Is PS4 Technically Superior To Xbox One? Hmm...I Don't Care

The author says it doesn't really matter if the PlayStation 4 is more powerful because in the end, both systems need great games to flourish.

Consoles > PC

When I poop it always feels better when I take a full 1080p too.

Another smear has appeared. I have experience in this field. Use of social propaganda always shows the ugliest side of anyone. Smears are the worst last resort. The general public may get swayed, but not the targeted audience. Try again.

(If you don't understand what I am saying. It is because this comment is not even directed at the writer, or the news article's information. It is directed at the "adjusters.")

The Xbox One is the best choice for next gen exclusives.

MysticStrummer3665d ago

@tbone - In your opinion.

In my opinion, PS4 is the clear choice for exclusives as well as multi plats.

PS4's power advantage does matter, but the bottom line is always what games you want to play.

redwin3665d ago

Ha! I have both machines and these two machine need each other and lots of people that prefer the ps4 is more that they hate MS than anything else, the prove ? Ok, let's take out of the ps4 everything that MS brought to consoles and if you still like the ps4 better than the box then I guess you are not a MS hater : hardrive , online gaming, broadband connectivity, bigger controller, indie, main hub and OS, digital download (MS doesn't want to use disk format ) achievement , western games, apps. So, if you take all that off the ps4 would you still like it? Answer is no! MS has changed gaming for ever and succeeded where dreamcast couldn't. Now, what did Sony bring to the gaming world? Keep in mind that the turbofx was the first console with CDs and handheld machine.

AceBlazer133665d ago

@redwin so much stupid in 1 comment.

Chris_GTR13665d ago

That's not true at all. If you didn't care about graphics then you wouldn't of bought a next gen console and stayed with your current gen consoles lol

pixelsword3665d ago

It's a combo of Graphics and great games; and the PS4, like the PS3, is in that happy medium.

redwin3665d ago

Interesting, here I am playing my Infamos game, in my ps4, I have my box next to it. I had every console since 1982 and I've seen the progression and evolution of gaming and all you do is disagree and call me stupid, as if by laying out my observation threatens your investment. Out of all the consoles I had, my favorites have been: N64, turbofx16 , ps2 and the first Xbox. As you can see, I'm not a follower I don't sway by the mass and Jedi mind tricks don't work on me. The ps4 has more in common with the first Xbox than the ps2. It's so easy to press that disagree without explaining your self. I don't care what machine has what game, I have them both. And through out the history of gaming the power of the machine doesn't determine the outcome of a generation. 3DO and the NEO-GEO were the most powerful machines of their time and you know what happened, but the price, mmmmm , that has a lot to do with it.

MehmetAlperTR3665d ago

If i pay 100 $ more for 720P and 900P games than i ll care about it lol :P.. but wait forza 5 was 1080P hahah..

DragonKnight3665d ago

@redwin: If you want to take everything out of the PS4 that the Xbox brand brought to console gaming, then let's do the same thing vice versa shall we?

Ok, so now there's no Xbox brand. Done.

Xbox only exists because of Playstation. Bill Gates didn't want Sony to have such dominance over the living room and so he commissioned the Xbox brand to compete and allegedly win. It's been nearly 2 decades and that hasn't happened yet.

Rachel_Alucard3665d ago

@redwin

I seriously hope your trolling because you sound like a naive 8 year old. Let's ignore the fact that MS has brought more harm to the industry then anyone else and it took sony's competition to get them sweating.

Flutterby3665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

@redwin

Over half the list you pretend MS brought to gaming is complete BS, how on earth do you attribute western games to xbox ? And some of the things where already being done on pc before MS brought them to the Xbox such as online gaming and hdds. Achievements I couldn't care less about and a "bigger controller" wtf are you even talking about I was playing games on the atari I was playing games on the nes and the master system I have never cared how big a controller is, I was fine with the ps1 controller. MS did not bring indies to the gaming world either considering indies are indies in the first place and have been around a lot longer than the Xbox. Your points are all either stupid or made up.

Maybe next time try thinking through what you right, like the adult you claim to be would do.

One last thing IF everything on your list was taken away from gaming , I actually wouldn't mind because all that would mean is the ps4 would be the same as a PS1 with far better graphics. Except for the western games cos ps1 had them way before xbox existed, so I would keep them.

