Yup they are exactly alike, except that they have different specs CPU, different GPU, different ROPs, different TMUs, different type of RAM, different type of RAM bandwidth, some other custom hardware...etc

But yeah, other than all that they are essentially the same hardware. While we are at it, bikes and cars are essentially the same thing too. After you take out all their differences, they at least both still serve to get you from point a to point b.

Before this thread degrades into a pissing contest, let me be the first to point out that he's talking about their architecture, not the power difference. In that respect, he's completely right.

Let me hopefully just snip this now before a lot of people in this thread carry on with this. He is completely wrong, especially if he is talking about their architecture. The only similarities the PS4/XB1 has are that they are both based on X86 and that the architecture of the CPU and GPU (GCN) cores are identical. The similarities end there, and where they are even similar they still somehow vastly differ cause at the end of the day they both use/talk to their chips/memory/IO completly differently. 


pretty much having PCs with different specifications

xb1 and ps4 are hella similar

tho ps4 exclsuives by guerrilla , sony santa monica , naughty dog should show the difference in the hardware

(also hoping cambridge make the next console killzone , mercenary was so so so good)
