Microsoft didn't even have a working Xbox One console at E3

Quote :

You know how EA's COO Peter Moore told Geoff Keighley during the post-conference interview at E3 that the games they were showing off on stage were running on comparable dev kit specs to the actual home consoles? Well...that's not really true. What is true, however, is that to get the best performance on home console games, Microsoft made sure that they were running on the most stable system specs available on the market and that happened to be an HP powered, Windows 7 system with Nvidia's 700 series GTX GPU.

Thanks to the guys on the HFBoards put together a nice little cache of information on the Xbox One and PS4, strangely they had some fairly unflattering evidence of the Xbox One games not even running on Xbox One devkits or, as Peter Moore put it, comparable specs...unless, Microsoft is switching from AMD cards to Nvidia cards in a last ditch effort to raise the price of manufacturing the console?

Anyway, Julian Rignall from US Gamers had an interesting Tweet to share, which on its own is quite harmless, noting...

WTF!?

Why am I not surprised? It's one thing using dev kits/PC's, but using ones that are considerably more powerful than the system itself is down right lying.

They're having problems as I mentioned before with the eSRAM they're using in conjunction with their GPU and it's downclocking it considerably.

They need to fix that, ASAP!

I am not trying to bring out the MS Defense Force at me, but I've heard GPU clocks might be downgraded. 8-900 gigaflops for gaming. The APU is big. This isn't 100% confirmed though and is being done to improve yields.

CBoat do you mind adding anything?

8-900 GFlops for gaming in comparison to the PS4's 1.84 TFlop.

And the guys on there are legit, read the whole thread if you have time, it's very informative.
