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.

@bolded, bravo. Could not have said it any better myself. All the talk of 50% more power and blah blah and the results thus far have been a resolution difference people wouldn't see without DigitalFoundry videos, some frame rate differences in a handful of games, and a toggle higher on the foliage setting in other games. Idk, it seems like it's not even as drastic a difference as some of the early to mid multiplatform games were on PS3 vs 360 last gen before developers caught up to the complexities of PS3.

But I agree, it's sad that the expectations for this supposed massive power difference is 1080p or bust. Not bigger worlds, not a revolution in AI, not higher NPC counts, etc etc. Oh the same game the 50% weaker console is getting is just fine, just make it a tad sharper please. I know Ubi did not optimize their game well at all, but it has been borderline depressing as a gamer to watch them be chastized for actually trying something that seemed next gen with their game, just because it resulted in dreaded 900p. Which, funny enough, if the Xbone version was 720p, then that 900p would have been just peachy.

But I hear Uncharted 4 will look amazing though.
