XBox ONE Improved

The Hardware of the XBox ONE will be upgraded before the launch. To better match the specs of the PS4 and to make use of the new DX 11.2 instruction set with Tiled Resources for bigger textures.

GPU clock will be increased and memory will be 12gb instead of 8gb.

In addition to that has the MS team asked developers for further suggestions to improve the product.

It seems MS picks up the pre-release battle again.

If this is true it might just tip the balance back in the favour for Xbox one for me, all we need now is someone to start selling lens caps for the Kinect and it's sorted :loll:

Paranoia or just realizm?

They know when you play, what you play, how long you play, how good you are at playing, if you're drunk, angry or relaxed. Combine this with voice recognition, face recognition, facial expression implementation etc. They probably can make a health analysis as well. In the end they will know you better than yourself. Combine this database with others... :shock:
Basic thing is, if you can think of it, it usually is true.... . :loll: Or at least partially. If MS says it is not true.. :liar:

IMO one of the biggest shameless Spy operations ever and reason enough to never buy it.
The Patriot Act is illegal. Especially if it concerns people outside the US.

I think it is too little too late. First impressions count, and it didn't go well.

I mean. look at the global poll....

I inspired that article :shifty:

And I think I'll contribute to that Poll and increase PS4's lead ;)

Wow, those are shocking numbers if you are M$.
Even if Gamespot is a bit Biased towards the PS4, those are polls a Politician would dream off.

No wonder they will take on the battle. They have a few cards to play.
Tiled Resources will make XBox Games look much better than ever before. And game support from leading Developing Studios will help too.

According to some other stats the Pre-Order XBox One Sales in the US are Sold Out.

Lets see what other Rabbits come out of the Hats of the M$ Spin Doctors 8-)

Yes, maybe so, but...
the source has confirmed that the increase in GPU clock speed is 100% true
:whistle:

:eeek:

All they make sure off is that there is something to squabble about every week.
It won't go unnoticed.

Well we don't know anything till some site will bench both consoles (xbox, PS4) and I don't see that happen anytime soon. I've seen enough rumors, speculations and blatant lies on internet on both consoles to be skeptical at least. The only thing I trust @ the moment are the official specs till MS says otherwise. :twocents-02cents:

On the other hand it is only logical that MS wants to get the better product or specs. In the end it all comes down to the games and support by big developers. And they both have that.

With adding the brand new Tiled Resources technology MS might end on top again. It will make new games look stunning.

In the end we can only be sure after the first official reviews and comparisons after the launch.

IMO there will be a lot less difference between the PS4 and XBox ONE than between the PS3 and XBox360. We'll see.
