It's not lazy devs it's MS being cheap. They choose to use slow ram and ESRAM combination. This makes it so devs have to work harder for what? So MS can save some money.  Well some devs are refusing to put in as much work as others and who can blame them really.


It's not just harder to work with, X1 is indeed substantially weaker. The GPU on PS4 has around 50% more power and the memory architecture is better. The GDDR5 on PS4 is as fast as the ESRAM on X1, the difference is that PS4 has 8GB of fast memory while X1 has only 32MB. Even if you put a lot of work on it you simply can't beat the hardware difference.

I agree but some games that are 720p0/900p can in fact be 1080p if the devs put in more work. The thing is why should they have to put in more work? Cause MS decided DDR5 was to much money? Well Sony took the risk and now they're reaping the benefits of it. Now MS is paying for it not just with sales but also with having to send MS employees to help these devs out and make sure the game reaches 1080p. This is literally the definition of you get what you pay for.
