PS4 is the most powerful. The mere fact that Microsoft didn't go into details is proof of that.

Your statement is based on what you want to be true, not on logic.

I believe that applies to you, not me. I'm using logic in assuming that since they didn't boast about specs, or release them to the press, that they are hiding them, like Nintendo did with the Wii U. They will rely on marketing and PR to make people think the console is more powerful.

We know the specs though, we've had them for months. It's not a huge difference in power but it is enough to make a difference, especially in exclusives.

Your statement is a logical fallacy of the following form:

If A Then B; B, => A

 

Or in plainer terms:

 

If Xbox One is weaker than PS4 Then Microsoft will not boast of the specs.

Microsoft did not boast of the specs.

Therefore Xbox One is weaker than PS4.

 

This is logically incorrect.

The specs have already been confirmed. Eat crow. I was right, leaks were right. Are you ready to apologize?

Was my post not clear enough? Do the rules of logic escape you completely? Are you pathologically unable to realize when you have made a mistake and must try to make it seem like you were not wrong at any cost?

Here's a hint: I don't care what system is 'stronger'. It is impossible to construct a problem that holds less interest to me then a technical spec comparison between these two consoles. I am however interested in rational thought and proper arguments.

That's why your link has 0.000 % impact on what I am saying. The laws of logic are timeless and a logically incorrect argument does not become valid just because the conclusion happenes to be true. You based your argument on a logical fallacy, which means the whole argument is invalid. That's not really an opinion, it's a fact. A fact I pointed out to you, and also explained as clearly as I think it's possible why your argument is logically flawed. You can chose to pretend that just because some gameinformar link says whatever it says that your argument is sound, but you would be wrong.
