Forums - Gaming - Why can't console fans accept the PS4 is the most powerful console?

I've heard lens of truth have gone bust? no more dodgy comparisons to be made



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Around the Network

The discussions has been done to death. Its not like last gen when there were not so clear cut differences between the PS3 and 360 - although the Xbox 360 did hold better versions of mutiplatform games (like most of them, ealier in the gen). But now both consoles are very similar in design, there's not so much to talk about in regards to 'power'.

I think its mainly due to smug/sly digs at the opposition.. especially when they're on the winning side. Some people like to rub it in I guess.



Sure, whatever... but will it blend?

I need to put my Vitamix to the test



Because they are fans.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

These past months, there have been countless debates regarding the power of the consoles. At this point, however, it seems crystal clear who the true winner is: THE PS4. Not only does this machine have much better specs all around but there has been overwhelming anecdotal evidence suggesting that a gap exists, so no further discussion should happen at this point. It has come to my attention, however, that passionate fans still can't comprehend that fact and are in a suspension of disbelief state.

So why does this happen? It seems users cling on to the past and don't let go. Can't they just accept the fact the PS4 is more powerful and move on? It seems that at this point people do not want to believe it anymore.

I am not going to give specific examples, but users just want proof after proof. We already had several multiplats that showed the power difference, but people keep asking for more. Likewise, specs are often brought up... as if we had not seen them several times already. This is just the stubbornness of the users that don't want to believe the PS4 is stronger than the X1.

Maybe things were different in the past, but this is not the 6th gen. The PS4 is more powerful. So I ask you, passionate Sony fans, that you finally accept the PS4 is the more powerful console and stop trying to discredit it. We all know it is hard to believe for you, and you constantly need new and updated evidence, day after day, but it is going to be better for all of us if you understand that fact.

Not sure if this is tongue in cheek or what because I don't know your history.

Problem is, 9/10 threads still being created are by people making fun of the Xbox One games, usually Sony fans.  So I think that needs to stop.  I don't think it is disbelieve.  I think it's more of rubbing it in, and trying to piss people off, etc.  You know, being a fanboy.  So yeah, please stop, including this post.

Mate, what you say is true, obvious, but it's not that fans don't accept it, don't take it like this. We always have some hot fans, or simply members who don't have enough knowledge about hardware, etc. and they just copy and paste some PR crap.  Sure XBox One graphics will improve year by year, but also PS4 graphics will improve year by year. The difference will be always there, simply because PS4 is  a superior piece of hardware. Don't even bother to some silly Threads or posts... they are just SOME members who like to flame you or simply they don't have any knowledge about hardware.

 

"@DouglasNerd got a chance to compare the PS4 version to the Xbox one Version, and gave more information on the audio clips that are part of the story, he also added a not exactly positive opinion on the iDroid Snake carries around:

Get Ground Zeroes on PS4, not XB1. Way better visuals, frame rate, everything… I believe @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN said so himself.

Man, PS4 version is definitely prettier. Xbox One is fine, though.

Not a big fan of the iDroid so far, tho. Sometimes you just need to stop too often. Second screen app can eliminate the problem.

I really like the way they’re using audio logs to tell you parts of the story. The recordings are really well done.

Silly observation: Credits for the main mission roll up, like in a movie. Credits for the Side Ops are stills, like an episode.

Play Magazine’s Sam Smith confirmed @DouglasNerd’s opinion on the discrpancy between the two next generation versions:

The PS4 version of Ground Zeroes is gorgeous. Quite a lot better looking than the Xbox One version, too… controversy…"



This was a pretty good thread! You are a pretty good poster!



Very well done!

I think most people are missing the point of this thread unless you read the entire thing. He's not saying Xbox One fans are denying it's more powerful, even though a lot of them are, he's saying that PS4 fans keep bringing up the power difference with each and every game that shows it.

Basically, he's saying that after four months of having graphical and framerate differences being thrown in their faces, Xbox fans can't take what they've dished out with the 360 to PS3 comparisons.

I know these are cliches but they fit the situation.  Karma is a bitch.  If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen(internets) Deal with it.


Karma? What's karma have to do with this? This is revenge, plain and simple. The only thing that results from the childish attitude your post displays is more fanboy wars. It's petty, annoying, most of all pathetic, and it only makes this site a less pleasant place for everyone. Someone needs to "forgive and forget," otherwise we'll be dealing with this shit forever.



Most powerful console rarely wins generations.