Rachel_Alucard3665d ago

@redwin

Nobody was disagreeing with you because of what consoles you owned, you got disagrees because the list you provided was idiotic and thought up by an ill informed 8 year old trying to think up reasons as to why his console is better, even if he doesn't know anything about how it works. Also, your spelling and grammar is from kindergarten so that probably was a lot of it too.

morganfell3665d ago

@redwin, let's start with Windows and look what MS took from other companies and then used money, threats, and arm twisting to ram Direct X down everyone's throat. The items you say they brought ot the Xbox were PC based features they took from the people, systems, and founders that were there ahead of them.

ground_beef3664d ago (Edited 3664d ago )

Loool, although poops are much easier and less painful at 60fps, loool

I hope people realize this is a joke, for laughters sake, I ain't bashing any console here, I think both systems are great In their own sense. Check my comment history to make sure I am not a console war instigator. But seriously though the state we are in right now is abysmal, it's no longer safe to be able to make a joke about one system, or even about an exclusive game. Why are gamers so tense? Why is this console war so violent? Why can't we just calm down and choose the console we love and be able to engage in intelligent arguments comparing the 2 consoles.

There's nothing wrong with arguing over which is better, not just in gaming but in all aspects of life, people always argue over which political candidate is better, which automobile maker is better etc. but most people engage in these arguments in an intelligent, factual, sophisticated way. They don't just attack or defend for the sake of it. And most importantly THEY DONT GET SO WORKED UP OVER THE ARGUMENT AND OVER THEIR PREFERENCE. In the end they know its a choice they made that in their opinion is the right choice for them. It's not a jury decision on someone facing the death penalty.

Xbox one designers need to be fired. What were they thinking.

killzone6193665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

i buy consoles based on exclusives but i guess console gamers have turned into wannabe PC elitists.

"ps4 has GDDR5 ram". Ok, but did all of that make Infamous and killzone SF GOTY games? no.

Devs need to step up their game and actually deliver.

Definition of next gen= games which are better than last gen.

So far these "next gen" games are repeating the same mistakes as last gen games. dumb AI and weak storylines should be a thing of the past by now...but is it?

nope, console gamers have been sucked into pointless resolution debates;Crying over a HD resolution. pathetic.

You know next gen is going to suck if its just about resolution. but these "gamers" dont care. So long as their game is 1080p its "next gen"

Zombro3665d ago

I like it actually it looks better then the ps4 in my entertainment center just my opinion . Hey guess what there is two really good consoles

awi59513665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

LOL yeah right 1080P @ 60 fps is a joke console fanboy. Call me when you can do higher than 1080P on ultra at 200 fps. And people who say that you cant see more than 60 fps are full of crap. Anyone that plays multiplayer where there is a significant draw distance like BF games, counterstrike or any shooter where you may have to shoot at a small target at range.

The draw distance in games and textures far out can get you killed at 60 fps. When you are in a firefight the extra fps you can feel them big time there isnt any distortion at long distances or any funny lag with textures rendering far out when you are destroying a game at 200 fps. Any shooter when it comes to a fire fight the extra fps are felt people that say otherwise are kidding themselves because games do lag when the action heats up and all those extra fps makes sure you are not at a disadvantage when things get crazy. In multilayer 60 fps doesnt even feel smooth somtimes when the crap is blowing up everywhere and it makes it worse if a sniper is shooting at you during that moment.

Gr1mmyshadows3665d ago

how much does this over 1080p & 200fps cost you?

Why o why3665d ago

Uncharted, forza, the last of us, gran turismo.......shadow of the colossus....all excellent on pc.........

ger23963665d ago

That maybe true, but the article is about Xbox and PlayStation.

DanteVFenris6663665d ago

Wow. People say they can't see more then 60fps because it's been scientifically proven. It isn't an opinion at this stage. Anymore your brain will not be able to see some of the frames inbetween. It's totally pointless to have more then 60 unless your using VR. Which them the added frames produces motion blur. But otherwise more frames then 60 your brain simply isn't aware of the images

MysticStrummer3665d ago

Ah yes, the always expected "PCs rule" comment about a console article. I've tried PC gaming several times during my gaming life, and I've always gone back to consoles. PCs and smartphones both have lots of games to play, but if I'm not interested in those games what difference does it make to me how they look?

