MS and SONY simply have to buckle up and put some nice hardware in those consoles

And make it more expensive in the process.

Where'd you pull this statistic from?

I only run games at 720p and they look gorgeous to me.

All games on the 360, even on 1080p are compared to lowest settings (or even worse) on PC. You should see Metro Last Last (for example) full blown on 1080p on PC. Then we will talk.

Btw I was not talking about the graphics solely. You can quote me where I said anything about the graphics in my previous post.

I don't see anywhere in those links where it says 99% of all PC's can play games from this year at 1080p. 

Way to pull a statistic out of your ass. 

Hes right Cal and the difference you can notice too.I knew X Box would do this,the damage has been done though!

lol i just saw this, MS getting rid of DRM.

Much too late for that,you can't insult consumers and then say your getting rid of DRM.

PS4 is still cheaper anyway.

Well, it's better than insulting them and not getting rid of DRM.

lol, didn't Microsoft recently state that they weren't gonna change anything because of Sony?

It's obvious they did this because everyone was flocking over to SONY, they might deny it by saying that they "listened" to the fans, but it's clear what's happening.

What are you talking about...?

PC gaming is starting to look damn attractive, regardless.

Well, they did listen to fans... listening to them changing sides.

PC gaming is nice, but consoles will always be around since most causal people don't have the money for a high running PC that can support gaming. I remember people were bitching about Battlefield 2142 being PC only since most of the people that wanted to get it couldn't.

As discussed sometime earlier, the price differential isn't what it used to be. A lot of casual gamers buy PCs or laptops anyway, for web use, word processing and whatnot. Increase the price of that basic machine by the value of an Xbox One, and you'll have a reasonable gaming computer. Then you have the point that games tend to be cheaper on the PC, and the juicy Steam sales. Depending on how many games you buy, it can work out a fair bit cheaper.
I think the reasons consoles will have a market for the foreseeable future are that they're easier to use, are built around in-person social gaming, and are pushed by the massive marketing machines of some of the world's largest tech companies.


Anyway, back to the Xbox, the furore about DRM, Kinect, online authentication and pricing seems to have quelled the initial disgruntlement about lack of backwards compatibility. Genuinely asking this, not trying to incite anything - are the former really bigger issues for you guys than the latter?

Half of the original Xbox games I have can't be played on my 360, but at least I can play my 360 offline as long as I want. I'm glad they're getting rid of the DRM.
