Not a big difference there, but where the difference lies is everything else is superior is shadowfall.  But i doubt it will stop. Not that it matters as titainfall is going game play above all else.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Some optimization will occur but it won't be enough to make up for the hardware. Neither console is packing serious heat overall. The only way big budget games on these consoles are going to commonly achieve 1080p at 60fps is if the developers seriously hold back on the graphical effects. You may have one year where these games were releasing consistently at that resolution and framerate and not sacrificing much.

That kind of a trade-off is not worth it, in my opinion. That's a ridiculous drop that I find inexcusable.

No, not likely. This generation of hardware wil have far less optimization than last gen considering X1 and PS4 are more similar to PC than any prior generation ever. A big part of that being x86 architecture.

To be honest 1080p, 60 fps will be pretty rare unless developers cut back on effects, textures, lighting, etc.  There will still be beautiful games but I don't forsee 1080p 60fps becoming the norm.

Xbox One and PS4 both have pretty weak GPUs.

Lucky my brother finished my PC then!

60fps will NEVER be the norm for consoles. I remember people saying that the 6th gen would be 60fps standard in the late 90s, and the same before the 7th gen.

Most devs will always choose to go with more detail at 30fps.

Oooo what are your specs??

Hang on, I'll give him a text. I'm sure it's nothing special as it was made from scraps essentially. He says it's more powerful than both consoles though, quite handily. Paid nothing for it.

Yeah I see most games being either 1080p or 60 fps or at least close to either.  I don't see many games hitting both those at the same time though. Some will for sure but graphics and new engines are only going to have higher and higher performance costs and frankly both GPUs arent strong enough to consistantly hit both with top end graphics.
