X1 and PS4 both totally underpowered for todays games and those coming in the next 5 years. What about 4K TV???? Why can't I stream movies from my DLNA home server to X1? Thing is a joke, I'm pissed. So many features missing for a so-called multimedia machine. Not even close. They want you to subscribe to all of their services and spend tons of money. Not happening, I rent movies and rip them to digital files... have like 3,000 HD movies. Why the hell can't X1 handle this task?????
I could build you one easy.
You realize that's illegal with huge fines.
Also, when you're only rendering in 1080p, it requires much less system power.
Also, when you're trying to meet a price target and still make a profit, power and price have to be balanced. For $400, you essentially get a fairly powerful computer that can play games. Try and buy a PC anywhere close to that with more power.
