Another day, another comparison thread!

Well, might as well join in the fun.

This is just another opinion piece. Just like DF is. There isn't ever going to be a definitive source for an answer. If you are a PS fan, you find every little detail that wouldn't be found if you were PLAYING the game and try to create a justification of the vaunted "50% more power". If your an XB1 fan, you dismiss the mostly obvious minor detail differences as just that and say "gameplay is what matters". Neither side wins.

So, while some people are counting bushes in screenshots and others are playing the game, we can all wonder who is getting more out of this?!

You don't think you're biased?

Yes, that's the whole point I was making.

But, you pointed out that I admitted that their are "mostly obvious" differences.  As usual, a person who may be obsessed with being a console warrior will not grasp that nobody is arguing that there are different versions of the game much anymore.  People have moved on to debating how much ther differences really add up to or what is really causing them.

This cycle gets repeated with almost every multi-platform title.  There is a large argument between the fans of either system about which version is better graphically(usually the PS4 for obvious reasons).  The argument goes through multiple version in the multiple threads as people accept that the PS4 is usually better in some minute way.  Then everyone debates how that it could have been more or less if the developer had tried harder.  And then the debate goes to the techies arguing over the technical reasons behind the differences.  Luck for us all, there is usually another game that comes out shortly after to start the debae again.

So, if people just accepted that the XB1 version will usaully have minor differences/deficiances than the PS4 version, they could spend a whole lot more of their time playing games.  Of course, that would require people to also accept that in almost all of the cases the actual gampelay difference is very little if any.  That seems to be the hard part for people to get over.
