If Xbox One gamers are so hardcore, why did they go out of their way to purchase a weaker console?

If MS was serious, they would not have used $100 to $200 cheaper graphics card than PS4. HD7870/7850 vs HD 7790.

I think it was obvious that PS4 fans prefer different types of games. This is always evident from JRPG and indie game sales.

I just upgraded my PC instead of buying Xbox One. Less and less reason to purchase Xbox One if exclusives are more common.

PS4 and PC combo basically gets it all.

@Unspoken.

What a load of bs.

7850 had 1024 stream processor and 64 texture units.
PS4 has 1154 stream processor and 72 texture units.

7850 would be a clear downgrade.

"Fast forward to 2015 and both equivalent cards, AMD R7 360 and R7 370 have a $40 difference. Not far off at all now from the original statement. "

Except they are not the equivalent graphics card and statement said "back...

Architecture is similar, but power is not.

Xbox One has 12 compute units. PS4 has 18 compute unit. Each compute unit is identical, but PS4 has more.I dont get how anyone deny the difference. It literally is having half of Xbox more.

This is benchmark unbisoft ran.

I would have thought that given games lacking graphics fidelity, they would be able to achieve 1080P.

I guess not.

@donthate

and people like you forget the fact that people noticed huge graphics downgrade far before.

Lets be honest here, Division isnt pushing any boundary with visual. People noticed that months ago regardless of what resolution it ran on Xbox One.

But people like you try to act like downgrade didnt happen.

except the real numbers, tests and benchmark say otherwise.

Really? "I got friends who said?" LOLOL

@Genuine-User

DF released some analysis, that seems to be the case.

They also mention that game seemed to be developed around weaker console. Makes sense the marketing deal they have with MS. They make both console equal in their last game too. Dev admitted to it and sparked uproar.

I just bought a GTX 970. Now I got PC and PS4.

Plays all the exclusive games I want. Was thinking of getting both consoles like last gen.. No real need now given PC can play exclusives.

"The sense is Microsoft's platform has been heavily factored in at the start of development to keep performance solid, despite PS4 turning in a slightly more concrete 30fps return overall."

Sounds like game has been developed around weaker console. Not surprising given marketing deal with MS and you know how last marketing deal with Ubisoft went. "same so avoids debate and stuff"

Wow. How many secret sauces have to be debunked?

Just for reminder. 7th CPU was supposed to be Xbox One secret sauce.

And Cloud is just another word for server processing and has been done for decades before MS. Even Sony used "Cloud" or server processing for Bloodborne to create server generated maps.

So. No. Not secret sauce and it is just desperate straw grasp at this moment.

Here you go with another desperate wishing of DX12.

@Donthate

Except CPU scheduler and etc has been available to devs on Xbox one and PS4 both. LOL.It already has low API. DX12 may bring consistent API on both console and PC. Giving PC low API as well.

@people saying "bu bu bu, game hadnt had time to"

Yea. They did with Fable. Spencer came out and said it will give 20 % boost to PC ONLY.

How many t...

Halo 4 and Halo 5 has been the lowest metascoring Halo to date.

We gotta watch out what MS does with it.

@Suli

Because framerate information is not out on this game.

We know it is 1080P vs 900P and seen graphics on both consoles to tell which will look better.

Without running fps analysis, how will you know it will be choppy?

You dont. Either way, PS4 generally provides superior console version anyways.

3678d ago 11 agree4 disagreeView comment

Except that DX12 will not give any significant performance or resolution boost for Xbox One.

As MS engineers calls it, DX12 is giving what console already have to PC.

3679d ago 25 agree35 disagreeView comment

So gap is increasing. Even from third party devs.

It isnt just resolution anymore. It is graphical fidelity as well.

I thought some x1 fans said that Xbox One released so many super secret sauces last year? and it should take effects?

i mean there was sdk power unlocks. esram optimizing tool. kinect power unlock. 7th CPU unlock.

lolol. This is why you dont hype up regular update as some secret sauce.

Wow you are just twisting and ignoring facts here.

-cpu difference is few percent. GPU difference is 40%

-PS4 has back up 2nd CPU for OS. It frees up more CPU for gaming.

CPU difference is literally negligible compared to GPU... unlike some offset pro and con bs you are painting.

Awi

Lol. On PC ,yes. Consoles no. It already has low level API and can control individual cores unlike PC. ...

I simply do not get why X1 fans try to defend this game so badly.... It is just a timed exclusives.

MS last gen with X360 had less than HALF the number of exclusive in ranges of metacritic 80 to 100. Now MS has weaker studio than it did last gen...

@MoldyBread

So none of your point really addresses "get away from third party exclusives and focus on more investment of their own ip's."

How so? With what? MS barely replaced all the studios they have lost last gen.

If anything, it was a downgrade.

Bioware gone. No replacement.
Bungie left. 343 was downgrade going by Bungie Halo scores vs 343 Halo.
Epic left. It will also likely be a downgrade g...
