Umm the differnce last gen wass 820 < 630 versis 860 X 630, the gap is way bigger, please, moron.

Ugh... last-gen was so unfair for Sony... some people were really thinking XB360 was more powerfull than PS3, lol.

The gap last gen was not near as pronounced, the tech facts don;t agree with your made up narrative...

You seem upset.

Did it escape your notice that I put a ";)" after the comparison, hence indicating it was not a serious assessment of the relative power of the two machines?

Having said that, Digital Foundry did note that Bayonetta likely would have suffered on PS3 even if it hadn't been a hackjob, as it's technical makeup heavily favoured the strengths of the Xbox 360.

Hardware wise, there is a bigger difference between the X1 and PS4, than PS3 and X360. However, it only shows in the output resolution of mutli platform games. it does take a decent amount of power to render twice the pixels onto the screen, But if you compare the final images of the PS4 and the X1, there isn't that "huge" of a difference visually, to be honest, almost none at all. sure pixel nazi's argue otherwise, but the truth stands, that it is a small Visual difference.

What...? I'm just saying it is unfair that the more powerfull console got WORSE versions, what is "very fair" about that?

Well, if Sony hadn't chose an architecture that was such a pain in the ass to work with, the ports would have been better. So they kind of did it to themselves.

@cgiquality -- the fifa15 is like for like and both are 1080p. The only difference is shadow of mordor , is sligh tmore foliage . df doesn't say how much more and high qulaity shadows instead of medium. Those are small differences. Nothing compared to Bayonetta, skyrim, RDR and mafia. For sniper elite it seems to be just the frame rate and lower anisotropic filtering which can be patched. Small differences for that. For watch dogs it seems to be just the 108p difference in resolution and a slight fps advantage For black flag, its just a small resolution difference. The xbox one upscaler eefetc was removed with the update so that does not count. apart from that slightly better AA. again its small. For need of speed it only has higher-grade ambient occlusion and depth of field, which again is small. The ony sort of big differences is MGS4 GZ with the resolution difference 1080p vs 720p. Apart from that nothing major especially that cloud effect (forgot what it was ) is not really major.

Upset?  What are you talking about?  I don't see anything wrong or untrue about what I said and I see nothing to indicate being "upset".

Yes, the differences between the two would be harder to spot this gen than they were last gen when they were present. But there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for that.

But systems have the same amount of RAM, and that RAM is for the most part used in the exact same way. 98% of all a games assets can/will be seen across both platforms for any given game. So you are not going to see things like there being massive patches of grass that isn't rendered or extreme discrepancies in texture detail.

The things that the PS4 has over the XB1 are related to all round better performance. Faster RAM should mean better texture loading (kind of) and higher or more stable framerates. The more powerful GPU should mean higher rez overall, higher rez textures/shadow maps, more on screen effects and better post processing effects and better framerates.

These aren't things that are clear to see in pictures. But most of them make a world of difference when in motion. Like take MGS5 running at 60fps on the PS4 and 30fps at 720p on the XB1. Everything you see on screen is near identical... but not all identical is equal.
