PS4 vs Xbox One

[Mike Hoxbig]

Makes you wonder though. Now that consoles are on x86 architecture, it's actually a viable thing to do, assuming they tay with x86 going forward(which is likely).

Would fix the backwards compatibility issues of consoles as well.

Only barrier would be consumers that expect consoles to be just plug and play.

MS managed to get backwards compatible right though. Granted you have to "download an xbox" for each game, which is about 500MB, it works great...

Well that's an interesting fetish

I wouldn't mind the consoles being modular so you can upgrade. It's the next logical step.

That would increase production cost for starters so even the bottom range will cost more than a non-modular bottom range one with the same specs.

Anyway what you propose already exists, it's called a PC

Think about the positioning of the consoles though.

But anyway:

Have to agree, madness releasing same day as Fall Out 4.

This whole exclusive release thing is also stupid if you ask me.

True but I don't like dragging my PC to the living room. Sounds like a 747 taking off

That's you put together a purpose built HTPC.

Can it play the latest games?

Can it play the latest games?

Either:

a) Make your main PC quieter with a better case, water cooling and bigger fans

or

b) Use a little quiet computer such as an HTPC or laptop and stream your games from your main PC to your lounge over LAN

Profit.

Yeah. Just choose a gfx card with a silent custom cooler. The Asus Strix cooler is super quiet.

Not a fetish. Not everything outrageous need be sexual.

PS4 has a greater variety of stuff. Simply said.

To much logic here

Hey buddy how you doing ?

i got one of those and the 3m charging cable and to be honest i use the charging cable more frequently
the charging dock is a bit awkward with that adaptor but a must have if you play costantly with two or more people but if its just one then i'll say just go for the 3m charging cable.
