I think what many don't really see is that these are mostly rushed ports from the last gen. Launch games in general are not a good base to draw upon. And we all know that the Xbox 1 software is less then optimal at this time.

Itll get better, I hope.


PS4 games are as rushed and will improve as well. The gap is not going to go away, the GPU's are not changing.

How can it improve? Aside from all games being standard 1080p, there really isn't any better you can do this gen.

Textures, effects, better more optimized drivers and engines, OS optimization, new coding techniques........Like every other gen.

If resolution mattered then everyone would be playing games on PC.

it does not matter:

that's the reason why we still have 0.4mp cams and mobiles with 0.2mp cams
and fulldh TV's are selling well and full hd cams also and 24MP+ cams are used by professional photographers for pictures that are in most cases sub 20inches big.

Once Microsoft unleashes it's secret sauce, cloud, it will be able to produce graphics similar to that of Avatar

I was talking pure resolution, but fair enough



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Sigh, not this again..Not every game coems to PC, many do not and not everyone has the know how or wants to game on PC. Didnt say resolution was the only thing that matters, but it makes a difference.  Classic strawman argument.

What does this have to do with gaming resolution?

Whats stopping the cloud from helping now??? The cloud is not going to do a thing... What happens when you play offline? Graphics will downgrade? never going to happen.  Pure ms pr bs.

that would be the case if resulotion is the only thing that matters, it isnt. but resulotion does matter.

I guess it does matter to some people. It doesn't to me. I checked that GIF of ACIV in the article and I couldn't tell which one was "the better one". When I buy a PS4, it'll be because it has games that interest me, not because of a minor resolution difference.
