There are no graphical issues on either console.

A typical person playing games will not notice a difference between the two consoles.

Sure, if you freeze a game, take a screen shot and put them side-by-side you can tear one or the other apart, but when people are playing they are not going to be thinking, "Geez my version stinks compared to the other console"...

Also, the X1 is not under powered. As compared to most typical gaming PCs it will run circles around them. So to say it is under-powered is only when compared to a $3,000 gaming PC or the PS4... Compared to the Wii U, 90% of PCs, and most other consumer devices it is a powerhouse. And while Sony fans like to talk about their technical specs, the generation will be long and as it progresses things will be more about the cloud, streaming games, and other things related to the architecture of the consoles.

I don't get why Microsoft fans always attack Sony fans in these topics, lol, never the Nintendo gamers or PC gamers.

 

I can buy a $500 PC that runs circles around the Xbone, btw.
