Xbox One Developer Concedes That PS4 Is More Powerful

Specifications show superiority

As part of a question and answer session on Reddit, an Xbox One developer has admitted that the PlayStation 4 is more powerful than Microsofts machine. Despite this, the operating system engineer noted that the size of the gulf in performance is still up for debate, and that the games on the Redmond-based companys console look excellent regardless.

The facts are on paper, the PS4 has better specs, and the most that you can debate is by how much, said the refreshingly candid employee. What I can tell you is that I have played Forza Motorsport 5, Killer Instinct, and Ryse on the Xbox One, and they look as good as the games that I play on a high-end PC. Ryse reminded me of Darksiders II.

Earlier in the year, Digital Foundry declared that the PS4 is the more powerful of the two machines, too. However, despite plenty of confidence on Sonys part, its not yet clear what practical advantages these hardware enhancements will provide. Well probably have to wait until both systems are readily available before we're able to decipher any noticeable differences.

Thoughts?

we already know Xbox One is quite weak with its measle 1.1 teraflop GPU

I dont think anyone can argue that the ps4 has faster hardware. Its just down to is it enough to make a difference and who will have better games and experience.

it is pretty self evident to me that if people really cared about power most everyone would be pc gamers.

console power is little more than shyt for nerds like us to mentally masturbate to.

Yes the PS4 is more powerfull. Yes the X1 is more sophisticated. The differences should be minimal at best. FoxbatAlpha

Is that what lemmings say to help themselves sleep at night? It's a game machine, not a car. All it has to be is powerful.

They're talking about that to try 1up each other and justify the purchase of their lump of plastic. it has very very little to do with the actual game and it never does. It's always about them showing off to the competition rather than enjoying the actual game

This pretty much confirms Kojima is speaking out of his ass and or is on Microsofts payroll.

Console gamers care too, people are still talking about which GTA 5 version will be better.

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] No they don't, otherwise less people would have bought the Wii. If people are talking about which version of GTA 5 will be better, then why wouldn't they get the 360 version? Look at the past. GTA 4 was better on the 360. Better performance, DLC came out first, arguably better controls. Yet a lot of people are still buying GTA 5 for the PS3. I am. I'm sure you are. If you aren't, I can name quite a few other cows who are.Blabadon

You didn't really answer my question. Do you think the PS4 would do as well as it does now if it had Wii U's graphics?

The answer is no.

People do care about hardware performance when it comes to the PlayStation and the Xbox. Because next-gen graphics are one of their main selling points.
And if the word spreads (which it will) that the PS4 is indeed more powerful than the Xbox One, people will certaintly take that into consideration.

Pretty much every developer has noted that the gap is marginal at best. ShoulderOfOrion

Poor lemmos, more expensive, worse hardware, kinect, crappy exclusive support, crappy indie support, no PS+, no PS franchises, Bungie jumped ship...
