Forums - Gaming - Xbox One and PS4 have 'comparable power,' says Watch Dogs producer

I wouldn't call 50% "magnitude", but not completely "comparable" either.

If PS4 is 50% more powerful don't expect to see much difference between the two. Xbox was 2x more powerful than PS2 and I don't remember it blowing PS2 out of the water.

I was about to make the exact same comment. And it is not even a indie dev with a $10 XBLA / PSN game.

We're getting used to it aren't we? Everything Pro Microsoft is not true or a pr spin but everything Pro Sony is a fact

That was down to the talent behind the systems. The PS3 and the Xbox 360 are probably the two most equally powered consoles in history, and the difference was still there.

From my experience, fanboys can't deal with ANY perceived advantage or equality for the 'enemy' console.  Considering the dialogue that I've seen up to this point, this would be considered pro-MS, even though it's saying that they are comparable doesn't give either console an advantage.  Yes, it's completely ridiculous, as this should ensure that multiplats are equally good, but here we are ...

I believe the difference of 50% on paper might not be 50% in performance.  We see this alot with video cards today, where 50% might gain you 5 extra fps.  The key will be exacly how efficient each console is at doing everything instead of just one thing.

In the end at 1080P we probably will not see that much diffrence between the 2 consoles and it will come back to the same story as it always does, THE GAMES!!



tomorrow a dev will say the opposite and the ones saying devs know better will change their tune, fanboys are so irrationnal. Only Nintendo is always right, Nintendo is god



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Comparable could easily just mean the architecture. At this point, I think that is the most important thing. Terrible Ports might finally be a thing of the past!

we have the specs so no need to decs come here to tell us ;)

Looks like you need it :) Listenning to all PS4 fans, the PS4 is 50% more powerfull (even if this is only on paper and only for one or two specific aspects).

But it is okay, do not worry, PS4 is effectively slightly better (like the PS3 vs 360) so Sony fans can still brag about it, will not change the fact that it will mainly depend on the talents, exclisives will look as good on both and multiplatform will be similar.
