Oh boi, this is my first next-gen console war and it's truly a sight of what it does to some people.
Personally, last night my feeling was that Xbox had the clear advantage, but now I'm waiting for the first official next-gen only footage before drawing my own conclusion* (AKA, the coward take LMAO). I must say though that from the point of view of someone as uneducated as myself when it comes to the possibilities of the SSDs when it comes to the worlds and its influence on performance, the Xbox is looking like the better machine. I'm no dev or tech journo/enthusiast. This is the feeling I'm getting and that, by the looks of it, most of the people are getting, "secret sauces" - as they say - still to be seen. And also that one console could very well be fairly more expensive than the other one... or the other one being fairly cheaper... or not... whatever. Still too much for a gaming console, IMO.
Lastly, I've been seeing many posts already about how "Sony's going to show GOW, Horizon, Uncharted, Gran Turismo etc and that's it". Heck, I believe Microsoft even signed up several of the people that made those Sony games in the first place. It seems to me like an idiotic console war argument that makes it seem like if Xbox dedicated themselves to making popcorn LMAO I didn't want to get into Off-topic, but I've seen this kind of post several times now. Sony is clearly going in with an advantage for the upcoming generation based on the reception of the current one and stupid decisions from MS like making Live required for playing F2P online games... or at least that's my understanding, as I don't own an Xbox. That's the kind of shitty practices they should get rid off.
*With all due respect, the Epic Games title showed at TGA is not an indication of next-gen games... or so I'd hope...
