Yes.

MS's cloud will boost the performance of the XB1 WAY past what the Sony PS4 is capable of.

And, Sony's cloud? Sony's cloud provides game saves, video download/streaming, and possibly 

some limited backward compatiblity. But Sony's cloud will NOT, will NEVER provide processing power to the PS4.

That sole fact alone puts the XB1 so far beyond the PS4 that the PS4 will look like a PS2 in comparision.

Does Kinect 2.0 cost more than $100, or Microsoft is just taking a larger profit margin than Sony?

I mean, if they remove Kinect, how should XboxOne be priced to justify the tech cost inside the box?

Wow. I had no idea my thread would generate so much interest!

What a difference a day makes.

Good morning gamers! Happy Independance Day!

You get what you pay for. If you don't know this, you do now.

Pay more, you get more. Pay less, you get less.

This is especially true with the new video gaming consoles.

I think a lot of people forget the kinect will be used for a lot more than just 'kinect games'. A LOT more. It will be used for almost every single XB1 game that uses a traditional game pad to further enhance each game in ways you have not seen yet. That's right, even in regular non-kinect games, the kinect will track your body movements and responses to the game directly enhancing your gaming experience. That is HUGE. You just don't know it yet, because you have nothing to compare it to.

Whatever short comings you think the XB1 has when compared to the PS4 (slow ram, ect), those are insignificant in the big picture. MS cloud is not 'hype' or vaporware, it's a real resource which will be taken advantage of by developers wanting show their skills, and who wouldn't want to be recognized for that?

Sony's cloud? Oh please! Sony's cloud is all out backward compatibility and streaming video crap, not about video game processing. Only MS sees the innovation there.

The list of XB1 virtues goes on and on. Yes, the XB1 is $100 more than the PS4. But thats because you will be getting a much larger gaming experience for your money.

Don't get me wrong. I like Sony too. No, scratch that, I LOVE LOVE Sony. In fact, I'll be getting both consoles and enjoy them both. But make no mistake, MS's technological innovation and it's $66 billion dollar bank account should not be taken lightly. They have some of the smartest people in the world working for them. 

One last thing. If you take nothing else away, remember this: You get what you pay for.

The Lithium batteries for XB360 have been outstanding, dare I say 'superior'.

I still have some XB360 lithium batteries that work just fine that are more than 7 years old.

Lance, I agree with you, some people have serious mental problems.

If you are that emotionally invested, you should seek help.

To all the Fanboys who are still crying that it's 'too late' or 'the damage has already been done'.

You are absolutely right because . . . .

 

1. You are an Anti-American communest and do not believe in capitalism.

or

2. You forgot to take your meds this morning.

or

3. You still have not hit puberty.

or

4. You have a personality disorder.

or 

5. You are more inflexable than my 95 year old grandmother.

or

6. Your mother dropped you as an infant.

or

7. You are cliniclly depressed.

or

8. You cannot change because your mind is isolated and rigid.

or

9. You have psychological blinders on and cannot see what is going on around you.

or

10. You get emotionally attached to brand names, (like Sony for example).

or 

11. You are mindless cow and will follow your herd, even if it's going in the wrong direction.

or any number of other unfortunite possiblities.

 

I preordered my XB1 and PS4 nine days ago. I was fine with my preorders then and I am 

fine with them today. Keep following your herd cowboys, I'm sure they can't all be wrong.

I never said that 'MS can reverse consumer opinion'. YOU said that.

So . . . So which number do you fall under?

I posted these questions in the AVS forums as well.

Apparently some people believe you will be able to use ANY HDMI device with the XB1 passthrough.

And yes, that includes the PS3 and PS4.
