Ok, I did some digging, and apparently I'm wrong. There is a game out there that is better on Xbox than PS4. The Order: 1886 has an unannounced Xbox One port in the works, with one super-cool exclusive graphical feature PS4 doesn't have...

You can run mario 64 at 1080p... it won't matter because you're still using blocky n64 models and textures. If a game doesn't push the next gen envelope and can run at 1080p60, it isn't that impressive. Wipeout HD ran at 1080p60 on PS3 (with a few shortcuts, but the point is still valid) with only 256mb of VRAM and a GPU that was outdated before it came out by a good bit.
So, not exactly silly. This game was a current gen game ported to next gen, not much diff...
729p, 720p, alpha textures, beta textures... in all cases the game simply does not look that impressive, and for the bone to be struggling with it is quite indicative of how weak of a system it is. 2D fighters, ports of last gen games, and next gen games that don't look all that great all get downgrades in some form on the bone.
If I remember right, evolution studios was in charge of Sony's steroscopic gaming research. It's only natural that they provide the flagship title.
*Port of last gen Tomb Raider dips into the teens in framerate on XO*
Xbox Fanboys: "It's poor ESRAM optimization. That ESRAM sure is hard to code for! This developer said it presented a challenge! That means they'll unlock 90% more power over the next year!"
*Port of PC game has framerate dips on both systems, despite PS4 running at higher resolution*
Xbox Fanboys: "You can't claim bad optimization! See! Your cheap...
Look at the sales numbers... it wasn't a "strategic reaction". They've actually been in panic mode since E3, and are scrambling to undo all the screwups from that monumental failure of a press conference and the policies/prices it revealed.
They were struggling especially hard in Europe, so it's no surprise to see this cut focused there first.
Looks like a random n4g user saw my comment in the PS4 japan launch article and ran with it. I figured it was only a matter of time before that happened.
You've blown up a bunch of nothing into a big deal. Laugh tracks (as they are called in the industry) are a standard practice. They just usually are not this poorly executed to where they are so obvious. Typically, they are used because the sound guy wants to have total control over the audience, and doesn't want a h...
the generic pre-recorded crowd cheer track they kept playing instead of the actual crowd cheers was hilarious.
oooh my goooodaaaaa!
It's just sticking to the trend PS3 and 360 used last gen of listing the resolution the game outputs at rather than native rendering resolution. Almost every 360 game was 1080p if you believed the cases.
PS4 does have a vast majority of its titles running at 1080p native though, that's the only difference here.
Xbox One doesn't have 300k servers, Jonathan Blow called them out on that long ago. They have fewer servers running 300k virtual machines ( http://www.escapistmagazine... Big difference. Sony also has many tens of thousands of its own servers. Gaikai alone had 50 datacenters full of servers in the USA and Europe in 2011 before Sony bought them, and they...
3rd rate? You mean the ones that never once have dropped me from a game connection, which do not lag, which are capable of cloud gaming via gaikai, which max out my internet connection's download speed, and which I'm given dozens of free and discounted games every year for just for using them... yeah, lets see Xbox do better.
Don't forget that amazon has a hell of a lot of its own servers as well... they do operate one of the most popular cloud services out there. They are in a perfect position to take on Xbox, though not sure if they would want to or not. Apple too may take interest, but I see them designing their own box if they ever came into gaming hardware.
If someone does buy it, I hope they scrap Xbox One and release a new console that is designed for next gen gaming from the ground up...
Xbox One enjoyed a surge of sales from diehard enthusiasts who were determined to support the Xbox brand or who were not willing to switch due to "their friends all being on Live", which isn't the case anymore with so many 360>PS4 converts and the fact that PSN is actually a better online service than Live is now.
Now that that initial surge of enthusiasts has died off, we're seeing sales reflect it.

Good, nobody cared. Nintendo keeps wasting their time with their same old tired franchises, afraid to grow, afraid to change, and being left in the dust by their competition as a result.
auto balance = eventually people will just accept the fact that the bone isn't as powerful and will quit trying to defend inferior hardware. the conversation will then die out because people will get tired of talking about it...
in no way does it mean parity will be achieved.
@vishmarx,
because only XO has the power of teh cloud computing.
"Yesterday Intel demonstrated a new example of raytraced graphics on the desktop using a raytrace rendered version of Wolfenstein. This time, it was based around a cloud-centric model where frames are rendered on 4 servers, each with a 32-core codename Knight's Ferry silicon at the core."
We'll assume there's 4 million xbox ones out there. That's 16 million servers required to do wolfenstein at 720p, which did little other than add better looking ref...
