When we see huge differences on the scale of 720p vs 1080p (125%) it's more to do with the X1 being more difficult to work with rather than the power difference. The PS4's extra power does of course make it even easier to work with compared to the X1, but it's not directly responsible for that entire difference. That said you are right, the gap between the two is significant. It will rarley result in huge multi plat differences (generally just a higher res, better AA/AO etc), but it will be a big asset to Sony's 1st parties. Already has been in-fact. To be honest Sony got lucky. Cerny's goal seems to have been to create the most developer friendly console rather than the most powerful. MS essentially handed them the latter on a silver plate the day they chose to bundle the Kinect. |
Absolutely i agree. But those differences are still there and are measurable. Its pretty tough to determine how familiar a dev is with the architecture...those type of questions we will never have a concrete answer to.
But yes, the bigger differences we've already seen, i would say is because X1 has initially been harder to develop for. However, just because we going to have games that are on parity soon (i hope) doesnt accurately indicate the real world performance either.
