I guess this mean Xbox one won't be as epic as was initially spammed by its makers? If it is the case I don't understand why . if I was bill gates I would be pissed . because this time the Xbox one as way more power then needed and game Dev don't seem to be able to harness it . might be time for Microsoft to make a game so Dev can copy and paste code so they don't have to think too hard . men its sad . these days game Dev only can copy and paste .since ms went a whole different way now you see who can really Dev game and the other who just copy and paste (with the error ) ROFL .hopefully ms sent a bunch of hardcore coder to halo Dev to help them .why ? Halo is the reason people baught Xbox in the past .
I mean, seriously? XBO is so incredible, and it's just those stupid devs (all of them!) that can't code or anything and are holding it back?
Just like with the previous consoles the devs will create better games as they gain experience and there is better support but trying to come up with some great conspiracy to explain mediocre performance is nothing more then a poor attempt at trolling. And yes, in that case i fell for it and am feeding the troll.
Do you honestly think, despite what we see above in this thread and all, that MS is stupid enough to create amazing hardware and then not show anyone how to use it? Well, let me enlighten you... such amazing hardware, especially with the marketing + kinect expenses, would cost more then the XBO costs.
