You will be suprised. I am...
Just the fact that the Xbox 1 has 3 operating systems makes me think that it will totally hog up the full bandwidth in a normal US home, thereby making anyother wifi device in your home unusable.
Their focus on the living room has the potential to actually alienate other family member if you ask me! How would you go about determining who has the control? What by drawing straws!?
I really think that it's good to be able to pick up a remote to change a channel every so often, and not have it religated to a single option.
I didn't expect that the PS4 GPU has 50% more power than X1 GPU.
In reference to your link I found this interesting piece.
"Xbox One reveal was the manner in which Microsoft's engineers - and Turn 10's Dan Greenawalt - referred to both "transistors in the box", and "transistors in the cloud", the inference being that Xbox One could evolve by offloading mathematical computations from the local hardware to the ginormous servers Microsoft is prepping for the new system's launch. There was talk of new worlds being generated in the cloud, and less latency-specific systems like physics and AI being processed outside of the console. It's true that this is an exciting prospect in terms of creating massively multiplayer open worlds where "next-gen" dedicated servers will be required to keep track of everything that's going on and feed that out to the gamers."
that was a pretty good read. Eurogamer did a good job of weighing pros and cons from the information provided.
@kratos...this is something interesting related to cloud processing as well: http://www.anandtech.com/sh...
Its a few years old but the time between then and now can lead to significant improvements in the implementation.
Actually, Ps4 has 50% more raw power; not One has 50% less.
"PlayStation 4's 18 CU graphics core has 50 per cent more raw power than the GPU in the new Microsoft console"
Meaning One has ~2/3 the raw power. If One has 2 units of power and Ps4 has 50% more, then PS4 has 3 units of power.
Because they were not reliable, trustworthy and whats not.
Though they were spot on and had official documents.
With that said every rumor/leaks proved to be true.
PS4's GPU is 50% stronger than XBone, how that will play out in terms of games is another question though.

There isn't a corporation out there that doesn't sell out privacy for cash. I also recall there being an article a while back about the camera tracking gamers emotions so Developers can see how gamers react.
Sorry maybe I like my privacy too much. Once some girls had the computer nerds hack into my computer to learn more about me. They saw every youtube video I watched, everything I typed, email, etc. Needless to say I was furious when I found out.
Heck less than an hour ago I was upset that google kept displaying my real name on youtube with a Google+ account. No way to add a username. Point is that until Microsoft makes the camera and mic optional it's PS4 for me.
im still getting a xbox idc lol .
Anyway, Sony should be commended for building a powerful and efficient console. It's going to rule the roost for years to come. I can't wait to get mine.
That video was hilarious, but it's the Onion, so I hope you know it's fake.
I pretty much assumed the video was a fake but it's so funny because it's so true for so many companies out there. Tracking us and selling our info.
The cpu is running on low frequency ~ 1.6 GHz which is half the frequency of most mainstream processors. And the PS4 GDDR5s latency is double the Xbox One's DDR3 latency.
GDDR5 has around ~8-10x worse latency compared to DDR3. So the CPU in the PS4 is going to be hurt by this. Everybody's talking about bandwidth but the Xbox One is going to have such a huge latency advantage over the Ps4's Ram, that maybe in the end it's going to be better off.
I would also have to give Xbox One the software advantage for developers. I will get both consoles day one. But, Though it looks like the Ps4 a little more raw power, it also has much worse latency. Let's wait and see what actual developers have to say.
But this is where I think Xbox One will trump the ps4 in regards to sales.
A. When parents, noobs, and your every day buyer compares consoles...They will look identical in regards to numbers. 8 gigs of ram, blah blah blah...They don't know nor care which is slightly more powerful. But, what they will see is all the EXTRA stuff the xbox One can do and the constant commercials that will tout all the cool things Xbox One can do..I also believe that the Xbox One will either cost the same as the Ps4 or a little less. Either way it will look like a better deal for MOST buyers.
Now sure there will be some geeks that will SCREAM that the ps4 has more raw power! But will that matter in the end if the games look very very simular? I actually believe there is a good chance that the xbox One will look as good or better in terms of graphics than the Ps4. I say that because of my previous statements.
Latency & software! Xbox One has the edge clearly in both.
Remember the ps3 had more raw power than the xbox 360...but did it matter in the end? NOPE! Most games look better on the 360 and it sold better in the USA. To be honest, I live in the USA and I could care less how either console does outside of my country. I play game with friends online. All my friends live in the United States.
