Next Generation Console News: Xbox One, PS4, Wii U

Hated it!

ESPiN FF is awful. It is a good idea I just will not use ESPiN for multiple reasons. If they open it up to other popular site then this is pretty cool.

says in the article that it will just be nfl.com this year, and next season they'll use espn and yahoo apps as well

Ugh! I have never used NFL.com but ESPiN and Yahoo! are poop, too. I like to have a lot of customization in our league. I always use myfantasyleague.com. It is still a pretty good idea for Xbone.

I read the article you posted, one commenter posted this link below. I'm posting it just to say Im starting to get the feeling that we will not truly know what either system is capable of doing until after they are shipped and fundamentally compared with real game performance -as in the titles at release. I still believe 100% that those expecting any visual or performance differences are going to be very disappointing but will have a great time debating these beliefs. My point is that both MS and Sony clearly want to have a "better/stronger" system and Sony has the inside track to that claim as of now, it would not surprise me if MS releases other system specs once both system are locked into release dates/manufacturing schedules/shipping schedules, (which is currently happening) etc... Another rumor and possibility was that MS could release news that backwards compatibility, while not accomplished within the system itself, would be done through Cloud application, etc etc etc

Point is, I still think we see a few surprises.

Well, Sony has been vocal that PS2/3 games will be streamed through the cloud software Gaikai that Sony acquired. I assume it will be the same for M$ as well, except that the cloud software will be home grown.

An older article on extremetech on the XONE says that the increase in the CPU speed of the XONE won't matter one bit. I find it interesting that Sony hasn't released the clock speeds of the CPU and the GPU on the PS4. It also notes that the XONE is underclocked, possibly to allow for easier heat dissipation. The latter point is probable, because of M$'s experience with the red ring in the current X360. I read elsewhere (don't remember where) that the XONE is built like a truck (similar to the oritinal XBox). Hope that is true.
