The difference will be much greater than 1 fps, that's why people keep arguing.

The point is, the consoles aren't even out yet and you don't know that. For all you know, there could be no difference at all. And either way, developers are focusing on both consoles so it's pointless to speculate.

I'm saying the difference is there. It's something that every digital foundry comparison will show.

Will the average Joe notice the difference at launch? That's what's causing the arguments. PS fans think/want it to be yes while xbox fans think/want it to be no.

 

Also as far as knowing things I understand your point. Most people don't know what they're talking about.
