im building a new PC, got frustrated w/ bioshock infinite lagging on me w/ max settings.

And thus ends the PC/Console argument.

I think "I'm buying an Xbox One. There aren't going to be any more new Xbox 360 games after next year" might leave that argument open, though.

I'm sure you can, but that wasn't really my point. The point was that buying a new console is about as bad as upgrading a PC.

except the xbox 360 hit the market 8 years ago and still has shelf life left in it

He could just lower the settings to dirty console peasant resolution (640 p) and low res textures.

There's good news for home theater enthusiasts, too. Microsoft is taking advantage of the console's IR blaster in a big way. The Xbox One can control individual components of your living room setup — a TV, receiver, etc. — recognizing commands like "Xbox, volume up" to make quick changes. The configuration process reportedly resembles that of a Harmony remote; you simply search for a device in your home theater chain rather than dealing with codes or other cumbersome menus.

This says the PS4 is going to be the better console.  People who know, you say what about this?  Hemmy?  Saul?

It won't help play Titanfall any better. Graphics aren't everything. Especially when almost all multiplatform games are ports.

PS4 is going to be more powerful/have better hardware than the XB1, but it won't mean much since the vast majority of games will be on both the PS4 and XB1.  That means they will have to be able to run on the XB1's inferior hardware so they will be designed with that in mind.

So ew2x4 says yes, but in a really defensive way.  Clearly an xbox fanboi.  Anybody else?

Doesn't that mean that they will run smoother on the ps4 tho?  Like less freezing and lagging?  That seems like a clear benefit.  Nothing ruins a good gaming sesh like a choppy game.

So his ass is probably pretty sore about this development I guess.  Sorry there, hemmster.  PC tho.

Publishers are lazy, cheap and stupid - they spend 90% of their budget on advertising and voice acting so instead of optimizing different versions of the same game to run better on different systems they're going to be made so they can run smoothly on XB1.  If something with inferior hardware can definitely run it without problems, so can the PS4.

Games that are exclusive to the PS4 should look better than games that are exclusive to the XB1, though.

You're assuming a privilege of intimacy here mocat.  I'm obviously fine with it, but I just want you to know that I am aware of it.  It didn't go unnoticed.

My example would be Fallout New Vegas on ps3.  It ran like crap.  Freezing, lagging crap.  So if they made a game like that and it ran like crap on the xbox one, wouldn't it stand to reason that it might perform better on the ps4 or would it be equally shitty?

Fallout's an unusual game when it comes to how smooth it runs because it has issues on everything.  I've played 3 and FNV on 360, 3 on PS3 and 3 and FNV on PC.  All of them had their moments of lag and freezing, although the 360's issues were the worst.  In a massive open world game like that you definitely want to play it on the best hardware available, and next gen console-wise that would be PS4.  No guarantees for how smoothly Fallout 4 will play.  Bethesda just has problems getting their games to play cleanly.
