How is that a bad thing again?

You post a screen in which it show how dual core CPU get 48 and 43 FPS when stronger CPU get from 76 to 98 FPS using the exact same GPU.?

Did you even see what you were posting.? You just confirmed that yeah even using a R290X which is a $500 minimum GPU with a dual core CPU will kill your performance like there is no tomorrow,and that is with a R9 290X,imaging pairing a R265 with a dual core how much crappy that performance would be.

Basically you just confirmed that dual core are a bottle neck and that 47% is bottleneck by CPU.

i3-3220 sits at 95 fps and is a dual core

Great, but I buy a console because it has games I want to play.

lol, playing the faceless numbers game benefited lemmings for the first half of last generation, not so much anymore. I look foward to seeing how you lems run away from that 2 > 1 argument this gen.

That arguments doesn't work in real life no one looks at a line up and say uhh 360 has 5 AAA and PS3 has 3 AAA so yea 360 = superior, I choose 360 because 2 > 1. In real life people actually look at AAA games variety, caliber, on consoles.

Saying 360 has x amount of AAA exclusives doesn't mean anything when everyone knows the majority of those games only come out to first year fud like PD0 and then a repeat cycle of halo, forza, gears for the rest of the generation. Unless you were a die hard Halo fanatic xbox's exclusive AAA line-up was crap compared to PS3's

LMAO...want to put a face the the nameless AAA numbers game you are trying to play here? It will show that xbox's AAA line up of games was a joke in comparison and then there is the fact that the critically acclaimed PS3 AAA games proved to be a higher caliber than xbox's repeat cycle AAA line-up.

I see you are trying to be dense because of your fanboyism but you have been destroyed by common knowledge, please tell me I am wrong and I will show you exactly how those faceless AAA exclusive line-ups stack up along with the pedigree which each game was awarded.

You are only going to embarrass yourself but please continue with your rebellious attempts to suggest that xbox has better exclusive games.

Ok remain blind to the argument. Ignorance is bliss after all.

HD ready, Retro look

I guess the exclusives, for the ones that prefer those over other platforms'.

'Almost all of the most critically exclusive games last gen were Sony exclusives' your words, Matacritic proves you wrong

'Also there have been several comparisons done for PS4 and xbone controllers this gen and PS4 has overwhelmingly been favored in those comparisons.' your words, you proved yourself wrong because Several=/=Vast majority like you claimed.

Critically acclaimed = Review scores dude , are you really that dense

'i see you are trying to be dense because of your fanboyism'

Seriously? Me providing evidence=Dense

You spouting 'common knowledge' instead of providing empirical evidence= Smart

is it backwards day today?

The scores say it all kid, it's obvious when looking at MC that 'Almost all of the most critically exclusive games last gen were Sony exclusives' is just a BS statement because accoridng to the scores the Ps3 only has 3 more 'highly critically acclaimed Exclusives' than the 360.

Try and spin it all you want SONY drone, i Won, you lost

'please tell me I am wrong and I will show you exactly how those faceless AAA exclusive line-ups stack up along with the pedigree which each game was awarded.'

Already did that, reading comprehension FTW, go ahead, waste you time, it doesn't prove your statement either way.

'People should have the sense to know when they have already lost'

Kinect games are still in development. Microsoft has already said this. Also, there are still XBox One's being sold with Kinect. It hasn't been dropped. Not sure why you fools keep saying that. Kinect will be sold seperately as well this fall. M$ released a XB1 only SKU. That's about it.

Some advantages for XB1 are Skype, able to play CDs and music & photo files off USB devices. Has two HDMI ports (IN/OUT) so your able to play HDMI video from other devices through the XBox One. Something the PS4 can't do. You can actually hook the PS4 up to the XB1 and play it through the XB1. lol!! 300K dedicated servers that the PS4 doesn't have. Cloud processing technology. DX12 which won't be on the PS4. Exclusive games that won't be on PS4, Wii U or PC.

Oh.. I forgot a few. lol!! Control cable TV with voice. Snap application techonolgy, not on the PS4. Yeah you can play your game and talk to your friend on Skype at the same time. You can also scan your Redeem Code in using the Kinect instead of typing them.

Oh Yeah because those same majority of gamers and critics actually have some bearings as to how gamers enjoy the X1.

thanks, i do not like wasting time explaining things to morons, i was just going to let him think he had a point xD

Platinum games are near bankruptcy. I don't get why gamers hate them they make fantastic action games.

I'll just leave this here bro..

