The PS2 was by all accounts weaker in comparison to the Original Xbox than the Xbox One will be to the PS4.  How many of your friends / how many of YOU realized it at the time?  Im willing to bet not many.  The power issue is being blown up a ridiculous amount around here.

 

Now $100 more expensive... that will hurt the Xbox One.  But not its power.

the reason I'm getting a PS4 over the Xbone is because by all accounts it is the better buy. More power, less money, more open system. Sony's first party devs have a better track record than Microsoft's right now. I'll get the xbone when it's 250

Uh, everyone of my friends knew Xbox was obviously more powerful. Don't know what kind of friends you hang out with. The main issues with Xbox though were it release far later, and had no momentum to build on. PS2 was both released far earlier, giving it a substantial lead, but came off the huge success of PSone.

Oh all my friends knew it, but most people didn't. You still get posters even here on System Wars that claim the PS2 was more powerful. Your right about the games and all. PS2 was a beast in that regard. This gen will be decided the same way. Has nothing to do with power of the system.

I was here in the PS2 vs Xbox debate, nobody was taken the least seriously when they claimed PS2 was more powerful. You'll always have a few fakeboys making absurd claims, and that's all those claims were.

You know something bro? That - that is a really good post. A post I can agree with. Also, it was very brief and to the point. No time wasted.

You can tell the PS2 was weaker than the Xbox. Not that the PS2 didn't have gorgeous games because it did(Snake Eater, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, etc.), but games on the Xbox like Halo 2, Conker or Ninja Gaiden look better. Here is a video showing a comparison, not that Just Cause was the graphics king of the time but still.

The more powerful console last generations was ALWAYS more expensive, this time its the reverse... so please stop resorting to that comeback.... its really innacurate.

 

Previous GENS Power = more expensive.

This gen = Friviulous smart TV features and kinect is more expensive than power.

The difference is the most powerful console is affordable this time around. The ps4 is in a good spot in terms of price, it is a little bit more than a wii u and is cheaper than x1.

The GPU in the PS4 is considerably more advanced than that of the Xbox One's, there's going to be a much greater difference this generation.

Which, again, doesn't mean a damn thing because power =/= winning.

If MS were plain ripping people off by charging $100 extra for no extra gains, then maybe there would be a point to be had. But they aren't.

Its $100 more due to the inclusion of Kinect which has a good chance of working out for them, whether the 'core' gamers on system wars agree or not

Well this is system wars. you yourself probably won't barely touch kinect... yet give a damn if random people you don't know will use for dance central, fitness games and arcade games? really? oh wait, your as bad as heil, clyde ect ... the medium level trolls that just say whatever they think will arous attention most. The level of window licking is hilarious, using the idea that "Most powerful console hasn't won" as a negative even though the negative that made powerful consoles lose (price point of entry) has been completely abolished this generation. A gianormous portion of that 25 million kinect users dropped the damn device much faster than any nintendo wii. and god knows how many of those kinects are based on OTHER uses outside the xbox. Meanwhile the other console will eventually be outputing games that the X1 cannot keep up with and THAT will be a noticable difference... hell people feel that way now about 360 and PS3 and they are barely different. and PS3 is more expensive!

hardware plays a lot on the exclusive games as developers wont have to worry translating it across different platforms. they will have more freedom to optimize the game to the hardware limitation. better hardware means potential for better exclusives... and better exclusives is major console seller.

Yea, but remember... With the exception of 1st part exclusives, multi-plat developers will cheese out and make games based on the lower-end console so it'll port effortlessly to the other console. They won't try to tap-out each console's strengths. They'll just try to make a game that runs exactly the same on both consoles. So, multi-plats will look identical on both consoles, regardless of which one has better hardware. Only the first party exclusives will actually go all-in on specific hardware.

the ps2 came out before the xbox  and the xbox  was a brand new and unproven console. not a fair comparison.

The PS2 had a huge sales advantage so no multiplat developer took the time for the Xbox. MS were also still starting out so didn't have the strong first party to put out the graphics. The PS4 certainly has the talent to get a lot out of the hardware given there's ND, Santa Monica and so on to show the power gap. With sales it remains to be seen. The power issue is dependent on these two things imo, sales and the dev teams on board.
