Mr. GOH! Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 War analogies are used all the time in all sorts of competitive industries. Nintendo is the France of the Console Wars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pojodin Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Nintendo seems more like Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Nah, in the war analogy all for-profit companies compete for market share. Switzerland would be some non-profit or, maybe, some sort of third party company. Nintendo gave up and tried to fight a different war for a market that wants kids games, cute games and casual games. But it's still France in that war when compared to iOS and Android. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheMightyEthan Posted November 4, 2013 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Infinity Ward explains why Xbone COD runs at 720p, while PS4 runs at 1080p. "There's no specific, 'oh, well, the VO chat on Xbox took up so much resources that we couldn't do 1080p native.' There's no definitive one to one per se cause and effect. It's just an overall thing. We took each system individually and said, 'okay, let's make the best game for each system.'" "The Xbone is just crappier." - Infinity Ward 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) "1080p graphics." That phrase really, really grates on me. It sets off all my redundancy alerts. Edited November 6, 2013 by Mr. GOH! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 But it has 360 more graphics than Xbone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 It makes both launches look pretty poor IMO. Also, Titanfall isn't an exclusive, silly chart. In the long hall... I think that list of PS4 digital titles is awesome. Lots of stuff from well known studios and devs. If you don't want to game on PC then PS4 seems to be the obvious choice at the moment.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Isn't Titanfall coming to 360 too though? Discounting PC (this is console wars after all), it shouldn't be under exclusive if you don't need to get an XO to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Digital Foundry plugged a PS4 in to Xbone's HDMI input to see what happens. It works fine, except it adds some latency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