Since you like numbers so much I'll add that up for you

PS3 = 14 (including 3 GOTYs + 1 AAAA) >>> 360 = 10 ( with having a one year head start)

Only used AAAE titles because I was comparing the best games of each console and didn't even include MLB the Show 2009 or Ninja Gaiden Sigma which were both AAA even though I let GRAW stand, also feel free to bring to light any GS GOTY awards (showing they were the best of the best in their genre) that you can verify and I will add them.

Being real, 2nd tier shit you xbox fanboys hype like like Kameo, Lost Oddessy, Fable and Crackdown aren't high rated, best in their genre or GOTY winners at any credible sites.

The AAA games that xbox does have are vastly outdone in critical acclaim by Sonys deeper variety of genre defining, award winning GOTY caliber games. Even if you look Playstations 2nd tier AA level games like MLBTheShow they are still more critically acclaimed than xbox's 2nd tier selection...just do your own leg work on that.

Now let the damage control and xbot fanboy excuses begin.

I actually see MS offering better customer service now in regards to the Xbox, while Sony will not. They're the under dogs now and they know it so they have to.

Kinect, xbox snap.

Well, trolls usually don't have much of a brain. The "I cant think" pretty much sums up you and most of the Cows on SW. How about being able to play a music CD? lmao!! I can list many things. See my previous post. Hell, I'll just list them here since my post was ignored.

1. Skype
2. Able to play music CD and music/jpg files from USB media devices.
3. Has two HDMI ports (IN/OUT) so your able to play HDMI video from other devices through the XBox One. Something the PS4 can't do. You can actually hook the PS4 up to the XB1 and play it through the XB1. lol!!
4. 300K dedicated servers that the PS4 doesn't have.
5. Cloud processing technology.
6. DX12 which won't be on the PS4.
7. Exclusive games and new IP's that won't be on PS4, Wii U or PC.
8. Hook up console to cable TV / Control cable TV with voice.
9. Snap application techonolgy, that's not on the PS4.
10. You can play your game and talk to your friend on Skype at the same time.
11. You can also scan your Redeem Code in using the Kinect instead of typing them.

I wouldn't really call it an advantage per se but it's pretty easy to turn the xbone off. You can also unplug it from a power outlet rather quickly so it doesn't use up much electricity.

Other than exclusive gaming titles, the advantages the Xbox One offer in my opinion are Snap for split screen multitasking coupled with the ability to run more apps in the background than the PS4, HDMI-input for seamless TV integration coupled with One Guide app channel support, more media apps currently in comparison to the PS4 coupled with Universal app support along with Windows PC and Windows Phone devices, support for other services that I use on other platforms (OneDrive, Skype, Xbox Music, Xbox Video, etc.), an app-centric OS that allows for faster feature updates in comparison to the PS4 (as evidenced by the consistent monthly updates and update preview program), the Kinect camera (I personally like the peripheral and it's obviously more capable than what the PS4 camera is offering in terms of core features and functionality) which offers higher resolution video for Skype/Twitch broadcasting, has an IR blaster for controlling my other living room devices, and provides hands-free voice chat/navigation with higher clarity and more integration than the competition, Smartglass for superior second screen functionality than what the PS4 is offering with the PS app, and a larger cloud presence via the Microsoft Azure servers which provides some backend features for games like Titanfall and Forza in terms of AI and will eventually provide cloud processing for physics and effects in games like the upcoming Crackdown.

All-in-all, the Xbox One advantages can be boiled down to the idea that it is still the better choice for an "all in one" gaming/entertainment console.. That was the intention of the console since day One (pun intended) and it has succeeded so far in that effort and the potential for even greater media capabilities and integration is obviously on the road map.. has this translated to a higher commercial success in comparison to the PS4 in these early stages?.. No, thanks largely to terrible PR decisions and a higher price point.. But feature vs. feature, the Xbox One is clearly the better all-in-one device now and for the foreseeable future.. And that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned because I wanted an all-in-one gaming/media/entertainment box that can completely take over my living room.. No other gaming console on the market right now comes closer to that goal than the Xbox One..

HDMI pass through, UI, Media playback, and Twitch broadcasting.

Uses less electricity, I think.

You can do the same thing with the PS4. Unfortunately you can't play a music CD on it. lol!! Or any of the other things I've listed. Ignorance is bliss with Cows.

What exclusives besides Halo?

Dead Rising 3 is on PC and so is Titanfall. What you have left is flopza and Sunset Overdrive.

MS are more enthusiastic about big budget games this time around and have loads of cash to back it up. More stable and reliable online, better matchmaking and superior chat quality.

Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean they are bad games.

Why do you hate our yak brethren?

