Last gen the PS3 was a lot more powerful, just harder to optomize for than the 360.

This gen, the PS4 and One use the exact same architecture and the PS4 only has marginally better components. As devs get better at optimizing for x86 on the consoles, games will probably look much more similar either way.

Heck, the One has the best looking game currently (Ryse), and even with lower pixel counts the games look almost identical in real life.

I'd say that was about the end of the thread folks.

you do realise everything he said is factually incorrect right? As a moderator surely...?

Oh really? And where am I wrong?

Games look pretty much identical in real life. More so than last generation, where the 360 had a BIG advantage in multiplatform games and the PS3 had a big advantage in exclusives.

Last gen the PS3 had a much better CPU, much faster RAM, only slightly weaker GPU, and a much better storage format. The same is happening this gen (other than the GPU being better and the storage format being the same, along with the CPUs being a bit closer in power), but the differences aren't as pronounced due to both using a similar architecture, hence resulting in similar looking games. Maybe in exclusives we will start seeing the PS4's power, but multiplatform games (the brunt of games for most gamers) will look almost identical, with just some slight reolution differences here and there that no one really notices IRL.

But please, feel free to point out my factual inaccuracies.
