Oh, and by the way, I have two Xbox 1's for sale :shhh:

Well, it is pretty clear it'll be a ps4 for me.

From sony's wording with regards to trading games, sounds like they'll be using a similar method to Ms. Pc and wiiu for me this gen.

What do you mean? They've only stated they're not blocking them, which in my mind could still go either way. In any case, PC is exactly the same way.

Seen it all before!! the Amiga 1000 launch in 1985 was much better and more exciting imo.

M$ marketing speak is now as bad as Apple! I'm surprised they didn't say synergy! Where's the innovation?

Sony stated they are not blocking used games. Any more details on possible fees are unknown. Steam blocks used games, probably other marketplaces too. Wii u probably not

 

[slk486]

Wii u no

 

[Gouldin]

Wii U rocks that's why.

Steams Drm is fine for me, all my owned games go with me from system to system since it launched. No worry if my games will be with me for any new pc's or os's either.

Have a large xbla catalogue on your 360? Great, cos that's the only system it's going to work on, no way to transfer purchases? Brilliant. I understand it's because they've cheaped out and for x86 rather than ppc, but still sucks for the consumer.

I was quite impressed with that, nothing unexpected though, most of the new features were predicted.

It's interesting how it's now primarily a 'smart tv' that can play games, rather than a games console that has smart tv features. That is completely understandable because a games focused console is just not going to cut it these days.

I'm still not that happy about talking to my console (aka Star Trek) or waving my arms around like an idiot (Minority Report) but I guess that's just because I'm so old school (I do have an A1200 so I'm very old school).

Am I the only one here who noticed how similar they are to Google now? At Google's I/O conference they were saying it's all about 'you' and building integrated services around the individual, at the XBOX reveal MS were saying exactly the same thing.

Comparison Between two Next Gen Console

 

[Justin]

you don't need to wave anything, you can still use a controller.

and we are all still comparing rumours, we should wait both sony and ms should be more forecoming in 19ish days

 

[slk486]

I agree. Not nearly enough is known about the ps4 feature set to compare anything, let alone the actual confirmed xbox hardware specifics. Although the panel afterwards made it sound like the leaked specs were pretty spot on.

 

[tlosm]

... xbox one = a new powerful pc in my cdtv case

 

[DonAmiga]

When I looked at the video again I thought the xbox one looked like the size of an old vcr !

 

[Justin]

xbox one, custom cpu?

 

[Gouldin]

an AMD 8 core lower power cpu that you can't buy at retail or as an oem I guess. Likely because it'll use a modified non standard onboard GPU to do the HDMI In/Out decoding.

Memory comparison

WiiU -> (a total of 2 GB) Game 1GB / OS 1GB

Xbox1(a total of 8 GB)-> Game 5GB / OS 3GB

PS4 -> (a total of 8 GB) Game 7GB / OS 1GB (since it is GDDR5 further, it is 3 times earlier)

MIRCOSOFT THE MOST BLOAT OS THERE and I am not surprise!

rofl, if i didn't know better i would guess you are an MS hater

where did you get the 3gb for the OS figure? as Ms has not released this:dry:

 

[slk486]

Again PS4 OS footprint is merely a rumour. We have no idea how much will be reserved for their services, but better play it safe than sorry.

The GDDR5 isn't really that great either, it's only modified DDR3 sdram, sure it has a lot of bandwidth, but it also has a far higher amount of latency attached to it too. Still, will be interesting to see the performance it brings to the table
