In the past Penello has said more like "differnce wont be that big", but here he's saying developers are telling him they are equal.

That's not what they are saying.

Devs are saying that GAMES run the same on both consoles, which is kind of expected given that it's the first batch of games and that most studios are working with game engines not optimized to work for either console.

The differences in power, if there are any, will start to become more noticeable once devs get used with the consoles and the engines are tweaked to take advantage of each console's strengths.

I'm not sure I agree with that because BOTH consoles will improve.

 

Wherever Ps4 starts out, it will get better as software is optimized.

 

BUT

 

The same holds true for X1.

You do realize that I didn't mention any console, right? And that I didn't even take for granted that such difference between them exists? And that I talked in plural saying that devs will get used with the consoleS and their strengthS?

There's no need to be so defensive.

And of course games will get better. We would have a very big problem if they weren't!

I wasn't being defensive. Not sure where you got that.

I said that launch games won't look/run different from each console because they are made with unoptimized game engines, that any difference in power will be seen later on when engines are more tailored to each console.

Your answer is that you don't agree with me because games on both consoles will get better, not only the PS4. Where did I said or imply that!?

But if you believe that you weren't being defensive, then you overreacted to a harmless post.
