So another lazy developer doesnt take advantage of the PS4's power
Pass
PS4 does have a tech advantage but it ain't as much of one as you might be thinking it is. It's got around a 40% GPU advantage but that is hampered by it currently having around a 20% CPU disadvantage. The CPU in it really isn't good enough to keep up with the GPU and bottlenecks are created, rendering some of its GPU advantage mute. Both of these consoles are shit technically, not just X1.
@XboxStache: The XB1 doesn't need saving. Only consoles that need saving this gen are the Wii U, Ouya and maybe the Steam Box (if it ever gets an official release). Nintendo is already making a new more powerful system to replace the Wii U. Forza 6 is the best next gen console racing game so far.
It might need saving in Europe. It's being outsold in NA but at least sales are respectable here. But Europe is a different matter, getting its fanny tanned there.
Save it? As in push it ahead of PS4? Lol, no. No game can do that, especially a driving game. PS4 has too much momentum now. About the only thing I could see turning things around would be a dozen Bethesda-sized exclusive titles (True exclusives, not this also on PC stuff) of top quality and well, that ain't gonna happen.
They sure are talking about it more. But despite all the hyping they're doing it really doesn't look like very much to me. I keep hoping they'll bring back Lost Odyssey but it probably won't happen because MS gives up on something and never looks back if it fails to sell 40 gzillion copies.
I said it before and I'll say it again: The only problem with X1 right now is that it's weak, that every week or two another article comes out saying such and such game runs at 1080p on PS4 and 900p on X1. That's what's killing X1. That's why it's being outsold 2 to 1. All this other crap is nitpicky bullshit that nobody cares about. And much of it is opinions anyway. There's blogs out there where exactly the opposite sentiment is expressed.
