Thread: LOL at XBOX ONE..... RANT...24 May 2013, 17:04 PM Wasn't that just the earlier PS3 models that were capable of doing that? According to wikipedia, only certain models were backwards compatible. Anyways, each one of the processor cores in the PS3 were more powerful than a single PS2, which made emulation easier. This isn't the case with the Xbone compared to the 360, where you'd need to use multiple cores to emulate, and making that work properly is supposedly a massive pain. Either way, I'm now certain I won't be buying an Xbox One. I personally kind of despise the PlayStation-controller(THE LEFT THUMBSTICK IS IN THE WRONG PLACE GSHKNFGANFKJG), and I'm really not sure about how interesting the Wii U is gonna be, but if I'm going to get a console for the next generation, it'll be one of those two. (Also, here's a little article on the PS4 and backwards compatability, if you're interested.) In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: LOL at XBOX ONE..... RANT...24 May 2013, 14:43 PM The backwards compatability-thing was Sony abandoning the multi-core processor of PS3 because they realized it was a bad idea(supposedly it's horrible to code for it), which makes PS3 emulation on a PS4 really, really hard unless you design your hardware around it. It really sucks, but at the very least Sony realized they made a mistake with the PS3. Xbone not having backwards compatability was because Microsoft decided to not learn from Sonys mistakes and make the Xbone a multi-core processor, so that it couldn't emulate anything from a 360! ..and then they decided to dedicate 3/8 of the 1GHz processor cores towards OS and other dumb stuff, because only nerds are interested in playing video games on a video game console. ..and then they supposedly went all "but hey you can get computing power from the Cloud! Stop whining, nerds!". I don't have a realible source on that, but if that's true, games could use the Cloud to fill in the power that the console lacks. Those games suddenly require a constant internet connection after all because the console won't be powerful enough to run them without it. Ugh. In other news, Wii-U sales apparently skyrocketed in the wake of the Xbone-announcement. gg wp edit: now I have a reliable source, and this makes the system unfathomably stupid In: Hardware and Tech

I don't really think so. If I was interested in all the features, I could get them through other, better and cheaper devices. Having additional features is only a plus if they're not redundant already, otherwise it's only going to push the price upwards. I really think MS is shooting themselves in the foot here.

Fact is, its the 20+ that do all the buying. Easy access to game demos and now with all games having profile stats and online identities, it in round-a-bout way makes sense. You never borrow games games from friends? ô.o In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Xbox One Reveal23 May 2013, 18:30 PM Aaaand more bad PR for Microsoft then. I have no idea if they have anything they could do to antagonize customers further. The only thing I can think of would be to announce that the only power source the Xbone runs on would be the tears of orphaned children. In: Other Games

I can't quite remember if I've read that or not. Do you have a source? Either way, not being able to borrow games to or from friends is a retarded idea. In: Hardware and Tech

Thread: Xbox One Reveal22 May 2013, 19:04 PM Actually, that's just Microsoft right now. And judging from the general reactions, it's not going very well. In: Other Games
