Poor X1 owners lol
This is odd though! Sure, X1 is not as powerful ans PS4, but it's still like 10 times more powerful than 360 and PS3. It should do 1080p60 easily.
No, it isn't. That's PR bs. Yes, it does have over 10 times as much RAM but to most people, including me, the GPU is where the real meat of the console is and the GPU in X1 is approximately 5X as powerful as the one in X360, not 10X. The GPU in PS4 is approximately 7X as powerful as the one in X360. MS (And even Sony) likes to avoid the numbers and talk about "efficiency" when spinning their way to their 10X as powerful nonsense but the reality is X1 is 5X as powerful as the previous gen, PS4 7X as powerful as the previous gen.
They both should have been 10X as powerful though, especially considering that the previous gen was 8 fargin years long! Epic Games campaigned for next-gen consoles that were truly 10X as powerful, which would have meant 2.5 tflops machines. But both companies flipped Epic the bird and focused on profitability instead. Everybody keeps making out like PS4 is so fantastic but it really isn't. It's underpowered compared to what it should have been. X1, meanwhile, is extremely underpowered, so much so that it makes PS4 seem better than what it is.
