PS4 has "50% more raw power" in graphics than Xbox One, says report

This is sort of hilarious to read. Everyone has spent months screaming that no developer would ever scale their graphics or engage in any optimization to help the WiiU. Now all I read is that everyone is more than willing to deal with the fact that Xbox isn't as powerful as PS4 and it shouldn't harm them a bit.

Let's also not forget that the Xbox is declaring that it will have various multitasking going on all the time and that will require background processes and memory as well. It certainly cannot have even the resources for games that the specs present if it needs to have the ability to run multiple apps and respond to visual and audio inputs associated with actions outside of the game.

Example, while playing the next of Call of Duty game, it needs to be able to respond to and deal with answering a Skype video call at a moments notice. That requires power to be taken away from any foreground process all the time.

300,000 servers to help on that. Xbox One is not a static console.
