PS4 vs Xbox One

[Hiryo]

look how some ps3 games drop frames this gen.

IIRC it of depends on the system the game is developed for and which it is ported to. See Fallout, Bayonetta, Borderlands between the PS3 and 360. That isn't to say PS4 can't have 60fps vs 30 on XO on multiplat games, but don't bet your money against developer's "system limitations"

Edit: also COD Ghosts already claimed 60 FPS on XO

[Kaisha]

Knowing MS's bullshit, I doubt they'd allow a competing platform to have such a pronounced visual advantage such as a doubled framerate on multi-plats.

[Avarice]

PC and PS4 for sure; most likely a WiiU down the road when I have extra money. If Microsoft wants me to get an Xbox One at this point, there going to have to pull a hell of a 180.

[Brill Weave]

PS4 for sure. I don't want an all purpose "entertainment" console. I want a console that is devoted to videogaming with extras on the side. MS overreached on this one.

What?

[Shiyo]

re: the $500 price tag, isn't that about what new iPhones go for at launch? I think people will make room in their budgets for it.

My 32 GB iphone was $300, the 16 and 8 GB were much cheaper.

[Ratatapa]

iPhone are 600-700 if you buy then unlock

"Why Xbox One Is Better Than PS4 - Hint: The Future of Consoles Isn't Gaming"

Ps4/PC lets go~

[TacoTaru]

Supremely high expectations have been a large part of this generation, and it appears the next one will continue the tradition. Microsoft is convinced the combined might of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will see over one billion consoles sold.

Firstly, though, Microsoft wants to shift over 100 million Xbox 360s.

"We believe over the next five years we can break a 100m unit installed base," MS' Yusuf Mehdi told OXM. "That's something we're shooting for, it's not a financial plan as such, it's just rough numbers if you will.

"To sell another 25m, half of those will probably come from replacements, but half will come from new buyers. And the way we'll break into those segments is by hitting new price points, getting new classes of entertainment to come with the Xbox, and breaking into new customer segments. So you'll see the Xbox 360 continue to exist, even as we launch the next generation Xbox One."

A high goal for the 360, but MS wants even bigger things for the Xbox One. Microsoft is using past growth of the console market to predict the jump to a billion sales.

"Every generation, as you've probably heard, has grown approximately 30%," Mehdi suggested. "So this generation is about 300m units. Most industry experts think the next generation will get upwards of about 400m units. That's if it's a game console, over the next decade.

"We think you can go broader than a game console, that's our aim, and you can go from 400m to potentially upwards of a billion units. That's how we're thinking of the Xbox opportunity as we go forward."

Of course, it's worth pointing out that there was a lot less competition back when you such growth was being experienced. It's very worth pointing out. Over time, all audiences fragment as entertainment broadens and new distribution channels open up. Microsoft may think "going broader" with Xbox One can help it, but all I see is Microsoft trying to fight on more fronts than it can handle. Of course, I could be wrong, and we could indeed see a billion consoles sold.

Right now, though, I say the industry as a whole would be a lot happier if it started dramatically lowering its expectations.

I really don't have any words, I just laughed and shook my head.

What exactly does this mean... Replacements?

Replacing Xbox 360s or replacing broken X1s?

[Brill Weave]

360's is what I took from that comment.

[Amiricle]

360's is what I took as well which still makes no sense to me as they are giving no incentive to get current Xbox owners to upgrade. Quite the opposite really.

[Virg]

Upgrade from 360 to a PS4 sure.

[Viq]

How could that mean anything but replacing broken XB1s? You think they're banking on selling 100m units to people that didn't buy a 360, but only 12.5m units to people that did?

EDIT: Upon rereading, I see where I probably read it wrong the first time. I still think they mean broken units, just for the lulz

They are talking about reaching 100 mil Xbox 360 sales, and they are 25 million away from that. Of those 25 million, 50% will be replacements, likely from breakage, etc.

[Serra]

Well, without backwards compatibility, if your 360 breaks, you'll have to buy a new one, or your library is worthless.. That said, I imagine most people won't care that much about playing old games and will just get an XB1 if their 360 breaks. How did the PS2 do after the PS3 was released -- I know they kept it around forever, but how were its sales?

[TacoTaru]

Pretty sure PS2 sales were pretty solid for a long, long time. Gamestop just recently announced they would finally stop taking trade-ins.
