Well, for one thing, they're both using AMD 8 core processors, and I can't find any info on exactly how the cores are slower on the XBox One, I do know the PS4 is using a low power 8 core architecture, while no information on the specifics of the processor ability of the XBox One's processor. For all we know they are…

Dude, if you can sit through Inu Yasha, you DEFINITELY deserve some sort of reward :p

That's what I'm thinking. Achievement points were pretty worthless in the first place. If they actually allowed you to purchase reward, trophies, avatar goods, etc, then even achievements for watching TV would be validated. For instance, watch E3 presentation and get your avatar an "I was at E3" t-shirt, or watch the…

So, um, did you ever get all the achievements for playing Avatar: Airbender?

Geez, people are filled with fallible information. Both systems are running at approximately the same power. Are you attempting to argue the DDR3 vs GDDR5, or the CPUs and GPUs?

You do understand that attempting to argue the game as a physical product means they can still sell you the disk and not give a fuck if the game works or not on it, to which the whole issue of having a DRM code to access the game is completely validated, right? Considering it a physical product means the first sale…

You're making some presumptions there...

Why do you people keep using the car comparison? It's not even remotely the same other than there is some sort of transaction. Besides which, car companies ALREADY do this, what with all the 'certified used' programs a lot of car companies implement.

Um, even the expensive parts tend to have aftermarket parts for sale from someone other than the original vendor; that includes specialized keys that the vendor may attempt to charge you $300 for, while you can get the replacement keys (with necessary microchip) somewhere else cheaper. But I agree with your argument…

And I know some people cant afford buying every new game that comes out.

Not waiting for marriage, since I really have no intention of getting married (I don't even date, despite having a lot of women for friends); I just particularly don't feel the potential consequences are worth the indulgence. Dunno if that would really be considered 'balanced', though :p

Sorry, there apparently is no help for you, sir. Only you can cure yourself of your elitism.

I'm pretty sure the woman that clocks in 20+ hours of Candy Crush a week is just as much a gamer as you, bucko. Please stop being such a pretentious gaming hipster.

Yeah, it was a misnomer, actually. 480p was actually "enhanced-definition", not high definition. even during the PS1 era "HD" wasn't anything less than 720p to 1080p (though most you ever saw was 1080i). It got labeled "HD" because of the big push back then with the glitz and awe of plasma TVs. Kind of like how there…

"They would then have to purchase the right to play that game through XBox Live"

Yes, I'm speaking for everyone, I'm just being much less PC about it. And no, I didn't miss the critique; you're whining because you didn't like the costume. Feel free to go back and edit your prior comments to refute that... wait, you can't.

Well, it's not just me who doesn't care, NOBODY CARES! You seem to believe that they're entitled to serve your tastes specifically, and can't let go the fact that they didn't. Get over yourself, and just don't buy the game if it's that important to you, but I will have to reiterate the fact that NOBODY CARES!

Yeah, I have a few friends that worked in anime, and they occasionally bitched about newsgroups and bootlegs ruining their bottom line, but they ultimately acknowledged that the increase of these avenues were an effect, not a cause.

Yeah, I wouldn't blame the download scene for the crippling of the industry, since it was already in a nose dive (as well as anime) prior to that. The severe glut in Japan has lowered the profit line to barely sustainable there, and the lack of desire by most North American publishers to license manga titles reduces…

No, you can't complain unless you plan on buying it, or more specifically, NOBODY CARES! Legitimate concerns about a game that you are interested in buying, sure, but otherwise NOBODY CARES!
