Did you miss where I said that I checked multiple sources? The latest that I check being ars show the XB1 with a substantially better appearance. You last comment is the point of my original post. Sure there are numerous technical advantages in the PS4 version. The XB1 is also doing...

In the article, they seem to make the same fundamental mistake that everyone writing about BF4 is making. Their knowledge that PS4 has higher resolution has somehow convinced them that the PS4 version LOOKS better when that is blatantly not the case. In every comparison that I could find, the...

If that was directed to me, the point of the post is the DF "results" may run contrary to perception by the general audience. Moreover, my statements needed context, hence the other games listed. In the post above, I was actually being extremely generous to the PS4 version of BF.

I think that the comparison results are going to vary widely. If jaggies bother you or you are specifically looking for minor details to nitpick about then that will influence the comparison results. PS4 definitely comes out massively ahead on the Jaggies. However, for me, I rarely bother to...

In the identical view screenshot flash comparisons on GAF the XB1 version looks MUCH MUCH better than PS4. Of course as an older gamer jaggies don't bother me so that influences my view. That said, the PS4 version looks washed out and muddy. This may be HANNA showing its worth.

The analysis is anything but trivial. If I recall they are using forest of trees analysis, which is a form of machine learning. Those are quite computationally demanding on the back-end. However the output could be very lightweight AI algorithm for each drivatar. The great thing about a...

Actually there is no data to support that assumption. We don't know how much customization that MS has placed into the SOC. What you described is worst case scenario which is no MS customization. That could be the case, or the superset of features could include things that even the 290...

What your analysis lacks is the lifetime profit of a Gold vs non-gold user, especially considering that MS could double their revenue per game purchased while still enabling publishers to keep more $ per game sold.

You missed my point. DX11.x is a higher, more comprehensive, more advanced DX than DX11.2 which is in GCN. Forget the tier 1 or tier 2 business, the question is if 11.x is tier 3 (if such a thing exists).

man, reading comprehension is a lost art. I fricken stated MS screwed up. They failed to understand the level of FUD that had been generated and how that would blind the meme-driven, incapable of logical or original thought, public. I swear twitter is worse than vCJD for diminishing cognitive...

Another point in my favor. You can't even parse two comments correctly. clear and concise does not equal fully detailed. Awesomeness was known from the beginning. Details and EVEN MORE AWESOMENESS was scheduled from initial reveal through launch. reveal - services, E3 - games, Gamescom - Indies...

consumers are idiots. Forgetting that was MS' mistake,

The full extent of the awesomeness was known from the beginning. People just couldn't read or didn't believe what they read. AS for the TV, MS clearly informed everyone that the reveal would be conducted over multiple events. Media, Services and Vision was first and E3 (you know that games...

You are making my point for me. They were clear and concise. They did make a mistake by treating their audience as rational beings capable of parsing a presentation.

What are you talking about. All of those statements are completely reasonable and underselling the proposition if anything. Given the relative weakness of the CPUs do you not believe that many games could be CPU bound?
