Which one is more powerful? PS4 or XBOne? The pointless fight.

You personally don't care. Fine, I don't either. But think of the people that do. People that would have downplayed Xenoblade in the past because of its graphics. Why Nintendo came up with a 1080p console? Because the demand is on graphical power, it doesn't matter how good the games are with or without it. So now we're back at Sony and Microsoft, who are battling about having more polygons in screen just because that's what the market wants.

 

If any of those two could advertise the Call of Duty version as the "best-looking one compared to other consoles", trust me, they would. And this explains why the pointless fight, and why it will perpetually keep going on. It's just the history of consoles itself. Look back to Atari, Nintendo or Sega. They advertised their consoles upon the graphical power, not the games.

But you're comparing the Wii - PS360 gap to the PS4 - XBOne gap here which you know isn't fair. Like you said, if they could advertise their version of Call of Duty as "the best looking one", they'd do it but they can't because they're too similar. I'm not arguing against the jump to newer technologies and stronger machines but I'm arguing that with what we know of the PS4/XBOne, both made a significant jump in graphical capability, both will be able to wow us with insanely good looking games and that neither will have an advantage big enough to produce a visual experience that will blow the other out of the water (in a Wii vs HD twins kind of way).
