Wow this thread - so I should dismiss a game dev , you know a person who actually makes games on the system, who says that on paper spec's don't tell the full story , but instead listen to all the armchair fan boys who probably don't have a clue how either system really works but think they know better. wow

Yes, because a fanboy emotionally invested in the outcome of an argument is FAR more reliable then a guy who makes games for a living. You don't know that?

Many developers did games and lied to the media or simply said something to be polite with everybody.  I'm not a fanboy if I say so right ?

I'm not a fanboy if I say that a Console with 50% more CUs count which can do both graphics and generic tasks and far more effective memory bandwidth is a more capable system in everything right ?  If I say 1+1 = 2 am I a fanboy ?

I don't really care if you're a fanboy. I'm not gonna judge you personally because of the technical jargon you type. If typing that stuff makes you feel confident in PS4's vast technical superiority, that's fine.

Fact of the matter is, I own both consoles and I've yet to see a game on the PS4 that looks noticeably better than anything on the One. Whenever anyone talks about technical differences it ALWAYS comes down to frame rate and resolution, and even there the differences aren't really noticeable to anyone but graphics junkies. I mean my god, when people were complaning about ACU's rumored graphical parity, their complaints literally came down to "PS4 SHOULD HAVE 1080P 60 FRAMES, NOT 900P 30 FRAMES". Not the vastness of the world, number of NPCs, quality of the textures, or anything. If that's all that 40 percent increase in power is capable of, I'm not sure it's really worth bragging about. XD

So, in the end, I'm more inclined to believe a guy who works on these consoles over people who throw numbers at me without context or visual proof that demonstrates any real world difference.

If you wanna believe a cat is strong as a tiger believe it, if a dev say so, I don't care mate :)  

Games like Uncharted4 will answer you.
