I don't understand why people don't get this. PS4 is more powerful, yes. It is all up to the devs to exploit this power. History has shown multiplat devs don't care about optimization if it isn't necessary. It has always been up to 1st parties to squeeze performance out of a console. 3rd parties care more for the botton line than putting out the best version. The PS4 and One have almost identical architecture with the PS4 having a slight edge because of its lack of eSRAM. That means that theoretical gap will be pretty close to the gap in reality. Only 1st parties will take advantage of that.


History has shown us that you need a console which is really significant more powerful than the other ones like the situation was between Ps2 and Xbox than the developers can use this more power, the xbox1 had always  significant better multiplatform games but if you have two basically equal consoles than of course there are no real differences developers cant use pseudo power which isn't there.

 

So are you suggesting the One and PS4 are basically the same? What psuedo power are you talking about? I'm not sure what you mean here.


Yes Ps4 and Xbox one are basically the same not that big differences, both share 8GB Ram both have gpu's and cpu's which are not that far away from each other all things considered minor differences, it is nowhere near the PS2 and Xbox1 situation.


Respectfully, you are woefully wrong. The gap between the One and the PS4 is pretty big. The GPU isn't just 50% more powerful with a better memory architecture. There are parts of the GPU where the PS4 has larger than 50% advantages that are mostly overlooked in comparisons, ROPs, ACEs, CUs, stuff I really don't know much about. 50% is no small amount. If you have $100 would you say someone with $150 has insignificantly more money? In a gamers brain that's an extra game. How about $100,000 to $150,000? 50% isn't insignificant and the PS4 has more than just a 50% theoretical advantage. Then you have the GDDR5 to the DDR3 w/eSRAM. GDDR5 wins hands down.
