Report: Xbox One received more positive sentiment at launch than PS4

Kinect is remarkable and useful tech--but I'd rather have my gums extracted as play a game with it. I've alway been intrigued by it's non gaming potential and I'M fully onboard with it's utilization in that regard. Sony had to repurpose their marketing message because of kinect. If you read the pre-reveal literature they had every intention of marketing the PS4 as a home media hub in direct competition with the Xbox One, complete with it's own camera peripheral. To their chagrin they found out they weren't competing with the original kinect tech, and the kinect 2 blew their device completely out of the water. Comparing the PS4/camera combo with the Xbox One/ Kinect, is like comparing a feature-phone to a smart-phone. THAT'S when it became all-about-the-games, because that's where the PS4 has a slight edge, for now.

What media features aside from hand gestures does the kinect provide that the PS eye cannot?.

Far more vast voice control
Auto-sign in with settings switched to your preference
IR array with the ability to control all your av devices
Calculation of muscle stress and expenditure
Heart rate sensing
Individual finger movements

I believe the Kinect can see which controller the user holds and during switching from user to user... There are plenty more though.

So, the definitive version of Tomb Raider is going to be native 1080p on XO and PS4?

Bu...bu..bu..but the XO cant display games at 1080p? Its de weakerz consolz in da erph! :crazy:
 
I preordered the PS4 version of Tomb Raider from amazon. I even remembered to go to amazon through the link on this site. Oh yeah.

Sweet. I never played the current gen version, but I saw the game in action at my buddy's place. Looked great. He was going through all the items and ability upgrades etc.... Not sure I can stomach $60 when the current gen game can be had for $20-30! lol Those bastards!
 
BUT Kinect 2.0 will be different.

It'll be more accurate. But it's still inaccurate.
It'll have all these features. But those features are already being ignored by developers.

And still MS fans insist it's going to become this next big thing. Sorry guys, Nintendo hit the motional control craze while it was hot then moved on. MS and Sony are too stubborn to do the same but at least Sony wasn't stupid enough to bank on it.
It sure has helped Nintendo out.
 
Not surprising to me in the least bit. Especially after Microsoft reversed all the policies on the Xbox One that gamers were slamming them for. At the end of the day the gamers on forums who are the most vocal only make up a small percentage of potential buyers.

There are millions of consumers out there that don't get caught up in the console wars and buy these consoles for what they're worth. Those people voice their opinions too at the end of the day and it looks like they have nothing but positive things to say about the One.

Why have anyone tell you ? Why not just play or use it yourself. If you think PSEye is capable, then you're never going to see it.

Kinda funny you disagreed with me and others over the capabilities of X1 when all the resolution stories came out claiming it wasn't important and how people don't care or notice, and now your cheering that the X1 has game that is 1080p.

For anyone who didn't play TR on 360/ps3 I would highly recommend picking this one up its a really good game with fantastic graphics to boot.

It does an amazing job of filtering out the sound from your speakers, so you can actually use it as a mic even with big speakers. On 360, if anyone used Kinect without using headphones, you had to mute them because of all the noise.

The new Kinect does a great job of only picking up the voice. I don't even need a gaming headset anymore.
 
Also when you watch a video like major nelson and make a voice command the kinect won't respond because of the Mic cancels the calls.
 
i know, your posts reek of it.
Far from it. But in true form, you like others want to down play 1080p on the XO and would rather pretend it cant happen or if it does, its not a big deal as long as we're speaking on the Xbox brand. If its on the Ps4, then its...ALI! BOOM-BI-YAY! ALI! BOOM-BI-YAY!! :bow:

Gimme a break.:rolleyes:
 
This is what Xbox diehards say when games like COD:G, BF4 and AC4 are deemed to look better on PS4 as opposed to the X1 versions, that the PS4 has achieved 1080p on last gen games/engines...

I'm too much confusion.

No. Its just par for the course for Sony fanboys to downplay the XO when it can display 1080p in any game. My only point was that its certainly achievable. Whereas you lot would prefer to ignore it all together and shout about "more power" in the Ps4 through 1080p resolutions.

Your post would be better suited for you, truth of it mate.

1080p isnt a big deal and its not important. However, it is an example that the XO CAN do it. Thats all. f*** all you guys are a sensitive lot. :confused:

Whats funny is that I never even brought up the Ps4 in my original post but it goes to show how sensitive some fanboys are. Relax about it mates. We get it. The XO has downgraded versions of certain games. I agree. But it still can perform at top resolutions. I could see if I weren't stating the facts and just myth making but thats not the case. Again, relax....

Ridiculous strawman trolling, nobody here said it can't run games at native 1080p. It just has a weaker GPU, small ESRAM relative to a 1080p framebuffer, and less ROPs to do it with, leading to bottlenecks and compromises. If they're both 1080p and PS4's hardware isn't held back, I expect it to have better IQ or avg framerate.

And that slower ddr 3 ram.
 
All I can tell you peoples is this. Yesterday eve I sat down in my recliner to watch some football. I executed these commands with the power of my voice:

xbox on
xbox watch nbc
xbox volume up
xbox volume up
<football>
xbox turn off
yes

I didn't use a controller or remote at all.
