Xbox One Exec: We're Doing Things That "Can't Be Done" on PS4

@xbhonner: You know whats a shit box, your brain apparently.

@xbhonner: streaming is cool and yes was on Ps4 first but was not officially for any devices besides Sonys own Vita, TV, Phones/Tablets. I think it should of been universal to as many devices as possible officially.

@racinger: It is by disc or DLC. apparently if you put a 360 disc in the XB1 drive, it installs that game to the HD. The disc is needed everytime you want to play that game on XB1 just as it would if it were on the 360.

Now I understand there's not a lot of love for XB1 for many reasons, mostly because MS has their name attached to it, but regardless of personal opinions, this feature is a pretty big deal. Huge actually. You can't really lump PS Now into the same category. A streaming service that you have to PAY FOR in order to play "select" PS3 games, isn't true backwards compatibility. The fact that I can take games that I already own, put the disc into the XB1 and play that game without paying for it or subscribing to something is a big deal for those who still like our old games. This also goes for digital games purchased. If I purchased digital copies through XBL on the 360, I now have access to that digital title on my XB1 without paying for it again, without needing a disc...I just install and play it. No extra cost. Essentially if I want to play a PS3 title on my PS4 through playstation now, I have to pay for it, even if I already own the PS3 disc version of that game. PS Now is a cool service if you've ditched your PS3 and the games, but if you still own your PS3 and Games, wouldn't it be nice to ditch the PS3 hardware and be able to play everything on the PS4? Better yet, if I don't own a PS3, wouldn't it be nice to have the option of buying cheap used PS3 games and be able to play them on the PS4? This is what MS is offering. Hate MS or not, this is a good move and one that Sony isn't likely to support unless they want to lose the millions they've invested in the PS Now platform. To support backwards compatibility would be to compete against their own PS Now service.

@passionategamer: this is where you're very wrong. The word "unquestionably" is more misused in that sentence than I've ever heard it before. Hardware honestly isn't everything. Different features, accessibility, and all around enjoyment is what makes a console superior. So what if the games look the EXACT SAME on both consoles save for some minor details? Honestly the superiority of a console, is specifically determined by the individual user, not some jackoff sitting on his computer whining about hardware differences and such. You sir have obviously never heard of what an "opinion" is.

@vrginx01: Hehe, yeah, these debates can be interesting. But atleast I base my arguments on logic and facts.

@fatboywonder: To get a little pedantic here, X1 and PS4 will never play the vast majority of games at 4K. A very simple indie game they'd be able to manage most likely. Essentially, the PS4 and X1 will never be able to play the games you'd want them to in 4K.

As for Kudo's comments, Nintendo has the most and best exclusives. Everyone knows this so why even bother saying otherwise? As for cross-buy and cross-play, well, Sony pretty much invented cross-buy and they have a few games that do cross-play in the terms Kudo means (instead of how Sony defines cross-play). Rocket League is cross-play in that regards and yet the vast majority of console gamers I know of tick the box to disable it since there are already PC exploits for Rocket League. I seem to remember similar issues when Microsoft brought out Shadowrun last generation and PC players absolutely destroyed console player largely thanks to KB+M and people pitched a fit. I'm not sure how they plan to overcome that issue this time, but I guess they can still hang their hat on the backward compatibility thing, although I do believe WiiU is also BC and was from the jump.

Kind of funny how both Sony and Microsoft just never even acknowledge Ninty's existence. Last generation Wii had such an insurmountable lead that we heard PR BS from both that they didn't consider themselves in direct competition with the Wii, and now that the WiiU is dead in the water sales wise (despite having the best exclusive catalog of the bunch), it's pretty much the same talking points if and when it comes up. Hey fellas? Nintendo makes consoles, you make consoles. You are competitors.

@Sharkspawn80: Lol, Nintendo is a joke. They make some decent games, but their hardware is awful, and has been since the N64. They aren't really in competition with Xbox or PlayStation anymore. They've got one foot in the grave. Why anyone even bothers talking about Nintendo in discussions like this is beyond me.

@passionategamer: Come on guy. I agree with you that the ps4 has a larger playerbase than xbone or any other console but to say the PC has a small community is just crazy don't you think. Just LoL alone had an average of 27 million players daily as of January and a total of 67 million monthly... that's more that the ps4 units sold that was reported to be 23 million back in April? Let's try to stick to facts when having these discussions ok?

@passionategamer: I agree. I too preferred the 360 over PS3 at least until the end of their respective lives which i leaned over to PS3 because of their killer exclusives.

@passionategamer: "and that's coming from someone who preferred the 360 over the PS3." So what does that make you some type of reliable source? Do us a favor and stick with PS, a console thats worse than its predecessor with the exception of a supposed 1080p 60fps upgrade and we'll stay with our console that gets better every month, that if we wanted to play the top PS exclusives all we'd have to do is sign into MS windows and play it there.

@Marky360: that was my first thought. I own both as well, but prefer getting most games on my x1. It would be nice to play some games with my ps4 friends occasionally, without buying 2 copies of games, like I have with Madden and NBA as soon as the price drops.

@Marky360: shhh no one cares.

@209asian: It's obvious you're retarded.

@209asian:

R u kidding me bro? U really reaching with these claims. Sony needs to give the ponies some money in savings because they ripping them off with PS NOW. Charging them for games they already own. Backwards Compatability trumps that. The DVR features will soon replace some people's real DVRs at home just get an external hard drive. And all Sony cares about  anyways is hardware sales and 1080p resolution. That's y they r leading in hardware sales and have no games. All AAA games Sony had for 2015 r Bloodborne and The Order. And the Order did horribly. Microsoft for 2015 Halo 5, Forza 6, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and They r the only company offering a AAA game this generation free to play in Fable Legends. Lol.. Did u say AAA third party titles. That's funny cause Sony is losing money trying to lock up third party deals. By the way, Sony wish they could develop a controller like the Elite one Microsoft has. Phil Spencer knows best gaming engineers in the world. And 2016 looks like an insane lineup for Microsoft with: Recore/Sea of Thieves/Quantum Break/Gears 4/Crackdown/Scalebound/Halo Wars 2. Then a large number of Indies like Cuphead, Inside, Below, Tacoma. Wow.. Sony better hope Microsoft does not figure out how to Stream PC games To Xbox One. The new UI with Cortana will be killer as well.

@209asian: Dude I still have a VCR and its the best picture quality I've ever seen. Its a Mitsubishi I mean they make cars dude...ASIA...
