Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why does everyone keep saying the reason why ps4 is better than Xbox one because its more powerful.

Your not going to be able to see much difference in compressed YouTube vids or still pics where even 360 and high end PCs looked relatively similar.

When you see xone and PS4 running BF4 side by side you'll notice a significant difference and PS4 is a $100cheaper.

Also sony was known for their great 1st party IP last gen.. You cannot even compare the 360 to the ps3 right now in terms of the amount of exclusive IP from first party.. Ps3 just got a new ractchet and gran turismo 6, while the 360 gets another yearly cod and ac, it is okay to expect similar support for this gen

I honestly doubt difference will be significant later down the road. Microsoft makes third party developers sign a contract that pretty much makes it where if the game perform significantly better or looks significantly better on the competitor's platform (ps4) they wont allow the game on their system. Same way last generation. It can look slighly better on ps4 ,but not a lot better.

watch this video in either 1080p or 720p.. remember to switch it from 360p in the settings in the video.. if u still think it is a slight difference my next suggestion is get glasses.

i agree graphics shouldent make a system if u want good grpahics buy a pc but not everyone has 3k to drop on a powerful pc..



True, but Microsoft has a pretty good line up for xbox one. Dead Rising 3, Forza, Titan fall,Quantum Break, Halo, pvz garden warfare,peggle 2 and Fable Legends.

In the past, more power meant more expensive--usually the bad way to go. Not so, this time. I don't agree with those that try to convince themselves that the power difference between PS4 and Xbox One is significant, though. I remember when "significant power difference" meant one version didn't have as many levels, characters, FMVs, or whatever. One version being slightly sharper doesn't even register on my radar.

I will say PS4 isn't WORSE for being more powereful.

I checked the video and still dont see that much difference. These are close up videos and even the commentator said ps4 is sharper ,but not leaps and bounds above xbox one.



I'm in the middle of a love affair with Forza Horizon. The game looks fucking fantastic on my TV. I'm sure I could pause the game and look for flawed character models in the background or surfaces that aren't perfectly round but when the game is in motion, no flaws are noticeable.

On a technical level, I think that's how PS4 vs Xbox One is going to go. Make no mistake, PS4 is gonna win this gen based on multi-media funtions (that the Wii U doesn't have--and I KNOW Wii didn't have them either. Wii U is not the Wii) and releasing in more areas than Xbox One alone. It's going to be pretty one sided. I just hope the best games get attention and not power or sales.

ok fair enough..i just dont understand the green filter and weird color palots xbox uses in some of the shots..



Some people like games in native 1080p display resolution with stable frame rates, some people don't care and still play on smaller HD ready sets.

PS4 is better for gamers because
- better price/performance ratio.
- better focus on the gaming experience.
- easier to move between locations.

And how is this supposed to appeal to me in any way


WiiU is best right now, only 1 offering great couch co-op atm. Playing super mario 3D world together beats all.
