Simplified explanation of how the PS4 is twice as strong graphically as the Xbox One

Just looked up some screens of Forza 5 and Drive Club, since that's a comparison people keep talking about.

Doesn't seem like much of a discussion. Forza straight up mercs Drive Club visually. I mean if that dynamic lighting gives you a hard on, great, but it looks to me like that's the only thing you'll have to be excited about. The gameplay pics look awful. Detail on the cars is atrociously bad compared to Forza, the environments seem a bit blurred (and not in a good "I'm passing everything at 200mph" kinda way), the game lacks color (don't people always rag on games for being too "brown"? That's what Drive Club looks like).

So what I see in Forza is a game that looks far superior visually, and ran at 60fps on actual X1 consoles at E3, where Drive Club dipped into below 20fps territory.

And before people jump on me, and twist this into me seeing "X1 has much better graphics than PS4!" That's not what I'm saying. Infamous for example looks damn sexy to me, and was one of the more visually impressive titles I've seen so far.

I'm just saying Drive Club doesn't look like anything to brag about. At all.

I don't understand why you guys keep comparing these two games. Forza is one of the biggest system sellers MS has, while DC is a game everyone is gonna get for free with their mandatory PS+. How can you compare that? The games have different budgets, different goals to achieve, different talent on the teams making them. Seriously guys, you are comparing a $60 AAA game to a free game and are drawing conslusions about the hardware that they run on? Let's wait for a real driving game from Sony, the next GT.

To me it's obvious that PS4 is more powerful and I hope that since it has an easier architecture and should sell much more in the first months, devs will treat it as the primary platform the way X360 was this gen. It's obvious that PS4 exclusives will outshine what we'll see on the XO, but I hope multiplatform games will also look and run better on the PS4.
