A few months ago before the recent influx of information about state of launch titles on the two platforms, there were arguments stating that even if the PS4 is more powerul than the Xbone, devs will just gimp the PS4 titles to make them the same as the Xbone versions so as not to anger MS or Xbone owners. But everyone was taken by storm when multiplats, especially COD, which is known to be more Xbox oriented, was running at 1080p on PS4 compared to 720p on Xbone.

The question is, why did developers and publishers decide to go all out and make the PS4 versions so much better? Did MS not pay them enough? Are they expecting the PS4 to sell THAT much better that they just decided to hold nothing back and let there be a huge disparity?

Personally, I frikin love this. Since I'm getting the PS4, I don't want devs to hold their games back because of a weaker competing console. But I was somewhat concerned that devs would choose to have parity because of not wanting to anger MS. But that doesn't seem to be the case. What are your thoughts?
