Screw you Xbox one and PS4 fan boys. I'm getting a paddle ball.

That's a fair shout. There's going to be different market segments for this and for me I doubt I could accommodate the camera physically, if it's anything like Kinect.
Looks like it could be fun for family situations though. I could even see that aliens demo being expanded into a game.

In the UK I note that the PS4+camera still comes in cheaper than the Xbone. Interesting.

For me the lack of an included camera was the biggest reason to go with the PS4.

At the start of the last console generation I didn't want to pay an extra $200 for a bluray player I didn't want. This time I don't want to pay an extra $100 for a camera I don't want.

That was a cute demo though. I can see how that would be fun at parties for a few minutes, sort of like the Wii was.

To me, the new tech looks a lot better !! and the xbox one looks better than the ps4... this is the first comparison I've seen where it stands out. It looks like "getting a new pair of glasses" to me, there is a lot more detail than the old tech.

Yes, some scenes looked closer than others but overall, this is some real progress.

It is an interesting comparison, but as RedSky notes, not really fair.

Part of the problem is the game is designed to work on the 360/PS3 as well as next gen systems/PCs, and that need will hold it back. Once they stop aiming at the 360/PS3 compatibility, it should improve a bunch, then another generation or two for them to really start optimizing things. Compare BF4 One/PS4 to BF6 or BF7 on One/PS4 and I'm sure we'll see improvements by then... and more noticeable jump from the 360/PS3.

My thoughts:

* For technology that is 8 years old, this is mighty impressive how small the difference is. It's worth looking back to see the 360/PS3 launch titles to see just how much has come from programming efficiency rather than raw processing power. It will be interesting to see if in 5 years, these new consoles will look equally miles better than they do now.

* Textures are sharper, particle effects like smoke and dust are snazzier and draw distance is greatly improved but ... on the whole, the lighting, most of the doodads in the environment, and the overall 'feel' is the same if you don't look too close.

* Sony's consoles seem to always display darker by default than MS's. I don't understand why for the purposes of comparison they can't pump up the brightness.

* With all the furore about Xbox One being 720p and PS4 being 900p (which doesn't sound too bad but is about 50% more pixels to the PS4), there doesn't seem to be a large diference in detail. If anything the environmental effects seem slightly better on the Xbox One.

Angry Joe needs some practice at his interviewing skills, however it's a commendable effort.
However, what majornelsol said is not that much different from what PS4 is doing.
Both companies are punting drm efforts to publishers.

It seems like a lot of people are just jumping on a big bandwagon as far as the XB hate. This is more of a series of PR mistakes than any real issue concerning the XBOne.

Since DRM is up to the publishers on both systems, the only difference is going to be the unified DRM system on XBOne versus a hodgepodge of DRM on the PS4. I can guaranty you there will be NO examples of a publisher releasing a game with DRM on XBOne and then releasing the same game on PS4 without DRM. It's not going to happen. Same thing for restricting the sale of your used game. If a publisher activates this feature on XBOne, you KNOW they're going to implement the same type of restriction on the same game released on PS4.

The only real issue seems to be the daily online system checks by XBOne and the hourly checks for online gameplay. This either affects you or it doesn't. In my case, it doesn't affect me, so it's a non-issue. If it genuinely affects you then you should absolutely buy the PS4, assuming MS doesn't reverse course on that decision based on community feedback, which they've already indicated is a possibility.

I suspect there are a lot more people displaying outrage over some of these issues who actually aren't affected in the least. I also promise you there's a large group of people who know this whole affair is overblown bullshit but they're not going to weigh in with their opinion in this toxic environment.

I'm not sure what Microsoft has going for it at this point. The hardware is so similar between this and the PS4 that making an exclusive publishing deal seems like throwing away money opportunities for a publisher. Its not like how it was with the PS3 and 360 where the PS3 decided to take a radically different approach hardware wise. Microsoft is betting on all the other features stacked into it. They've been trying for over a decade to make a "unified household media center" and this might be their next attempt.

The only thing that would've been worse is if he told people to buy a PS4 instead.

Also that reporter, DAMN he hit him hard and fast with that shit. Maybe he should be in the white house press core instead.