The wrath of the yak god will fall upon you!

Those Apps, TV thing does not exist in Europe.No Asia or Europe. So it´s totally unless. You can record also on PS4.

Kinect yes but Microsoft dropped Kinect which means it´s same PS4 camera now because developers said: Dropping Kinect = Nobody buys Kinect = No point to make Kinect games. Now i see that everyone are buying Xbox One without Kinect which makes this Kinect dead now.

Well now we found out that most Xbox One exclusives were timed exclusives and now this means Xbox One has only few exclusive games.

Forza = Driveclub

Fable = Bloodstone

Killer Instinct = too small demo game. Compare to PS+ free games and this makes this game pointless.

Xbox One has 22 games rated 100-75

PS4 has 43 games rated 100-75

I live in the United States so all those apps and "TV thing" are very useful for me.. and beyond that, surely these services will eventually make it to wider markets.. also the Xbox One will likely continue to have more media apps because it shares universal app development with Windows 8/9 architecture which makes it extremely easy for devs to bring apps to the console and vice-versa between PC.. Couple that with Microsoft's overall push for media apps plus the splitscreen capabilities and you have a system that will continue to be ahead of the PS4 in the app/media category.. The Xbox One will also continue to be the only console with that type of seamless TV integration via HDMI-input because the PS4 doesn't have that port.. I mean wow, just because certain services haven't made it to all regions make them "useless" when they are already available in major regions like the US and will eventually make they're way to other areas as well?.. please.. The Xbox One is clearly the better all-in-one device, especially in the US.. as far as other regions are concerned, at least those apps and features will eventually make their way there while on the other hand, the PS4 will never have an HDMI-input in it's current configuration and all indications point to it severely lagging in apps for the foreseeable future in comparison to the Xbox One.. I can admit that currently, the PS4 is the better pure gaming console due to these early performance advantages while developers get accustomed to the XBO's architecture coupled with the fact that the PS4 has beefier specs overall anyway, but the Xbox One is the better gaming/media/entertainment hub.. for the same price, it's just up to which of those advantages appeal to you more.. right now, the PS4 is winning that argument in terms of sales.. but we still have 6-7 more years to go sir.. and I don't play "sales", I wanted an all-in-one gaming device and the PS4 simply would not have sufficed in comparison to what I get from an Xbox One.. personal preference and all that..

true, Kinect has lost some of it's core gaming potential but it is still leagues better than the PS4 Camera in terms of overall features and functionality.. Plus lets not forget that there is still an Xbox One SKU that comes bundled with the Kinect so at the minimum, as Phil Spencer has already stated, the Kinect integration and functionality will continue to be improved upon in order to make it an even more attractive purchase even as a separate add-on.. Xbox Fitness is already something I use on a daily basis and there is no way I can play that game in it's current form on the PS4.. that speaks volumes.. the Kinect is also the best place to play games like the new Dance Central which is an extremely popular game.. No matter how you try to spin it, the Kinect 2.0 is a powerful piece of tech that isn't available for the PS4.. period.. Just like remote play via the PS Vita and the upcoming Project Morpheus are impressive pieces of tech for the PS4 that aren't available for the Xbox One.. but let's not pretend that the Kinect 2.0 is "dead" just because it's not bundled in every box.. if that's the case Project Morpheus is already "dead" right?..

and you can try and argue points like "Forza = Driveclub" until you are blue in the face, but it basically all boils down to personal preference.. some people will prefer Forza while others will prefer Driveclub.. some people will prefer Halo and some will prefer Killzone.. Some will prefer Gears of War and others will prefer Uncharted.. There's nothing wrong with that.. but to discount Xbox One exclusives because the PS4 has exclusive games in the a similar genre is an exercise in futility and doesn't make much sense.. That argument can be made both ways sir.. and "better games" is purely subjective by nature and can't be accurately weighed or argued because it is based purely on personal preference.. and if you want to argue review scores and sales, which is the more popular and critically acclaimed game franchise: Halo or Killzone?.. Gears of War or Uncharted?.. According to Gamespot, Forza Motorsport 5 is a AAA title and Forza in general is a AAA franchise that's sold millions.. let's wait and get a review score and some sales figures for Driveclub before you start to claim that it is "equal"..

WOW,

Just look at that giant wall of shill. It's clear that xbox one's greatest advantage is without question it's never say die and inexplicably loyal xbox followers.

Sorry but not everyone comes to forums to type one or two sentence of trolling nonsense.. I prefer to explain my points of view.. too bad more people don't do the same..

If you didn't want to read my "wall of shill", why quote and reply to it?..

