VR is not demanding? :p Have you not seen how many moving elements Polybius throws on the screen! Trackmania Turbo reaches 120fps too, yet only on pro. Turn the graphical fidelity down and all games can run at 60fps. However buzzwords like true 4k sell games better than 60fps. 60fps doesn't show up in screenshots, hence the unimpressive gameplay footage from GT Sport and Forza 7.

ps4 pro is not holding anything back. If you want to go from 1080p30 to 4K60, you have to dial back the detail. But then it doesn't look as good, hmm. If the cpu is the bottleneck you probably still need to dial back the detail to go to 1080p60, an even bigger marketing no no.

Bungie had to make sure that the game looks good across all platforms. Priorities.

They changed their tune for Destiny 2, too much going on for the poor cpus. So dial it down... Actually after watching a bit of gameplay (I've never played it) it looks a lot like unreal tournament. That ran perfectly fine on a pentium 90...

Too many lighting effects going on is all I see as the problem :)

At least the consoles aren't holding back the PC this time, Destiny 2 can run at upto 144fps on PC.

VR games lack the depth and content.

I said the Titanfall deal was bad when it happened. It should have been timed if anything.

Dead Rising 3 was more riskyand MS funded a complete game. I dont believe Capcom needed Sony's money to make an incomplete fighting game. Capcom made an excuse and you bought it, I do not.

Starting out of the games they were level, it's the rapid acceleration in sales that put the PS4 as the lead platform, not the performance, as highlighted by the ps2 vs xbox comparison, the original xbox was significantly better in performance than the PS2, but the xbox wasn't held back by the hardware performance of the PS2, it was held back by the retail performance.

You could easilly (and rightly) argue that seeing as they're going for compatibility, and the performance delta between the original xbox one and ps4 pro, that the original xbox one is holding back the xbox one x significantly more so than the ps4 or ps4 pro, but again, it's less about hardware performance and more about retail performance.

My point is, hardware doesn't hold a system back, sales do.

PC is uncapped framerate, so there is nothing holding back. Unlike Xbox X, PC has an installed base. I suppose PC will be the main competitor to X, as there are no Xexclusives.

Nah. Developers are just putting in the bare minimum for the PS4 P/ X1X because there's no incentive to put the extra effort in. It's not like supporting these platform derivations better actually leads to better sales.

Is Crackdown 3 holding back the x1???

I think the difference might be larger than one might expect from looking at raw numbers.

Microsoft has shifted processing typically done on the CPU, onto the GPU's command processor, that could free up allot of processing time.

We've had DriveClub, Rez Infinite, RE7, Dirt Rally, and upcoming GT Sport, Fallout 4, Skyrim + 3 expansions and Doom. Those all lack depth and content? Plus a whole range or experimental new games, plenty of depth, but true, they are a bit short.

Honestly the only thing holding back the X is lack of exclusives.
