Sorry but some people dont believe anything unless sony says so. Its true. Give it a rest people.

This response is accurate and very mature. Well done pennello.
To those saying microsoft give it a rest. Sony have talked about power and graphics way more than microsoft. Also trying to take regular jabs at microsoft recently.

This guy pennello originally answered some comments on tweetz and forums. Hes simply following up.
Its clear xbox one is designed differently than ps4.

The games this gen will only prove microsoft right. Ps4 will not have some great advantage that fans want to believe.

Xbox one with a bit of different programming will look just as good if not better.

I will predict considering 343i is full of top graphics engineers in the industry that halo 5 will take the lead as top graphics so far I the gen when its released. What those guys did with halo4 s engine was incredible.

The thing is we do know that one console is able to run things at a higher frame rate and a bit better than the other.  For many reason you have highlighted, I think it is more likely the one with the slighly lower powered GPU than the one many people are assuming. 

Microsoft has done some absolutely amazing things with DirectX 9, which came out way back in 2002 and until recently, has held up remarkable well to everything but the latest super powered Gaming Computers using DirectX 11.  They refined DirectX 9 to 9C so it would be a mature and stable platform when the Xbox 360 came out.  And as you reminded us, Halo 4 won many best graphics awards, and looks great. Halo 5 will also run at 60fps, which should make it even better.

They started over in many ways with DirectX 10, which has then evolved to DirectX 11 and now is refined as DirectX 11.2.  Sure I wish they both had the 2.5 Tflops GPU's that Tim Sweeney wanted, but I still think they will be amazing with what they have. Plus, 2.5 isn't really that much more powerful due to the laws of diminishing returns.

We just have to wait and see which one is more amazing.  I have a feeling a number of people are not going to be happy.
