  1. It's all about the power! Why didn't MS know this?


    If power is all you care about then you have some serious withdrawal issues that may need to be examined by a professional.

    The Xbox One is a great machine and the Kinect is a great add on when used.

    Stop complaining about power.

    Don't worry OP. The Xbox One is 100% future proof.

    To have such a discussion right now is useless. Don't give up your hope just yet. Wait till E3 and get ready to be amazed.

    Microsoft has some of the best minds in the world. Trust me all this known Data about the Power will not do the Xbox One right now justice.

    You have a sleeping Power House in your Home right now that just waits to be unleashed.

    Fact is this right now. All the current released so called "next-gen" games (Multi Plattform that is) like ghosts,ac4 and now Tomb Raider are running of last gen graphic engines. They do NOT take Advantage of the Architecture from the Xbox One.

    Look at Forza 5 for example. It will look "old" to what is coming this year in the racing department.

    So goes to Ryse.

    Just be Patient. Let us enjoy the current games we have. Microsoft made a Genius move with the One.

    All personal opinions, of course. Mine?

    I don't expect the One to compare favorably with the most powerful PC.

    I do expect for it to compare favorably against the PS4 on multiplatform games.

    The One's performance comes up short when compared to the PS4 in that situation.

    [quote user="Fake Hedgehog"] A: Why did you buy in the first place[/quote]I would assume they enjoyed their 360 and pre-ordered the One for day of release. How are they meant to know issues they will have with the console before they have the console?

    [quote user="Fake Hedgehog"]B: What are you doing on these forums using your double standards as an excuse?[/quote]This is a discussion forum for people to discuss the Xbox One, whether that be for good or ill.

    I can understand the frustration of having people complain about something you like, but those folk have as much right to voice their complaints as you do to say how great the Xbox One is.

    Personally I look at it this way. I upgraded from the xbox 360. I thought the games on the 360 looked great. Now the only power comparison I'm concerned with is the one between the previous xbox and the new one. Now as far as I've heard the new xbox has
    about 10 to 20 times more power then then the 360. Now that means that when they get good with the tech, that the games will look ten to 20 times better than the current 360 games. And like I said. Some of those game already look fantastic. So does the x1
    have enough power? I'd say that it certainly does!

    (No, it's not about the few exclusives) Was MS tricked by Sony? Was MS thinking to much about making money off TV shows? Even the PS4 should be more powerful for Next Gen. did MS get cheap with its hardware? And this about new ideas in gaming make
    next gen .....Its all about the power....

  10. @ braniesel1 the Jaguar was not atrue 64bit console it had 2 32bit CPU's. Anyway I kinda understand the resoultion and FPS thing console S sells for 399.99 and buy specs is suppose to be more powerful and has had an easier time with 1080P and 60FPS and console
    X sells for 499.99 and has a harder time with 1080P and some issues with FPS. The common logic says console S is better and is cheaper..

    End of the day content is king.

    Other than uncharted, the last of us and god of war I don't like PS exclusives and prefer Xbox ones anyway, so no amount of power will change that. Sure multiplats may look slightly better on PS4 but the X1 versions are still great and that's all that matters
    to me.

    I'm confused by threads like this. They aren't going to change the "power" at this point. If you truly cared about power you would buy a PC. Consoles are limited by the consumer, not the companies. $400-$500 and you expect a quality next gen machine?
    What would you expect if you bought a laptop at that price point. I would expect a low level machine that will last a couple years. Consumers got a great price from both playstation and microsoft. Microsofts believed that incorporating social media through
    apps and the kinect was a better way to approach a next gen console. What is innovative about the ps4? It is a low end PC. If anything I wish Sony would have added even better gpu/cpu's and increased the price a bit. I want a real next gen console. (I
    am building a custom PC when my tax return comes in). Playstation 4 did a great job for $400. Microsoft did a great job for $500. Quit crying.