I don't get paid from console sales. I'm just a gamer who buys every console every generation and I just want to play Great Games!
Just take a look at the article (I've highlighted the section below, look for the -'s)
"A follow-up architecture panel hosted by Microsoft's Larry Hyrb soon put paid to the latter, more optimistic appraisal of the situation. Very early on it was established that ESRAM is indeed incorporated into the Xbox One design - essentially a large, very fast cache of embedded memory attached to the GPU and CPU that helps to make up the bandwidth deficit inherent in using slower memory. So even without direct confirmation, we now knew that the 8GB of memory in Xbox One is indeed DDR3 as opposed to the bandwidth-rich GDDR5 found in the PlayStation 4
--------(and Wired's internal photography of the One confirms 2133MHz DDR3 Micron modules).------
Xbox One may well have a latency advantage over PS4 and power consumption will probably be lower, but GPU bandwidth - a key element in graphics performance - is indeed more limited on the Microsoft hardware."
U have to respect Sony for going all out, they took allot of shit from PC warrior geeks with there nuclear powered £2000+ sex machines and not forgetting the Nvidia clowns but at-least they had balls to show off PS4's specs and showcase a game that uses its power. PS4 might not be the most powerful system money could buy but atleast they came out with pride and said this is what we can do with our specs.
Proper FAIL from Micro$oft.
If Sony has free online MP, no fee for used games and a similar or lower price than the XboxOne then it's an easy choice for me, do you agree real gamers ?
Sony does seem to be in a trolling mood recently afterall. I have a feeling they are going to go for the throat at E3.
PS4 hasn't announced what they are doing for used games yet, I don't think Diablo 3 or FF has been confirmed exclusive, and GDDR3 is false.
Probably more errors but those make me believe this article should be failed.
I thought Xbox one doesn't support DVD? I mean why should they when they are not supporting AV?
Backwards Compatibility the ps4 is with game streaming ps1,2and3 didn't this person watch the ps4 press conference?

Some of them will soldier on anyway.
People like greenpowerz.
If there was ever anything that I respected about the guy, it would have to be his sheer loyalty. Dude simply refuses to admit any wrongs on MS's part...
now they are very similer colours i mean how many have you guys have asked for something but say got the right game but for the wrong console. i can see that happening for the mainstream people who don't know any better. hopefully the ps4 casing will be alot more distinctive from the teaser trailer they had recently, for gamers in genral it shouldn't be a problem. anyway those are my thoughts and has anyone thought similer?
RAM 8GB GDDR5 8GB GDDR3
It will have DDR3 ram not GDDR3.
I was on a website the other day, and this guy said how the sony radicals are fighting for life now that the xbox pres conference is coming how they would blow us out the water with 12 gig of ram 4 os 8 for games 4.6 tflop gpu lol a lot of xbox fanboys are hiding right now this is the calmest I've ever seen iGN VG-CHARTS and 1UP ever hope nintendo can get some games perfect time.
Sad to see the Brick power supply still in action in 2013. The batteries in the controller must be because Sony hold the rights to rechargeable inbuilt controllers. Will a lead be included or do you have to buy it?
And not the propriety hard disk again! Come on, MS - learn the lessons. Okay the USB 3 may come in handy - but expect Sony to have an Hybrid SSD Hard Disk drive or many users to buy one - 750GB currently £80.
Well done on the cooling. It seems MS realised in February that Sony has the hardware and have not tried to chase them (too late in development for that) with quick and cheap hardware with many failures. So plus points there.
There is now a clear choice to be made. 100% focus on Games or a 50/50 split (maybe 25/75) with TV/Skype/Internet, etc.
The biggest fear is multi-platform games. They were held back last time in part due to Blu-Ray vs DVD capacity. This time they are likley to be held back due to a system with 30-40% less Graphics umphh.
After watching COD Ghost I am more looking forward to exclusives this time around - not sub-standard multi-platform games. But E3 may give us all hope on that front.
Another thing that I am very impress with is the Dulshock 4 controller in comparing the new x box One's controller. That thing loooks F**n awesome!! Like the Xbox 360 the controllers will require AA batteries which is shows how much MS is trying to get out of people. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of batteries, you will prob have to go out of your way to buy a rechargeable battery from them.
Cant wait to get the PS4!!
Hard Drive not user replaceable
Controller using AA Batteries
No Bluetooth
Uses a power brick
No Used Games
Xbox Live, the service that keeps on taking
Outdated RAM
Looks like my old VCR
Thanks in advance.
