haha, I thought it was "embarrassing that a next gen console couldn't do full 1080p" and now The Order and this and many more games will not be full HD ps4 games. I hope this will put an end to these annoying endless arguments about frame rates and resolutions, but this gen PS fans will keep gloating how their games look so much better than X1 games. To be fair to them, xbox fans were very arrogant last gen about third party games being better on their console so I guess these arguments will never end.


What is really embarassing, and people seem to dont understand that,  is paying $100  more for a less powerful hardware when the other console $100 cheaper has the best versions of the games, then you have the possibility to get a better version of the games for a better price. So no, obviously, having a better framerate or  better resolution, better everything( yes, people are to focused on these 2 things whereas there is many others technical aspects) for a better price will always be a thing, and that's the way it should be, that makes sense if you're a smart gamer. Why pay more to get less when you can get more for less ?

( + The Order will be full HD quality so the resolution isnt a problem there, before talking about resolution, you should know why people ask for a better resolution, still, at the moment, only very few PS4 games are not 1080p , even if that isnt the only important thing of course)

What you, and so many others, don't seem to get, is that the value of a console isn't just in the hardware. This isn't like buying a PC, or deciding between two Android phones, here. When you purchase a console, you're buying into a closed ecosystem - the hardware purchase price is like a sort of entrance fee that gives you the right to enjoy all the unique software that Playstation, Xbox, or Nintendo has to offer. If the software and features on one system don't interest you, then naturally you go somewhere else.

Actually, I'd equate choosing between an XBO and a PS4 to choosing between an iPhone and some high-end Android or Windows smartphone. Sure, the iPhone is more expensive, and probably weaker, but that really isn't the deciding factor. You're gonna buy the phone that has the apps, functionality, and ease of use that appeal most to you. Specs may drive you to upgrade an old device, but when the time comes to choose which device to upgrade to, specs, and even price, are only portion of the bigger picture.

Yup. Specs are one part of the picture, albeit a very very important one in video games. More important than phones for sure.

The actual games on One/PS4 will show like 5-10% difference. People will say PS4 is twice as powerful, some multiplats have had twice the pixels, twice the framerate...but ignore that it doesn't translate into a 2X better looking game, or even close. Go look at countless videos to proof that.

One and PS4 games look a whole lot more alike than they do different. Heck at a glance it's often hard to tell PS360 games from next gen versions, forget PS4 from Xbox.

Some people ignore there's any number of reasons that may trump +/-5% worse looking games. Online, friends, controller preference (the biggie for me) UI, OS, Exclusive games lineup, Kinect...

That said, price is a big deal, and MS does need to drop theirs.
