CosmicSex said: The question I have is simple: is all the talk about DX12 intended to distract people from the obvious current performance differences between the two consoles? Also will the power upgrades for the Xbox One always be "coming soon" for the duration of the generation? Battlefield HL Project Cars F1 The Witcher 3 This isn't a one off thing. It is systematic. |
I'd say the 'DX12 will close the gap' stuff is more of an echo chamber perpetuated by a minority of fans than anything. The majority, MS included, have done more to deny than encourage it.
I'm sure MS would love for everyone to forget the gap exists, but they haven't done anything i'd consider an attempt to 'distract' people. I suppose it could be argued that their openness about upcoming SDK improvements could be considered that, but personally i'm glad they do it (and would like to see Sony do it too).
