Both the machines are well and truly underpowered.

If specs matter enormously just buy it for PC!

I disagree. I think it would be more accurate to describe the X1 as 'slightly under powered' and the PS4 as 'slightly above adequate' :p Though i think both are excellent for the price, even the X1.

I guess it depends what you're comparing them too

Essentially if your thing is graphics, any discrepencies between the two platforms are moot, you should be on a PC!

I disagree with that too

If one of the reasons someone bought a PS4 was to get the most visual bang for their buck, then the PS4/X1 hardware difference is rather significant. In that context the PS4 is like getting an X1 with another 50%(~) free. With that in mind (and my personal experience as a PC gamer during the 7th gen) I can fully understand why those people would be irritated/angry at this stuff. Why should [x] be punished for the mistakes of [y]? That certainly wasn't the case last gen.

Fortunately this stuff hasn't affect me much. I only buy consoles for their exclusives, and in that respect the PS4 has been what i'd expect. Long live 1x1 pixel accuracy.

On a completely unrelated note, i did have a giggle at "We could be running at 100fps if it was just graphics, but because of AI, we're still limited to 30 frames per second." If only there was some magical method of offloading tasks to the GPU. We could call it "GPGPU" :p
