The part of this claim that amuses me the most is the one about Epic making a game for X1 based on the Samaritan demo. That demo was made as a plea for 2.5 tflops consoles and X1 is only half of that.

I find it strange that there isn't any reviews for the 360 version of Titanfall on Metacritic at all. The game is out now, isn't it? Don't review sites think people would be interested in knowing what the 360 version is like?
Edit: There's one review for Titanfall X360 at Metacritic. It's from Game Informer. One?!!!
Too bad he wasn't in charge prior to the design of X1 being set in stone. There's nothing he can do to save X1 from its weak specs.
I'll tell ya what though, a sequel to Lost Odyssey would cause me to buy a X1. But given the specs it would have to be $100 cheaper than PS4.
What he said is common sense. X1 will improve because of software/driver improvements (And so will PS4) but PS4 will always be ahead of it in the graphics rendering department because it physically has more graphics silicon available to it.
Well, there are still hundreds of games on PC with controller support. Basically every single multiplatform game on consoles and PC for instance, as well as tons of PC exclusives.
And you don't move characters around with just a keyboard. You move them around with a keyboard in conjunction with a mouse.
I would argue that the mouse is more of what you use to aim or to face your character in a direction while the keyboard keys are what you actually move with. But regardless, the keyboard is the part of the mouse/keyboard duo that makes that control type abysmal ... at least to me.
And I'm not arguing that mouse/keyboard controls should be dumped for controllers. But it would be nice if more games on PC offered both, allowing you to pick one or the other.
Buying either console means getting a very tiny amount of exclusives for a very large amount of money.
Better off just putting that money towards a PC.
I've thought about doing that but there are two things currently giving me pause (Well, in addition to the high price of the hardware):
1: Litecoin miners have dramatically inflated the prices of the 290 and 290X and those were the cards I was most seriously looking at.
2: Not enough PC games have native controller support. I was considering picking up The Witcher off of Steam (Hoping it would run decently enough on my laptop) cuz it isn't on any consoles but once I saw it has no native controller support I lost interest immediately. If I can't play games on PC like I would a console then I don't want to game on PC.
If every game on PC had controller support then PC would be a much worse platform.
There are only so many genres a controller supports, and many genres it can only support a very low amount of sub-genres in. For example when it comes to FPS games you get slow, sluggish, and mostly CoD-clone gameplay on consoles because other stuff just doesn't really function well.
The PC is amazing because it offers what consoles offer + all the types of games that can only be played with keyboard/mouse, flight sticks, and all that other cool stuff.
If you only want a PC to play console games at a higher res then I'd say you're getting into PC gaming for the wrong reasons because there are thousands of awesome PC games without controller support.
Well, I think a lot of PC guys misrepresent PC gaming then. All the time I see console gamers saying they don't want to play on PC because they hate mouse/keyboard control (As I do) and then a PC guy will come back with "Oh, get with the times! You can kick back on the couch and play it with a controller just like a console" while not bothering to mention that's just with a few games. I expected RTS games and stuff like that to not have controller support but something like The Witcher not having it shocked me. I absolutely despise mouse/keyboard control. The mouse part isn't the big problem, the keyboard is. Moving a character around with keyboard keys is an utterly terrible experience and I can't understand how anyone can tolerate it. If that's what it has to be I'll be sticking with consoles despite the dreadful tech and high software prices.
You can go wrong because PS4 is underpowered and X1 is ridiculously underpowered. And that's on day 1. Imagine a few years from now.

Why buy new? Cuz for a mere $5 more you know there wasn't a cockroach orgy taking place on your disc at some point.