Metacritic disagrees with your list, as i already stated , according to Metacritic the Ps3 only has 1 more AAAE than the 360 over the generation so your sums are wrong, go ahead and go over to MC and count them like i did because you missed a couple of AAAE's on the 360's side dude.

Besides, even at 14 to 10 that doesn't equate to 'Almost all of the most critically (acclaimed?) exclusive games last gen were Sony exclusives' so try again because you have still yet to prove that statement sunshine and you still have not factored in that the Wii has more high rated exclusives than the Ps3.

in other words, your evidence does not back up your initial statement AT ALL.

Nuff said.

1. Skype
2. Able to play music CD and music/jpg files from USB media devices.
3. Has two HDMI ports (IN/OUT) so your able to play HDMI video from other devices through the XBox One. Something the PS4 can't do. You can actually hook the PS4 up to the XB1 and play it through the XB1. lol!!
4. 300K dedicated servers that the PS4 doesn't have.
5. Cloud processing technology, which Sony isn't using for PS4.
6. DX12 which won't be on the PS4.
7. Exclusive games and new IP's that won't be on PS4, Wii U or PC.
8. Hook up console to cable TV / Control cable TV with voice.
9. Snap application techonolgy, that's not on the PS4.
10. You can play your game and talk to your friend on Skype at the same time.
11. You can also scan your Redeem Code in using the Kinect instead of typing them.

Hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

You even used DX as an advantage...hahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

My god you fake manticore..lol

Just some I added.

@SambaLele: "I guess the exclusives, for the ones that prefer those over other platforms'"

Really about it huh? I got an X1 because I knew I want to play halo. But DR3 was a blast, looking forward to QB and Sunset Overdrive even has me interested. Titanfall was a reason also, but after I got a gaming PC and wished I had waited a little.

I don't know about you, but I buy systems for games. I love Halo, I loved Gears on the 360, I love Dead Rising and Crackdown. Probably not any secret that the PS4 is more powerful. But really, if you're looking for "advantages," why wouldn't you just game on PC?

No meantion of Scalebound? Aw man, i love Platinum.

Also, TC, PS plus subscriptions are actually more expensive in some countries, like the UK.

Also, the Kinect i guess. The fact that it's optional is a fucking relief, but it it'll probably get some games eventually so some people, maybe for their kids, will want it. Also, wasn't it suppose to be an all in one entertainment system? Did tehy drop support for it, or are not going to keep updating anything?

Platinum games are near bankruptcy. I don't get why gamers hate them they make fantastic action games."

Yeah Kinect is imo only worth time spent with people laughing. Got KSR because my 7 year old nephew saw the commercial and was excited. Watching a 72 year old grandpa compete against his little grandson was worth the price of admission. My dad was so focused but uncoordinated. Effing hilarious every time.

1 Billion spend on exlusives which sony cant afford thanks to their finacials, think about it, every singe time ms upped their exlusives, xbox hardly had exlusives, x360 had plenty, xbone is gonna have tons.

1 Billion spend on "TIMED EXCLUSIVES". Sony does not need spend money on exclusives because Sony has 30 different game studios but Microsoft has 4 different studios

@Krelian-co:

Krelian, the game isn't going to suddenly pause and declare "I'm using the cloud!". It's going to do it in such a way that the user doesn't notice it. Just because you don't notice it doesn't mean it's not happening in the background. If you want an example that you can see then you can watch it here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QxHdUDhOMyw

As time goes on and developers utilize this feature, the games will get better and better. This is true innovation. This is more than just the typical "build the next-gen console bigger-and-faster" mentality. This is a completely different approach to game development. And since it's a new technology, not all of the best ways in which to use it have been discovered yet. Stick with your PS4 if you want a second-class online gaming experience with lag and host advantage. Move to XB1 if you want the best online experience there is. No lag. No host advantage. No long waits in the lobby. All because of the power of the cloud. Let's face it, it's an online world now. One System seems to have made a move in that direction. The others are left wanting.

It is better at taking up space that thing is huge and so is the power brick. That is all that comes to mind right now.

Well there are Xbox exclusives of course and I'm sure in a few years it will have a superior OS. It's a better media center too. Far better.

it doesn't have any.

The controller's joysticks position and Sunset Overdrive if it's any good.

That's about it.

Guess you can't refute any of it. That's probably the funniest part of your post. Trolls laugh when they have nothing intelligent to say and can't debate the facts.

i puked a little in my mouth watching so much ignorance, bullshit and lies in one post.

Add 3D Blu Ray support to the list once the next update hits.
