly what i got so i have no reason to complain.
That's fine but you're the one that claimed they're 10X as powerful as last gen and they aren't. Hell, one of them is only half that. And native 1080p? X1 games are 900p much of the time and considering the framerate of many of PS4's games it is largely a 1080p pretender.
@PAL360: Are you serious? GPU-wise X1 is 5X the power of 360, PS4 7X the power of 360. CPU-wise it's less than that. The only area where they actually achieved the 10X claim is with the memory and MS managed to flub even that to a degree.
And 16x the RAM. It's not that linear.

If they really were 10X the power of last gen I'd be happy with both of them.

I think its a solid 7 all around
7? Wow, that's generous. The lack of power in the hardware I mentioned earlier is just one problem. There's all the microtransactions, unnecessary DLC, endless patches, etc. Seriously, does anybody ship a game that is actually ready to be shipped anymore?
I refused to buy it because of the microtransactions.
Oh, they went that route? Well, that's certainly a good reason to avoid it. I wish death or at the very least considerable pain on any franchise/company that elects to dwell in that sewer.
