All things being equal, the PS4 has a more powerful GPU and should give it a 25% graphics boost. But as we know, all things aren't equal. They aren’t just the same two PC’s with one different part.

Remember the PS2 and the Xbox. The Xbox was more than twice as powerful – and how different did most games look? (Note: that is more than 5+ times the difference in the PS3/X1 GPU's).

As much of their hardware is the same, significant other parts are different – these will have different effects. At E3 we learned that developers were having trouble with frame rate on one console. Many on the internet just assumed it was the Xbox One. This got repeated around like a yellow cake rumor in a bar – with everyone referring to each other in a circle. And what we have seen now, this could have been a huge mistake. A number of games on the Xbox One are looking very good.

We know there are some important differences not only in the hardware, but also more specifically the software that runs the hardware. There will be differences. It is a challenge to make for complicated hardware, software easy to develop for – kind of like how a duck looks all calm above the water, and you see it peddling like crazy underneath.

Differences are starting to show up. But I think it’s a bit too early to call a victory. We only about 50 something more days, then we will get to compare them directly.

Actually, it was only the PrimeSince 3D camera that was brought to Sony, Apple, and rather sure, Nintendo by the people that made it.  Project Natal included the 3D rendering software, the voice recognition and the in game sound elimination – so it can hear you even when playing a game or watching a video and a bunch of other things.  It fit with project their research team had been developing.

Now they have swapped that system for a much better time of flight 3D camera.  Sure their advertising helped, but they only expected to sell 3 million the first year - not 5 million.  Good word of mouth and good ol' plain fun just helped them sell it after that.

What? Its not the endless power of the cloud fairy tale? Aww... i guess this one is entertaining aswell.

Certainly has the better looking launch titles. But ultimately microsoft will look pretty smart in the future when their dezign choices show multitasking advantages etc.

Could you do me a favor and be a tad more deluded please? Thanks

?? Better looking launch titles??? Says who? No launch x1 game looks better then shadow fall.  And drive club looks better then forza 5, graphically. Not to mention more reports of multi-plats running better on PS4.

Multi-tasking advantages?? Hiow mnay tihngs will you be doing on your console, to the point it will be any kingd of advantage?? Oh wait, using your cable box with your xbox means people will flood to xbox right?

Do you know how well the PS4 can multi-task?? Nope.

Sorry, your post is full of dillusion, and assumptions about each system.

Kinect or xbox would be cheaper.

hahaha. I came in here expecting something more objective. That was my bad.

Disagree. Driveclub is nowhere near forza 5. Car models, scenery detail, physics calculations are all I  a different league.

Ryse looks more detailed than shadowfall imo. Guess we will see when they release from digital foundry.

An out an out games machine will not win the sales war this time

Thew ps3 was a better media box then 360..whats your point? The ps4 is not an out anf out gameing box..welcome to 2006. Sony started the drive for media features in consoles.....nice try.

drive club is vastly more advanced the forza. Forza has pretty ccars. DC has better lightning, effects, day, night, weather..........................

Ryse > shadowfall ROFL. Ok champ. Ryse is a linaer scripted game, shadow fall is way more impressive. And again, the games are not even out yet.....you simply don't know.
