Xbox One or PC?

I haven't visited this forum for a few years, not since my 360 red ringed and I built my first gaming PC.

I'd like to play Quantum Break and the Master Chief Collection. I took a look at the Xbox app for Windows 10 and wasn't impressed. Is it true that the Xbox app is all but identical to the Xbox One dashboard?

As I understand it, the PC will be getting all future Xbox exclusives.

I don't really want to buy an Xbox one just for the Master Chief collection.

What do you think the chances are of Microsoft bring the older Halo Games over to PC?

XBOX One or PS4?

I already have a PS4 and am quite happy with it. I also have a X Box One and am more than likely setting it up on the 27th when I get home. I say, "more than likely" because I'm not 100% sold on it. I'm liking the PS4 controllers better; was a easy switch
from the 360. And from playing on my friends X1, I'm not impressed with the Kinect OR the missing features from the 360 (No memory management?). The PS4 dashboard is greatly improved over the PS3, while the X1 seems have regressed from the 360 (I'm sure it
will grow over time.).

Now on to some of your points:

1. GDDR5 is not proven to run a complete O.S.. If GDDR5 was the gold standard...why bother with DDR4? My suspicion is

the PS4 MIGHT suffer doing multiple tasks because,"GDDR5 is not more powerful, it moves more data but slower. DDR3 is faster but moves less data and the reason PCs use it for system memory." (Thanks JWSpeed.).

2. In PC terms, the Xbox One has a GPU that’s similar to the (entry-level) Bonaire GPU in the Radeon HD 7790, while the PS4 is outfitted with the (mid-range) Pitcairn that can be found in the HD 7870. In numerical terms, the Xbox One GPU has 12 compute units
(768 shader processors), while the PS4 has 18 CUs (1152 shaders). The Xbox One is slightly ahead on GPU clock speed (853MHz vs. 800MHz for the PS4).

3. C.P.U.? X1 is clocked at 1.75GHz while the PS4 is clocked at 1.6GHz.

What does all this mean? Nothing. It's the software and online experience that will make or break this generation of consoles. And I'm sure EVEN you have to admit Microsoft is a leader in both.

Peace, J.R.

P.S. A random person on the internet (That I will probably never meet.) has called me a moron. Kudos to you good sir...I'm crushed.

GDDR5. ALL high-end gaming rigs use DDR3 with GDDR5 found on the video card only. Not sold that the PS4 won't suffer by using all GDDR5.

Heat is a bad thing with electronics. I'd rather have the supply external.

I noticed you left the specs off the PS4 G.P.U.. Wonder why that is? ;-)

[/quote] yep using a more powerful memory is hurting the ps4. guess that why the games play in **** 1080p instead of the superior 720p like the boner. what a moron. bu the way the ps4 is now know to run at 2gigs instead of the 1.6 like the boner. guess that
means a more powerful; cpu means nothing. like I said what a moron

[/quote]GDDR5 is not more powerful, it moves more data but slower. DDR3 is faster but moves less data and the reason PCs use it for system memory. The superior console will be the console that has more games a person wants to play. The X1 also play games
in 1080P in case you didn't know! What in the hell is run at 2 gigs?

 

I am sure they already stated that no previous Halo games will appear on W10.

And just to rub it in, i picked up the MC digital collection recently for £7, yeap £7 online, the xb1 so far has been the cheapest console i have ever owned to buy games for,i mean i got almost 60% of my 360 digital BC on it as well and my retail disc collection
is catching up on that.
