    Disney Infinity is nothing more than a copycat of Nintendo's Amiibo.

    Infinity came out a year before Amiibo. Both are a copy of Activisions skylanders though.

    It's actually not that big. It just looks big because it's squared off. I set an original design 360 on top of it and they're nearly identical in size. And that larger size and external brick means it runs a lot cooler than the PS4. 

    And they can't upgrade the GPU, that would cause compatibility issues. The power gap between the two is not as serious as devs make it out to be. Expect a lot of that gap to diminish as devs use DirectX 12 in upcoming games. 
    We will just have to disagree.  I have an Xbone and having seen it alongside my son's PS4 I think it's huge.

    To be that much larger, have less performance and to also have a power brick at all, let alone one the size of a 1L carton of milk, is ridiculous.  I don't care if it runs cooler unless the PS4 has failure due to heat issues like the 360 did, which I am all-too familiar with.

    I'm a long time Xbox user and I wouldn't recommend the Xbone over the PS4 unless you specifically want to play the Halo titles and/or Forza.

    Will DirectX 12 turn on the anti-aliasing and get rid of the jaggies that are the big detractor with the bone?
    From what I understand the ps4 has a much higher failure rate over the Xbox. Still nothing like the original 360s issues though.

    Personaly as someone who never moves there console, I prefer the Xbox ones design to every other console. It's perfectly silent, but more importantly it doesn't stand out. Every other console before it has had some sort of distinctive shape that screams "I'm a games console" that belongs on a kids bedroom rather than your main living room. The Xbox one at least just looks like an oversized DVD player.
