Call of Duy beat Battlefield almost 2:1 on PS4

 

I think a lot of people just buy it to hang out with their friends regardless of what they do with it. 

 

I'm surprised Shadowfall sold so little compared to Ghosts.

Chartz numbers are not trustworthy.

 

 

Yes and....?  Do you think an internal power supply has enough power when not plugged in to power your console or something? 

 

The point is that if there's a fault with the power supply itself then having it separate makes it easier to deal with.

Ah yeah but it's looking like Ghosts will beat Battlefield again though based on their estimates.

I think one other point that people overlook about the media functions of the Xbox One is that: there are more media competitors than gaming competitors. How often does the "next big thing" become something everyone does and one ups the following year? Half of the things on Xbox One will be found on other devices in the next couple years, and trying to sell people on these features with such a high price point is only going to work for so long.

 

So if Apple releases their Apple TV Ultra (or whatever) and it has pretty much everything but the Kinect and gaming of it for $200...it kind of removes one of the biggest selling points of the Xbox.

Eh you aren't going to have less console problems because you have an external power supply which is pretty much what you said earlier. :)

I'm in Shipwrecks boat (ship?) on this one. Microsoft appears to be doing what they can to ensure heat issues are minimized. (Bigger box and external power brick) Every little bit helps.

What that leaves is the HDMI in feature (with guide), that I already mentioned. Yeah, it's a differentiating feature for MS. So yeah, they talk about it, as they should. Will it really have a big impact on anyone? I don't know yet, it's not even out yet. It could be a big deal. MS sure thinks so, adding that HDMI in port cannot have helped their $500 cost. So they think it will be big. We'll all know for sure in a while.

 

Well after seeing that video, my parents were asking if it was possible to get it without the gaming functions. And if it works that slick, I'd be interested in tv-only versions for the other tv's in my house. But I'm not going to buy multiple Xbones. At least not until the first one gives up the ghost.
