@Utnayan: Dang, I didn't realize I stung you that bad. It's ok man, if you don't like facts, there is nothing here we can do to sway your fruitless efforts of trolling. I mean, you can troll all day long, but know that we are not blind to your agenda. You are entertaining us that is for sure. So once you get your big boy pants on, feel free to post back with proof and sources to back up your claim. Until then, we await with baited breath.
The Xbox One, is outselling the Xbox 360, that is a fact backed up with a source:
Which has nothing to do with an article you posted from way back in, August? Good lord dude, it is 2016, get with the times. I know that you are a little slow on the wit, but damn Corky, at least bring something to to the table to nibble on. We are starving here.
It truly is a bummer that the performance of the PS4 falls behind the Xbox One in the stand by mode when wanting to get into your games faster as proven by facts and a source:

I am glad that when I install games on my Xbox One, they generally take less than a half hour, and that is from a digital download. In fact, I was playing Tomb Raider: Rise of the Tomb Raider in about 60 seconds, as well as Star Wars Battlefront. I love how the Xbox One now installs the games in the background and lets you play as the remainder installs (just like it did for me in DriveClub). Sooo nice, awwwww yeahhh. More facts.
I am pumped that we will be getting Quantum Break on Microsoft Xbox One, and getting a free copy of Quantum Break for our Microsoft Windows 10 PC, as well as two free games, Alan Wake and Alan Wake American NIghtmare. Hot damn dude, just think of that. For $60 I am getting 4 games and DLC. When I get UC4, I will be getting a single game playable on only one console. Ouch, THAT is gonna leave a mark. And, I don't get any other games or DLC for that price. Oooooohhh...snap....dat smarts.
I am not sure why you are all mad about oops...like Playstation TV (oops!), PlayStation Move (yikes!), PS2 BC on PS3 (oops!), Linux on PS3 (oops!), SIXAXIS (oops!), Playstation Now (lol...huge monetary oops)....but at least we get to play an exclusive every once in awhile on our PS4.
Luckily, there are no issues with the awesome HDMI pass through on the Xbox One. What we do love is not only snapping our PS4 via the HDMI in, but I have it switch with TV as well, and the fact that we don't have to worry about input lag is aces.
What we are glad about, as gamers, is that Quantum Break is getting praised endlessly in the previews for awesome gameplay, awesome graphics and untouched story telling:
and so many more...just praise after praise of the quality, the shooting mechanics, the glorious graphics, the story, the gameplay...just raving. So glad I am getting this game, it's just going to be amazing.
But hopefully the underpowered PS4 and X1 get scrapped soon for the rumored .5 versions. These two consoles are struggling with 60fps and 900-1080p games. They are just what the doctor ordered.
Good thing we deal with facts on this site. I know all this is going to bury you pretty deep in your hole with all the factual evidence...and I know it will take sometime for your little mind to absorb it....so if you need to sit back....stop your fingers from shaking before tackling that keyboard like a hyena in heat on meth, we understand your delayed response. Just don't let it effect your heart.
In the mean time, I will run in and turn on my PS4 to get me back into my session of TLOU, and run into the kitchen and make an omelet while it gets out of standby mode. Looking forward to some solid clipping with Ellie...and hope I can hear it over the loud ass fan on the PS4.
@Utnayan: Here at Gamespot, most of us prefer to deal with facts. The Xbox One is indeed outpacing the Xbox 360. In fact, that flies in the face of your claim that it's not happening by any stretch of the imagination. Again, you go with imagining, we will go with FACTS:
So now that we have that out of the way (you will have to let that sting die down a tad), you posted a link to IGN, with an incomplete list of games. Not sure what you are trying to say. I already posted a bunch of games that are indeed confirmed at that link that are 1080p, not including indies. So, thank you for backing me up. Funny things is, MS listened to devs and consumers that said they wanted more performance and didn't care about Kinect. MS gives the consumer and the devs the performance improvement, Destiny gets improved, then only lems could possibly turn that into a negative.
Sadly, while the PS interface is indeed clutter free, that leads to a longer actual use in time. It has been proven to be a very poor layout, and it doesn't even default to the latest played game by default. The store is a nightmare, there is no menu customization on the XMB, it is slower to start from stand by, which is proven here:

And then what were they thinking, dumping a USB port and only having two? And no ability to have portable HDD's attached and have HDD's larger than 2TB, which gives it even better performance? Good lord. I know Sony tends to learn from their mistakes, but they have been making a ton of mistakes gen, not to mention, a very shitty line up of games. I mean serious, August is Until Dawn last year, then we wait all they way till last month for SFV, which is a multiplat game and bombed? Hopefully Sony learned from stupid mistakes like that (and Black Ops 3 which is it still falling behind the Xbox One in sales there too) That is not the Sony we have grown to love. I am sure they are taking cues from MS there.
The great news here is that most games are 900p and 1080p on the X1 and PS4. Hopefully next gen Sony won't drop the ball in so many areas, and they both improve console performance.
@Utnayan: I just get my information from the developers. Not only are the indie games running at 1080p, but so are AAA exclusives. Rise of the Tomb Raider (1080p), Forza Horizon (1080p), Forza Motorsport (1080p), 1080p, Ori and the Blind Forest (1080p), GTA V 1080p, Destiny (1080p), Fallout 4 (1080p) off of the top of my head. As far as games go, the Xbox One gets much more use. My Xbox One and PS4 have seen both exclusives and non-exclusives. I love some of them on my PS4 though. Until Dawn rocked, the shooting mechanics in The Order 1886. DriveClub is the best linear arcade racer I have played this gen. Never haveany slow load times with the X1 nor the PS4, even with games side by side. Sadly, the PS4 has just been lacking in games, has a subpar online, horrible UI, slow start up from stand by. But the great news is both consoles are not only doing well, but they continue to outsell and beat their old consoles going forward. Hopefully Sony does something about the loud ass fan in the PS4 when playing games and movies too with the next version. They really have been dropping the ball with hardware at Sony.
@Utnayan: Well, MOST games on the Xbox One are 1080p when you go by overall numbers, just like the PS4. But yeah, no crushed black issues here in QB unless you have a monitor problem on your end (you could look at restarting your computer maybe?).
Maybe one day as the generation continues we will see more 1080 games on the PS4 and X1, but at least we know they are trying. Hoping we get some good games on our PS4 soon too, I haven't turned that bad boy on in ages.
The PS4 sadly is dramatically under powered. I haven't seen consoles this under powered since 1972 when I first got pong 44 years ago.
@Utnayan: I love Remedy, but graphically this looks like absolutely stunning. Glad MS isn't hamstringing them on the PC port with lowest denominator development. I love there there are no crushed blacks, and doesn't look as washed out as our PS4 games end up looking. Remedy, next time please continue to form your exclusive partnership with Microsoft so you can continue to develop on real hardware.
It is really sad though that the PS4 and X1 do struggle with good games, having them all at 30fps and 900p average.
