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.

except developers are saying there is a gap....

 

and sony themselves are saying you'll notice a difference
