Xbox One Exec: We're Doing Things That "Cant Be Done" on PS4

"can't" is extreme. unless MS puts up blocking mechanisms sony can do all that shyt too, if they want. x86 architecture breh...
"won't" is more appropriate...

According to Xbox executive Kudo Tsunoda, the Xbox One has "a lot more going on" than the PlayStation 4 and other competing platforms. In a new interview, Tsunoda talks about how Xbox One features like backwards compatibility, as well as cross-play and cross-buy with PC, give the Xbox One the upper hand.


"For a long time we've had PC gamers and console gamers who weren't really able to play together," Tsunoda told GameIndustry International. "That's why cross-play is still such a powerful idea. You should be able to play what you love, and play together, regardless of what device you're playing on. It's about connecting people."

"It's a really unique value that only we can offer," he added. "You still need very gamer-focused values, but there's lots of things you can do with our technology. We've really got a lot more going on [than our competitors]. We're doing things that can't be done on any other console."

Tsunoda went on to say that allowing people to play games "wherever they want, on whatever device they choose, and making that easy" is Microsoft's long-term goal for the overall Xbox ecosystem.

On the subject of backwards compatibility specifically, Tsunoda said he's happy to deliver a feature that fans have been clamoring for.

"With backwards compatibility, it isn't something that we just think gamers might want," Tsunoda explained. "We know. We're looking for and soliciting that feedback. It was the number one most requested feature for Xbox One by far."

For its part, Sony has said it has no plans to bring backwards compatibility to PS4.

Not only does the Xbox One have features and functionality that can't be found or delivered on competing platforms, but the console has a bigger lineup of exclusives than anyone else, Tsunoda said. "We've got a lot more exclusive games than any other platform," he stated.

Some of Microsoft's biggest upcoming Xbox One exclusives for this year include Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, and Forza Motorsport 6. Looking into next year and beyond, Microsoft has Quantum Break, Sea of Thieves, Recore, and Inside, among others.

Sony, on the other hand, has admitted that its first-party games lineup for this year is "a little sparse."

Thanks @truck jewelry and @GoldenGlove posted from a cell phone.

I think what Microsoft done with Backward Compatibility is amazing feat as they are using Vmware to take advantage of the ability on a gaming console but half of those features wouldn't been implemented if they were number one.

X1 does a lot more than PS4 at this point in the game.

Its possible for PS4 to catch up, but its gonna take large monetary investments from Sony, which they don't really have to cash to make right now.

There are things that are being done on all systems that aren't being done on the others.

And the Xbox One fall/holiday lineup is indeed beastly, but the last Xbox One Retail Exclusive on shelves was Halo MCC which was released November of last year. Gears UE breaks that almost 9 and a half months later. So while Sony's lineup during that same period isn't as robust, we can't act the PS4 hasn't gotten exclusives ALL YEAR LONG. The rest of the year counts too.

They have been exclusives but subpar exclusives quantity doesn't beat quality any time. I mean Xbox exclusives no matter what are system sellers rather they are added editions or not Halo, Gears and Forza. What I think he was alluding to besides exclusives was the software capabilities that Sony can't compete which they cant. Microsoft is a software company. Look at there upcoming UI and VMWARE for backward compatibility etc... that shyt is impressive.

You mean the two games that were supposed to make 2014?

Can't forget a baron holiday is the only reason those games exist in 2015.

For the non-technical VMWARE is Virtualization that is used by majority businesses and IT firms. Create an image of an OS and copy it how many times you would like.

 

[The Mad Titan]

The sad thing is the average gamer doesn't see or care about that.

Cross lay and cross buy has the potential to be HUGE. We'll see how it plays out.

Subpar to you.

And software features, Vita Remote Play and Shareplay on the PS4 are great features.

Even the Wii U's controller feature is cool too.
