Your opinion?

So far, (w/o SDK and DX12) we know pretty much PS4 is the more powerful/faster machine?

Do you think the addition of the three extra factors will allow xbox one to overtake ps4 in the graphics department?

Titanfall Offsetted AI to the cloud, allowing for a greater resolution. This was before the 10% extra space was freed up, and obviously DX12 is not out yet.

But when DX12 is out, and likely takes advantage of the extra 10% plus better optimisation, can they actually push their teramafloppy thingy?

Edit: For what it's worth I only really want to know your opinion, I voted PS4


- June SDK merely gives back to XB1 what it should have, to begin with, still way less powerful than PS4. What decreases the gap a bit  actually are the boosted clock speeds, so the performance gap of roughly 30-50% still remains

- DX12 will not do much to XB1, which already has much lower access to the hardware. It will benefit the console in some other ways though, possibly overcome some CPU-bound cases, streamline the PC to XB1 cross development and it may present some relative advantages against PS4, probably bringing XB1 CPU performance closer to PS4. (GPU and memory are the main problem).

- Cloud is only useful with CPU, so XB1 will never have the graphics parity with PS4. However, in some very limited cases (multiplayer & online only scenarios), the additional cloud processing may be beneficial for physics and AI etc). These are things very rarely appreciated by the crowd and there is nothing that stops Sony from implementing a similar technoogy. This has nothing to do with the console but rather the online service anyway.

So there you have it. Although all three will more or less benefit the XB1, none of them is anywahere near to put XB1 ahead of PS4 technically. Some other time, MS.
