Xbox One and PS4 difference isn't "all that great", insists Microsoft
Outspoken Microsoft senior director Albert Penello has chimed in once again on the Xbox One/PS4 specs debate, with particular reference to a recent upset about Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, which reportedly doesn't run at 60 frames a second on Xbox One.
"Look, I had a lot of time to think about this and I believe in what I said," Penello told listeners during a new Gamer Tag Radio podcast, harvested by GamingBolt. Presumably, "what I said" is a reference to a chat with OXM about why comparing one console's specifications to another is basically "meaningless".
"I believe that the differences between the boxes are not all that great," Penello went on. "And I know what is going behind the scenes and I have access to more information about some of this than a lot of people. Sometimes people tend to neglect the points that are in my favour and they like to highlight the points that tell me I am wrong. I still think Ryse is still the best looking game on any platform. Period. End of story.
"I think if you look at the titles which we launched [with], which were multiplatform titles, the bulk of them were the same," he added. "I think there were 12 titles were released on both platforms, leaving three all of them had the same performance on both boxes. Everybody wants to focus on frame rate [with] Tomb Raider, there is a resolution thing going on and OK, there could be a lot of reasons why that could be true.
"But we are just a [few] weeks in, we just shipped, it's a long generation. People who bought an Xbox One are going to be in for an awesome generation of games that are only going to get better. I think these little things get way overblown versus the quality of the games and the real differences in experiences which are pretty minor."
Microsoft has suggested that Xbox One's specs are about "agility and brains" not "brute force" - it's all about serving up a stable platform for developers to work with, apparently, while setting aside resources for app developers.

-CPLatiasTGKLatiasTGKTanya I love all consoles, the PC will always be superior!
No it won't. They're two different things. It's like comparing Tupac to Dubstep, it doesn't work.
Yes they will, and they both run games., similar for the purposes being talked about.
Nope. You're comparing a restricted access game console to an open world PC that can be used for pretty much anything. Entirely two different systems.
The PC sounds pretty superior from your description, besides we are talking about GAMING functions only. A PC can run at resolutions and framerates a console can only dream of, along with steam sales.
Mostly the Steam sales though, lmao
It's also way more powerful, as i stated above.

It's still for sure a gaming system. Do you have one? It works fine for me, just like any other gaming system, just a lot better.
