The slower DDR3/ESRAM configuration is only part of the Xbone's design problems. It also allocates a larger portion of that RAM for the operating system footprint. Remember, the Xbone runs 3 separate operating systems; one for Live, one for Kinect, and one for the UI. Each OS taking up about 1 GB of RAM. That only leaves a total of approx 5 GB of RAM for gaming performance. The PS4 on the other hand only runs 1 centralized OS that eats up nearly 2 GB of RAM, leaving a little over 6GB for gaming performance. That's about a 1 GB advantage for the PS4. It may not seem like a lot but 1GB can make a huge difference! Plus the PS4's GDDR RAM is faster! The system memory bandwidth on PS4 is 176.0 GB's compared to only 68.3 GB's on the Xbone.

Another performance advantage the PS4 has over Xbone is in the graphics chip. The PS4 chip can do up to 50% more raw shaders than the Xbone graphics chip. Peak shader throughput on PS4 is 1.84 teraflops compared to only 1.23 teraflops on Xbone.

No matter how you slice it, the PS4 IS the better performer by a considerable margin and (thanks to MS forcing Kinect into the box), the cheaper console.

What do you think of the game so far?

There is a pretty steep learning curve when first beginning. The style of play is different than recent fps and the maps are very intricate and very big. Sometimes I lose focus on the game and find myself just wandering around the map. On the smaller maps it can get chaotic sometimes. It would be interesting if the future dlc included a bot-less mode to calm the chaos.

Teammates, and good ones, are a must in every game mode. If you get matched on a bad team it will ruin your experience.

It is so fun to be able to get from one side of a big map to the other without touching the ground. Wallrun to zip lines to riding your teammate titans.

The game looks really cool. Have you had any issues with frame rate drops? IGN reported that there were times when multiple titans were on the map the frame rate would drop into single digits.

Good post. Unlike most shooters, movement is going to play a huge role in this game, IMO. Those who can wall run and jump fluidly from platform to platform will have a huge advantage.

Watching the videos, the game truly looks seizure-inducing! LOL! I'm not sure if I could play it or not.

And shoot while doing it. Can't tell you how many times I have been on the wrong end of a duel because I stop moving while shooting and he is double jumping all over the place

That too.

I have to remember to activate cloaking when ejecting from a Titan. It's a technique that has worked against me on multiple occasions.

Hope to get the chance to play this soon. Mostly everything I have heard about it has been greatly positive.

I broke down and bought myself one for titanfall, also bought forza. I'm very pleased with my decision, both games are great. Thought about trading my ps4 in for it but I know I would regret that when infamous and the show come. First world problems.

I played Forza at GS the other day and I was pretty impressed with that title. Thats the only thing I have played on the xbone.

Nice! I have a PS4 and I am pleased with it. Ready for Infamous and the Show. If I buy an Xbox One it will be for Titanfall and Forza.

If the PS4 doesnt bring a great racer to the table this year, I will jump on a xbone sooner than later.

Yeah I like the PS4 a lot but was really needing a racing fix. Forza is pretty good although there isn't as many cars or tracks as Forza 4. The drivitars made from other gamers driving style, mostly from your friends list, instead of AI makes every race feel different. Hopefully DriveClub isn't delayed to much longer.

Yeah Infamous is going to be a really cool game IMO. The graphics of the city that I've seen are beautiful. Like the idea of absorbing powers from others.

Titanfall looks like a lot of fun. Wish it would have came Out for Ps4. I've never owned an Xbox, and I don't want to get one just for this game, even though it would be sweet to have both. Have owned every Playstation made and still have them all but the One. Really don't have anything against Xbone, just stuck with what I've known. And it seems like a lot of games aren't ran at their highest levels

I'm trading in my PS4 to get the Titian Fall Bundle. All my friends own X1's and gamestop is offering something right now where I'll get back pretty much what I paid for the system. I was a 360 user before I made the jump to the PS.

I would not trade it in. Depending on what ps4 supplies are like in your area, you could get much more than trade in value easily and probably get more than you paid for the ps4 initially.

I looked on craigslist and up here in Lexington ps4's are going 350-400 on average with a couple people posting for 500 with games and such. GameStop is offering a special right now and I think I'll get around $412 for the console. $42 for my extra controller and $35 for each game I have (COD, NBA 2K14, FIFA). So that's $559 and the Titian Fall bundle is $499 ($528.94 with tax) so I'll have $30 to put towards a game or extra controller.

Walked in GameStop yesterday with my ps4 and a couple of games in my hand and walked out with the Titian Fall bundle, 12 months of Xbox live, renewed my power up card and with NBA 2k14.

Here's what they gave me...
PS4 -- $397.50
Need for Speed -- $35
FIFA -- $35
2K -- $32.50
Call of Duty Ghost -- $32.50
Extra PS4 controller -- $42

It was the first time I've ever walked out of that store and felt like I didn't get screwed. Knowing that I only lost $2.50 on trading on my ps4 made me not feel too bad about the trade. I owned a 360 before so I just feel more comfortable with the X1 then I did with the ps4. The PS4 is great but it just wasn't for me like the X1 is. Plus having all my friends on X1 sealed the deal for me. If anyone is looking to make the trade, now is the time while they have this promotion going on (that goes for people wanting to trade the X1 too.
