Second off, no one besides Sony's first party studios are going to be able to take advantage of it. I was looking at these side by side graphic comparisions between xbox one and ps4 and can't tell much difference and the difference will be even less noticable to anyone else that is playing the game a few feet from the t.v. and not standing right next to the t.v. Surely this can't be a legit reason to prefer a console over another. |
This is why when Microsoft was caught off guard in February when they found out how powerful the PS4 was they doubled back and tried to fix the clock speed of the Xbox One right?
Anyone who makes a game exclusively for a platform can take advantage of the architecture if they try and have a close enough relationship with a company. Gears of War is a great example. So many games were made with the Unreal Engine but none surpassed what Gears did on the Xbox graphically. Microsofts major advantages are the games they are keeping away from Sony like Titanfall and Dead Rising 3. Without those games their launch would've actually been worse than Sony's. In the long run I trust Sony's dedication to internal software support with multitudes of successful franchises opposed to Microsoft's flimsy set. Microsofts ability to close deals fo third party exclusives helps them in their battle against Sony though.
Microsoft had the better looking third party titles last gen and biased individuals used that as a crutch as to why the Xbox 360 was superior.
Sony is a greater investment in the long run as we saw with the PS3. Microsoft can only hope to internally amass a diverse selection games such as theirs. Hopefully they will succeed this gen. Hope is the only word I can use though.
based on the tech as we've seen it and from the reports, the PS4 will be superior in both exclusives and multiplats, not just in exclusives which was the case in the seventh generation.
