Too bad they don't have a fanboy detector on that list.

And Windows phones blow.

I agree that the XBone is a pretty slick piece of technology, when the stuff it should do actually works. And that's what the list is about. It's not about the best game console or most powerful one. I do think that the XBone probably has a lot more innovative technological features, even if some actually seem to be hampering its use.
What I don't understand is the inclusion of the iPhone. If the list is solely about technology, why is a smart phone that hasn't really innovated anything in the past few years on there?

Lulz. What an idiot. Buying it for his four year old my ass. Also, LOL at a 19 year old with a four year old child. He's obviously not the brightest bulb.

Xbox One’s launch games have only given a taster of what the console’s output is capable of. Microsoft’s Phil Harrison has teased that for ever features seen in the console’s launch line-up, the company has five more waiting to be revealed.

It follows the announcement of 32 developers signed up to ID@Xbox, Microsoft’s charge into the indie space. As you may know, independent titles often deliver bold new ideas and features. This could go a long way towards what Harrison has said.

Speaking with OXM, Harrison said, “”When you’ve been around for a long time, you know what platforms are like. The games you celebrate and are proud of in the first year, when you look back at them from the perspective of ten years from now; you’d be amazed at the difference. It’s a combination of the tools getting better, developers beginning to understand the unique architecture to work with.”

On where the console’s features set might grow and the malleability afforded by the cloud, Harrison continued, “Crucially this time around, there’s the power of the cloud and what that means for game design. That can grow and scale indefinitely – of course there is a practical limit but in effect you’re uncapped. And I think, from a player’s perspective, that’s the most exciting part; that it’s not just about the chips in the box under the television or wherever you position your console of choice, it’s about what the platform will provide you with over time. We’ve not had that in a console generation before.”

“There are more ideas and vision for what games can be than available time to build them into the launch games,” he added, “So for every feature you’ve seen in the launch titles – SmartGlass, GameDVR, use of voice with Kinect – there are five features in the queue waiting to come out, either in an update or a sequel or in a future version of a game. The kind of creative and technical innovation that we’re seeing in the industry – it’s a really good time.”

It’s no secret that a console’s output becomes more impressive and diverse as its lifespan ticks along, so it stands to reason that bigger and better things will come over time.

Titanfall anyone?

Awesomely bad, though. I've got to get one for the original Xbox I have.

 

[Twigg4075]

I still think the S was way overrated. Those black & white buttons were sooooooooooo dumb.

I loved the original Xbox controller. Tried switching to the smaller one but just never got used to it. A lot of Halo was played on it and that thing was indestructible.

I liked the duke. MS has never had a controller that I disliked, honestly, although I haven't tried Juan's. The 360 controller in particular is my favorite controller ever, although the downside to it is that it has made me come to despise all of Sony's controllers (excited for PS4's though, after all of the good things that I've heard).

The Xbox 360 controller is my 2nd favorite of all time behind the old SEGA Genesis 6 button arcade pad.

Yeah everybody complains about it being too big, but I was 9 at the time of the Xbox came out and I preferred that controller over the smaller one :dunno: I really liked those Duke controllers.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

I just hated the XYAB BW button layout on the Duke.

Likewise. And there was so much wasted space on that thing. That Xbox logo in the middle took up about half the face of the controller.
