"BF4 on xbone 60/720p"
Your source only state the PS4 version, and nothing about the Xbox One version. Was that just from your fangirl facts?
That said, these consoles are pathetically weak! It's amazing we are still talking 720p'ish!
What is the big deal with day-1 patch?
Don't you want developers to have maximum time to give you the latest features and bug fixes?
We are talking consoles here, that isn't finalized until a few months before and go straight into mass production. I would find it odd, if a console by todays standard and functionality does not have a day-1 patch.
It means, nothing was being pushed with the hardware. After all, if you aren't doing a...
All 4 1!

"I dont think people are bothered that you have a GPU that's 3x better than the ps4 we are talking about consoles not personal computers.
Iam sure there is articles about pc's somewhere on n4g feel free to comment how fast your pc is on them."
It's is ironic that 3x times more performance doesn't yield better graphics, but a measly 0.3-0.5x somehow does between Xbox One and PS4, and that is only ALLEGED!
@lsujester:
I couldn't agree more that a lot of the time, the developer has more to do with how good a game looks than minute power difference. In fact, art work impacts the game looks the most over resolution, and frame rate has zero effect other than being smoother.
That said, it surprises me that supposed 50% more power results in half the frame rate at same resolution. Time to triangle was supposed to be 1 month.
@Stsonic:
<...
Is that confirmed?
Well, Forza 5 has been confirmed running months ago at 1080p in 60fps.
Driveclub whom is in the same genre on the PS4 is 30fps, and hoping to be 60fps.
I didn't expect Ryse to be 1080p, seeing how it is the best looking next generation console game. That is a nice surprise. Can't wait to play it!

"First XBone off the assembly line?
So majornelson's pallet of XBones over a week ago was BS?

I know it is confusing, and anything MS says that CAN be perceived as negative, people jump the gun. That said, somebody asked that very same question and got the answer. That box pictured, was inside the pallet!
Ryse is proof!
So is Forza 5 running at 1080p in 60fps, whereas the competition Driveclub runs at 30fps.
"I like my aaa games as well but they are not all that matters."
To me AAA games is what matters the most. Otherwise, I could just play the myriad of smartphone games on my existing Windows Phone or get a dirt cheap Ouya.
I don't, because they don't hold my attention very long.
I don't mind interracial, but why is it always a white male, and a asian female?
Why isn't it a asian male and white female?
Why are people so against Apple?
A lot of the arrogance they had is now gone with Steve Jobs. I find them more palatable now.
I'm past adoration of indie games, but recognize it's importance.
That said, there is just too much crap digging to find that one gem. They exist and sometimes wow what a gem, but they are very very few and far between. That is the main problem.
Also, all indy games I have seen have very crappy storylines and mood. They mostly stick to fun game mechanics, and that is fine, but I gravitate towards more compelling experience with storytelling.
...
Or it could be the Xbox One version is 1080p ay 60fps like Forza 5 and PS4 version is 30fps like Driveclub is 1080p at 30fps.

Carefully selected quotes without all the details.
"ur contacts have told us that memory reads on PS4 are 40-50 per cent quicker than Xbox One, and its ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is around 50 per cent faster. One basic example we were given suggested that without optimisation for either console, a platform-agnostic development build can run at around 30FPS in 1920×1080 on PS4, but it’ll run at “20-something” FPS in 1600×900 on Xbox One...
Makes you wonder what other console makers did like the PS3 and Wii U?
I shudder to even think about the PS Vita being dead in the water with no help at all.
MS customized and re-engineered the Xbox One chip to become a monster. MS built into the chip the ability to instantly overlay video and apps for instant switching and side-by side viewing.
Even high end PC require separate hardware to do something similar, let alone a $500 console.
MS has a chip for just about anything from encoding/decoding video, audio and so on.
Xbox One is a beast, and that is why games like Ryse is the best looking game...
"Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One will also run on dedicated Microsoft servers, "ensuring the best multiplayer experience will be on Xbox One", in the words of Infinity Ward's executive producer Mark Rubin. However, when we asked whether Sony might also provide dedicated servers for the PS4 version, Rubin was unable to comment."
Same story with Titanfall, Sony didn't have a cloud solution, but MS did:
"I[Shiring of Respawn] pe...
Dedicated servers practically are standard on every multiplayer Xbox One game.
Can't say the same for the PS4, whom doesn't even have dedicated servers for CoD:Ghost, which the Xbox One does!
@Kryptix
"How can games on weaker hardware be gimped because of more powerful hardware?"
There are gazillion reasons!
Hardware could be poorly thought out, or even software. Take the super power of the PS3, yet Xbox 360 holds it own pretty damn well!
Don't be fooled by mere carefully selected PR numbers, those are for suckers.
