The thing is, it didn't really matter. The resolution comparisons where born out of XB1 owners denying there was any significant difference between the power of the PS4 and the XB1. The more that went on the more people reminded them of the difference in resolutions to prove that power difference. It was an indication of the power gap, not really a resolution thing, but of course stupid Sony fanboys (probably pre-pubescent or your typical Crapgamer type audience) started using the resolution alone as a whipping stick. |
There were people claiming XOne multiplat games would be "unplayable", that 720p would be the norm, third party support would drop and the power gap would incrise even more, and my favorite was that the WiiU would sell more than the terrible Xbox One.
It was a realy funny time to be here and on NeoGaf. And only because MS wanted to go digital too early and giving Kinect a second chance. So the PS4 became the Redeemer, the one that would save us gamers from the evil Microsoft Empire.
It was back than when I get the reputation of "being so one sided". Well, here we are, basically nothing of those appocaliptic predictions became true.
Of course, all that hate gave the PS4 a wealth advantage that would never go away.
Now Microsoft is trying hard to fix their "sins" and give the game community a beast of a machine. Exclusives can go any where. They were never the reason for the PS4 advantage in the West.
I also don´t think price would be a problem. The PS4 Pro has a very good price point, and was a no show this hollyday season. I´m waiting for Sony´s Financial Report to make a better case, but it seems, so far, that sales have been underwelming.
