Before release people said MS would have the better API and that would balance HW difference, then they say SDK was garbage (justificative for inferior ports) and now a new API and SDK will make it double perform... Why do I find it hard to believe amidst all this flip flop of defensors? Please decide if. MS is a great SW developer and it will enhance API or they are shit and made an horrible API before, you can't have both. You just have to accept MS is at least pretty good SW dev and the first SDK was good, but the new one will be better. So what we can really count on is that both consoles will get better SW (API and games) and the difference will probably stay stable.

Before release it was rumoured one manufacturer was behind schedule. The developers told us MS SDK was behind. It wast garbage, MS just reacted to Sonys early release of PS4. MS were the ones rumoured to release in 2014. So yes MS were behind on SDK in developments aligned with PS4 SDK. The facts were there fo people who waned to read them. It was just not as fun as saying 50% advantage. When it has never worked that way even ith PC GPU's 50% supposed paper specs dont translate into 50% better results at all. Never has never will. 

I do believe MS have rushed a console release for the 2nd time... just don't agree with people that first said 50% would be BS because MS was a good SW dev, and would certainly have a better SDK than Sony (as proved by X360 being easier to dev than PS3), and that ESRAM would be easy as cake because X360 used EDRAM. And them when the first games came (even without any report of the reason) they put the blame on ESRAM being more difficult and SDK being obsolete... and now they believe DX12 will solve everything and/or new SDK... so yes I have reason not to believe this people.

And the worst part is to have to hear that everybody that doubt it is a hater and doesn't want to see X1 get better... It's quite tiring as well being called names and see people play victim...

In the end of course X1 games will get a lot better.
