@kentray1985: lol negative lip service! Is that like double double standard?? If they start doing all those things you say this gen, they are admitting that the realised an overpriced and Underpowered console, tgwn people will start questioning their earlier statements about how DX12 and freeing the Kinect will have every game performing in native 1080p. Microsoft are not interested in Xbox consoles, more in expanding the Xbox brand which worries console gamers like myself because I've invested in both current gen consoles. 4K TVs but not alot of 4K content so what's the point?? Even majority of PC gamers game in 1080p or 1440p! Like I said Microsoft just missed the mark on the X1 specs but that can all be sorted if they get it right next gen, there's always a middle ground for Consoles each gen which is good enough for the whole gen. We were happily gaming in around 480p-720p last gen while PC were gaming in even high res, so what's changed this gen that some people are accepting this changes? Is it because PS4 in most cases outperforms the X1 in comparison and you don't like how it makes you feel?? I've the accepted the facts and gladly enjoy both systems, PS4 for multiplats and Exclusives and Xbox One for Exclusives!
@obsidian_born: Why? When they are 2 different types of games, Uncharted games are first and foremost single player games and only just started multiplayer is not its major selling point, if you said hold Uncharted to the same standard as Tomb Raider then that's a fair comparison but Halo vs Uncharted is fanboyism at its worst.
Why not spend some of those billions on a decent spec console to last a gen so there's no need for upgrades or quick console cycles? Price is not the only reason some us strictly game on consoles , I haven't got time to be upgrading my console every year, check minimum required specs etc most etc I don't care about 4k gaming if it's not on a console, 1080p 30fps should've been minimum this gen and the X1 specs are not quite good enough for some games but 900p is decent! Some people brag about 4K gaming but spend majority of time playing games that don't take advantage of their expensive hardware because at the end of the day, if a game is good gamers will play it. Microsoft need to just concentrate on new 1st party studio games and the rest will sort itself out. PS3 had a terrible start last gen due to it's pricing and 1 year delay but eventually won the gen because Sony invested in their 1st party studio's and the exclusives sold the console. I don't think Phil is actually running Xbox as he wished he could but merely just lip service for Microsoft hence all these apologies and clarifications.
@Syphon_Filter2: Obviously you're not a console gamer! take The Witcher for example, what res and fps do you think it would be on PS3 and 360? Console gamers don't care about what PC can do as long as this gen of systems are more powerful than last gen, comparing PC to console is pathetic. Not all PC gamers have a high end PC you know that? Console gamers don't carw about PC gaming and saying it's the ultimate isn't going to change my mind, PC gaming is for nerds, that's the way it's always been so don't act all almighty.
@Syphon_Filter2: lol what's next gen? I seem to have a different understanding of the term, I thought it's the one after the last (360,PS3,Wii). Both PS4 ans X1 are powerful than their predecessors so...unless you're comparing them to a decent PC rig which I never understood why, shouldn't it be Nvidia vs AMD?
@Khasym: In business if you make up sales numbers, you can be prosecuted for fraud. Most companies try to hide their sales numbers because it means you pay less on tax.
@beantownsean: Which brings us back to my original point, console or PC?? Console gamers don't like all that upgrade shenanigans that PC gamers have, Microsoft just need to be confident in their product and bring us good AAA exclusives and as long as the specs are decent for a console then you shouldn't have to keep upgrading, it's one of the reasons some prefer gaming on a console over PC gaming! You didn't get my original point so I doubt this breakdown will do any good, Man you must be stupid or something.
