How does shared vs dedicated affect performance? Is shared better?

The fact it wasn't mentioned makes me think it isn't. Same as with the "64bit architecture" and not actually naming a CPU.
Considering it was a reveal, they didn't really reveal too much. Just lots of vague details.

I just heard rumors on a stream that the XBox1 will have 2 prices 300$ with 2 years of xboxlive for 15$ a month and 500$ without xboxlive . Not sure how accurate.

So, I just watched the ps4 announcement cause I haven't watched it.
Well I just watched the game trailers and boy is xbox completely outclassed/outplayed/outmacroed.
This title from square enix seemed awesome and that deep down game seemed like a bethesda rpg.
The ps4 games were so much better.
Mind that I don't have a console, I will now buy my first after snes like 20 years ago, so I'm not a fanboy of either side.
Also considering exclusives like nino ku ni or journey for ps3, ps4 is a no brainer atm.
All I get from xbox1 is interconnection I guess, which as a pc user is completely useless.
Only redeeming element in xbox presentation was messi.

The way they're touting Live and "synergy" and "integration" and "the social aspect," I imagine that the $500 non-live version will be the most expensive brick you'll ever buy.

You can still buy XBox live seperately though i would guess . You just aren't forced to.

Nothing I've read about or heard thus far has me at all excited for this system.....I hope the next Playstation comes up with something more compelling.

Anyone else was surprised that EA showed NBA Live 14 instead of NHL 14?
Not that I care about EA, but it seems weird to me lol

Dedicated GPU memory means that the GPU has its own memory that is separate from the system memory. So shared memory isn't better, it means you can't do as much with the system.

The presentation was too heavy on the features and too light on the games. I get they are waiting for E3, but this presentation seems to be designed for the general populace instead of gamers. The entire reveal basically shows a next generation cable box with an subscription service (Xbox Live) and a nice new TV remote controller (the Kinnect).

Well yeah but why would you pay an extra $200 for the console and then turn right around and buy live separately? Believe me, not having live on this machine is going to cut you out of 75% of the features. It's already a hugely profitable scam on the 360. It's not going to get any less skeezy on the One.

If the 8gb is separate, then the graphics engine has 8gb memory to play with. If it's shared, it has 8gb-x to play with, x being the amount that the OS etc is using.
It's only one factor in a big broth, however. The speed (GDDR is much faster) is probably more important, for example.

I didn't watch that portion of the show, and I'm not that knowledgeable in sports games, but I assume that maybe it was because we are rapidly approaching the NBA finals right now, so maybe they're trying to build upon that basketball hype.

Not entirely true. Shared memory means that it loads much faster into memory since the GPU has direct access. It also means less wasted memory since you wont have an overabundance of system memory and a lack of GPU memory. It also means the entire system has much faster memory since it normally has significantly slower DDR3 to work with. 8GB of GDDR5 is a crapton of super fast memory. It does depends on optimization and architecture though.

Targeting the general populace for this event makes total sense. It was put on TV and regular media will pick it up and have lots of things to talk about. If they just showed a bunch of games general news outlets wouldn't really have much to say about it. More hardcore gamers are the type of people that will look up news on games and follow along more closely whenever new games are announced. The "casual" gaming crowd needs events like this, and they are actually the bigger audience for Microsoft to sell to.

The name is about as bad as possible... it seems game companies are just terrible at making decent names nowadays. Wii U, PS Vita, now Xbox One. Even games like Pokemon X & Y.
Anyone, was not at all impressed by the actual system. I'll be sticking to PC / PS4 most likely, and will get a Wii U eventually since Nintendo just makes too many good first party games.
|
Casual gamers play Bejeweled and Farmville. If they buy a console it's a Wii. They certainly don't buy Xboxs and Playstations. And MS isn't targetting them because they don't make games that those people care about.

OMG just goes to show I guess... Please compare E3 with this years E3... Thats where you'll see games and such... seriously you guys... Sigh... -_- You shouldn't blame viewers because Microsoft don't know how to make a proper launch show. If you actually think this was good I don't know what to say. Yes comparing it to E3 is dumb, so is the way Microsoft barely mentioned games other than Call of Duty. You basically learned nothing from this launch show other than it's basically an elaborate smart-tv.
It did exactly what it was supposed to do which was reveal the new Xbox. What more do you want? It's not E3 or any other gamer convention, this is a reveal by Microsoft so that people know what to expect when E3 comes around. Everyone here that's bitching about how this was "terrible" are probably the same people who sign contracts without reading the fine print and wonder why they aren't getting what they expected.
