I dunno, I just like the sealed off feeling of headphones and being able to hear things you could never hear on your speakers unless you had them cranked way beyond what people in the house could tolerate.
You know that is not happening. Don't kid yourself.
I kind of feel that the ps4 can but the Xbox one couldn't. So we will see tons of games just go for 720p. At least we will get real 720p this time and not like we had before where games were rendered below 720p and scaled.
I read somewhere that the Xbox One will be designed to be continuously on for 10 years. Look it up
I don't really feel like the PS4 is going to be that successful at it either. Ultimately, it's up to the developers, you can get native 1080p on both consoles it just depends on how much they want to give up to get there. Less AI? Lesser textures? Poor framerate?
When it comes down to it, they can render in a lower res and just upscale. 99% of the players will never notice and it'll still look fantastic to anyone not used to playing on a PC with jacked up settings.
That's not how it works noob, provide your source.
I'll do his dirty work: http://kotaku.com/the-xbox-one-is-apparently-designed-to-stay-on-for-ten-995116212
Hard drives aren't reliable out to 10 years of always being on. Maybe they just mean as a spy cam.

Show me the proof it will last 10 years. It's stupid to believe. Old hard drives aren't reliable. Anyone who knows anything about computers, would know that.
That's basically 88k hours on the hard drive. It should be achievable..

once again, much a do about nothing.
what do you all expect them to say?
"we designed the xbox1 to fail after 18 months"
"While the hard drives from one manufacturer lasted 3.5 years on average, comparable models in capacity, features, and price from another manufacturer only lasted 1.5 years." -http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/hdd-reliability-storelab,2681.html
I'll believe they last 10 years when they come with a 10 year warranty.
LMAO...so I'm just going to tell you that I know for a fact companies think like this. They aren't going to come out and say it. This is a very common way companies work these days, and no I'm not just making that up with a tin foil hat.
That being said I agree that unless they have a flaw like they had in the 360, it should be a non issue.
I find it hard to believe that you think this. Consider the PR storm this company went through with the RROD, hardware failure on that scale again would be a huge mess up.
The upclock will probably do nothing but it's easier to market 853 vs 800 to people who don't know much.
At $499, they are making a profit. It may be $25 per unit, but it is there.
Likewise, at $399, Sony is making a profit. It may not be close to $25, but it is something.
Do you have any proof of this? There isn't even a rumor at the unit cost of either that I have seen, and most likely won't be until someone does a tear down.
I'm fully expecting the PS4 to be profitable right from day 1. Educated guesses:
SoC: $100. AMD can make a 7870 chip as sell it in a 7850 card retailing for $150, guesstimating AMD is only selling the chip to board partners for only ~$50. A 7870 with 8 tiny jaguar cores slapped for $100 tops at volumes far above enthusiast video cards is well within the realm of possibility.
GDDR5: 7850 2GB vs 1GB = $10 for extra 1GB, so 8GB = $80, lets be VERY generous and take that x2 for $160 to including the fact Sony is using denser chips.
Everything else: Easily done with $100. Total = $100 + 160 + 100 = $360, below $399 retail price.
