Microsofts Ipad Killer

[InuFaye]

Please tell me more about how you think a cheap POS with shit specs is better than a PS3.

Please tell me what your "shit specs" entail.

Specs don't mean anything, you can't call the XBox 360 a failure when it outsells superior hardware and its users are willing to pay for online service.

In no way did I call it a failure. I just said the PS3 is superior, and that it is.

Specs are the least useful measure of quality. XBOX had a good online experience when the PS3 didn't, and Sony hasn't figured out how to rectify that. For some reason gamers wanted to play with other people, not just play with themselves. The PS3 has more power, but not the better experience, therefore people bought the xbox.

It's the AMG vs. M comparison, really. A C63 has way more engine than an M3. Does that make it idiotic to buy an M3, or does driving experience matter?

how did this go from Microsoft vs apple to PS3 vs Xbox. Anywho this thing looks dope hopefully it fucntions well. Fuck the Apple natzi scum.

Only thing I can add is that the PS3 was released a whole year and a half later than the xbox, that is a lot of time for technology to improve so its not like they really did anything special.

As good as this might be, it definitely wont be an Ipad killer. Just look at the Iphone, there are like 500 different types of android phones and one Iphone, and i'd say the Iphone still outsells the androids.

I personally dont get the Ipad, to me it seems like a bigger version of my touch, maybe i just need to spend more time using one to get it. I don't know what it is about Apple products but ppl really like them and will buy whatever they put out no matter the price.

And, back in the day, PS2 had worse specs than Gamecube or Xbox yet PS2 FAAAAR outsold xbox and GC...it's because they had so many games available and so many of them featured amazing stories and great gameplay

one of these days the corporations will figure out that people no longer care as much for a slight improvement in graphics if the game itself is not fun/can't be played easily with friends. Shit, just look at minecraft

This could be very good, but they have to have excellent corporate integration. That's how this will really take off. A lot of suits around me use ipads and a stand-alone keyboard for more work than they should use it for, and with this being integrated with the cloud, a user can simply turn off his desktop, walk out, go to lunch, pop open a win8 mobile device, log into the same account from the desktop, and finish the work.

The zune was a better device than the ipod in terms of features, usability, and tech, but it was poorly received due to marketing and time-frame of release.

OSX > Linux > any obscure operating system > Microsoft windows.

OSX is Linux you fucking waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles.

I bet you were born after 1993. Am I right?

[squidmaster]

whoa, hey now, OSX is NOT linux.
OSX is a derivative of UNIX, as is Linux, but they are not the same thing.
Though many of the commands are the same/similar, which makes things nice and easy, it doesn't share many of the same kernel functions nor does it have... well... the same kernel....

That's like saying an apple is an orange, because they both came from seeds.

you'd say that? really? so where are you getting these statistics? Because that's just not even true. it hasn't been true for over two years now.


Try google next time :)
