Xbox Done? But seriously, can anybody tell me one positive thing about the Xbox One? O.o


The best thing I can think of with all the DRM on the Xbox One is that if you have a "friend" over who also happens to have sticky fingers and decides to help him/herself to the latest Call of Duty from your shelf, you would at least gain the satisfaction of knowing they could not play said pilfered game.

This concludes the only positive thing I can think of on my own, I could steal Penny Arcades idea "Microsoft made it really easy to decide what console to buy...."

I just wasted 5 minutes of my time reading the source article. aside from speculation and a re-hash of all the other E3 related XBO bashing that we've already heard 10x the central "news" in the article is information from a "developer" who wished to remain anonymous. Solid source there.

Do you know I'm quite honestly not familiar with one first party killer-app announced for the PS4, they might exist, but I've not heard about them. All I've heard is Sony slinging mud at someone else's efforts, either directly or through manipulation of the press.

That only applies to like features in the game, content and such.




See, whenever I hear Call of Duty Ghosts, I always think of:



Oh gosh I laughed so hard. I'm really really glad the people that made this had the sense to record swimming around outside the castle so there was no music in the background, just mario going sploop sploop :bortz:

I'm not interested in any of the new consoles, but I don't see how anyone could choose the XBone over the PS4. XBone is a surveillance device intended to track and monitor your activity and report it back to Microsoft, PS4 is an actual gaming console.

I don't know what's people's problem with this news.

The XBox One's OS will require more resources, will waste more RAM and will perform more tasks in the background, the XBox One's memory is slower and is more customized (added embedded RAM to catch up with the PS4), it is using DDR3-grade memory for both system memory and the memory for the GPU which is pretty dang silly and will cause performance drops and at the end of the day, despite similar specs the PS4 will have the edge this generation whether people like it or not.

Said "edge" might not be noticable in the first wave of Next Generation games, but it will surface sooner or later. We've been through this last generation - originally XBox 360 games "looked better" because it was easier to code for, but now games like "Uncharted" and "The Last of Us" give the 360 a run for its money - thing is that this time around, the PS4 is both more capable and easier to code for than the One... ;)

No one's refuting the hardware; people can't take Forbes seriously as a source of videogame information. Then again, this is the same forum who made a thread for rumors they read about on 4Chan.

People go to Kotaku, IGN, Nintendo Life, 1Up, etc for their gaming news, but Forbes? Who in their right mind would go there as opposed to other game-centric sites?

Citing Forbes as a reputable source of videogame news....right. What's next, using Kotaku and 4Chan as infallible sources? Oh wait...
Well, that's because we know Forbes Magazine is slanted to the point of not caring about video game news other than how it affects investors and fiscal reports.

Forbes magazine does not care about gamers... but about profits and revenue and stuff like that.

Exactly. To mistake them as a reputable videogame source is laughable.
