If the only difference between X1 and PS4 turns out to be 900p vs 1080p I'll be surprised. Seems to me X1 will have to sacrifice something else as well but time will tell I guess.

I think Xbox has been ran fine with the exception of the Mattrick years. That period was a disaster and they're still suffering from it because he oversaw the design of X1.

I doubt it cuz Halo has always featured sterile, empty environments. I'm sure it'll be plenty shiny and have nice effects but there will also be lots of enormous barren rooms.

Ummm, no. But with so many Japanese gamers abandoning consoles for mobile there's good reason for that.

For those complaining about Witcher 3's graphics shut up already! It's a huge open world game that rivals the visuals of small linear games and even exceeds many of them. That's a big accomplishment.

My only concern about this game is that they might be hyping it too much. Seems like I can't go a day without a new trailer or article about it emerging. The more you talk about something the more unrealistic expectations can become. Then when you get expectations up through the roof critics start judging against those expectations rather than the product itself.

I still admire Ronald Reagan, think he was the greatest president of my lifetime. But he did make a huge mistake with taxes. I think his heart was in the right place, he just underestimated the comic book-like greed of the super rich. Politicians nowadays have been made well aware of how greedy they are but won't do anything about it because they're owned by them.

Some do (Their numbers are quickly dwindling though), but there are plenty of people in American automotive manufacturing plants under UAW that make as little as $10 an hour. When free trade became a big thing that was the beginning of the end for private unions in America.

Lol, we have a union, UAW. We didn't prior to the buyout, UAW came with the deal. Yep, getting unionized was an ENORMOUS step backwards for employees here. Pretty messed up, eh? Public unions still wield considerable power cuz ya can't move a state or city. But private unions are worthless now because of the global economy. My union's only function is to take a cut of my pay. They don't want us losing our jobs entirely because that would mean they lose their cut but lowered wages and lost benefits are fine to them cuz they still get payed that way.

Yeah, my advice to young people is to do everything they can to become stockholders because the way things work nowadays is that stockholders are the only people that matter. It ain't about what wage ya earn (That can be snatched away in an instant) but what ya own and how much of it.

I work in a manufacturing plant in the automotive industry. Unfortunately not at GM or something like that ... those guys still make decent wages and benefits right now. But my company does make parts for GM and other places you've heard of like Harley Davidson. My shop was a pretty good blue collared job before it got bought by a publicly traded company. Now everything has gone to hell. The company is making more money than it ever has, in fact every year tends to beat out the previous record year. But for employees the change has been terrible. Most of the benefits employees once had are now gone and the few left are fought for each and every contract. Wages have gone down instead of up. It's especially bad for new hires because everything is tiered now and they make considerably less money than somebody hired several years ago despite doing the same job. It's very bizarre to be at meetings where management is talking about how great the company is doing, act as though we're practically printing money, and then when contract time comes all ya hear is how we need to be getting less for what we do than we were before. At this place the stockholder is everything, the employee nothing ... and I mean NOTHING. Was so much better when there wasn't a crapload of stockholders in the equation.
