Microsoft had a legit reason last gen for their box being slightly underpowered: It launched a year ahead of the PS3. But here we are with with both next-gen consoles launching around the same time, and Microsoft underpowers the Xbox One. There's no excuse for it seeing as they have more money than Sony, and had just as much time to prepare for a new generation.

$100 more for a less powerful console. Unreal. I'm not saying Sony isn't greedy, but Microsoft is on its own level.

The XBox One's GPU's floating point performance is only 33% slower than the PS4's GPU (1.84 - 33% = 1.23), it has custom tiling hardware for textures, and it has custom data compression/decompression hardware for when the data is moving about the bus and being stored in the RAM...

Do you have an XB1 and PS4? Do you actually believe everything you hear from people who don't have one either? Go ahead.

Was this thread started before or after the PS4 downgrade?

I really don't see the difference right now but it might be more noticeable later on. I hope that's not the case because I want an Xbox one.

Significantly weaker would imply that the console is as weak as the WiiU.

the fact that we'll be arguing about the smallest most insignificant detail in graphics over the next ten years is evidence that it isnt... they're both basically the same machine through and through.

By the time developers get improved graphics on PS4 ports over their XB1 counterparts, PS4's will cost 13 popsicles and a mixed pack of airheads.