It's the same between consoles. If I have no desire to play Halo or another person has no desire to play Killzone, neither of us will care how the other game looks but at least our comments would be relevant to this article, unlike yours.

chronoforce3665d ago

playing your Nintendo 64 emulator at +1080p/200fps does not count.

awi59513665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

@DanteVFenris666

Maybe for real life but we are talking about games and i bet these scientist never played a video game in their life. And if your're fps dips at all at 60fps you notice big time. You can tell even if you gameplay drops to 55 then back up to 60 there is a noticeable jerk that happens or stutter. If you go from 80 fps down to 60 fps in high physics area you still notice a jerk or stutter in gameplay as well eventhough your fps didnt drop below 60. They way games perform and render you can see it clearly. A game like metro last light their is a clear smoothness of gameplay from 60 fps up to higher fps. Draw distance and smoothness of gameplay is smoother because your pc isnt working so hard to render all that crap.

Gremdude3665d ago

Pshaw PC peasant with your measley 200FPS. I will not play a game until I can have 1 gazillion FPS. I figure I can pick up a PC in the year 3000.

lfc_4eva3665d ago

200fps?

Total overkill for any game dude.
I game at 1080p on high settings for both BF4 and Titanfall. I get around 60fps and I do just fine and the games look great too.

However, thats why I love pc. If you want to go totally overboard to build a pc that can do 200fps, then you can. I'm not though ;-)

awi59513665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

@chronoforce

You're a total console retard arent you. My rig runs anything that high for less than a cost of a new console. BF4 runs at 100fp+ on ultra in 64 player matches and that's the only game that pushes it at all. And regular games like bioshock infinate run at 300 fps. The batman games run at 200 fps, boardlands games over 200,skyrim , and BF3 runs at 200 fps. I could plug up 3 monitors and set res at higher than 1080P and still beat the consoles in performance whats your point.

And i havent even upgraded my cards yet. Im going to sell them later they are going for 300 dollars used on ebay right now because they are out of production. Lets see you get that much out of your old hardware when you sale your stuff to gamestop i bet you won't. That's why Pc is the master race our hardware holds it's value longer and can be sold for top dollar after it gets old or go out of production. So my upgrades i wont spend a dime they are already paid for by selling the old stuff.

Kavorklestein3665d ago

Don't be silly, having the FPS higher doesn't make you be able to see things from farther away.. it's the draw distance, and post processing, and things like anti aliasing, and the sharpness of the image itself, not how many frames. FPS will help your game runs SMOOTHER, but not help you see FARTHER or with more detail...
LMFAO

awi59513665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

@Kavorklestein

It does when someone is shooting at you why do you think pro gamers turn their settings down to med or low to get a fps advantage. It does help in response time ahole. Especially with all the badly programmed shooters out there today AKA BF4.

And if your FPS is locked higher and not dipping everywhere it does help you see things in the distance. Because your computer isnt (*^&(*^*6 and lagging and jerking and textures are loading slow as crap and blurry and god awful like you find on console. Just because a console can render something doesnt mean it will run at a rate that's playable. BF3 could have been the same on last get but it would have ran at 10 fps and they would have used fog and blur effects to cover the bad draw distance also.

If your console or pc isnt powerful enough to run content at a proper frame rate any type of draw distance will only make it worse. That's why killzone games could look good no draw in those games at once. If they were built like a battlefield game killzone would look like crap and run at 20 fps.

Kavorklestein3664d ago

Dude. Just no.
Draw distance is what make a game world look big, three-dimensional, and full.
If you look at an older example of good draw distance, look at the half life 2.
If you want to say that those effects that make the world seem alive are only gonna be worth it if you are playing a game at 60+ frames per second, then you have no hope in understanding how graphics work.
Having higher frames may effect how easy it is to react to things, but it's not actually gonna make your games look any sharper. I personally think 30 frames per second is more thatn enough for most single-player games, and I prefer 60 frames for multiplayer. If some online opponent shoots at you when you are playing a 60 FPS game and you still have issues surviving or "feel like the game is lagging"
It's just that..
Lag.
It's not your machine failing to render the game in 60 fps, it's your internet connection that is having the hiccups to relay the location of everything in the game "world" or "map" between you and other players/dedicated servers accurately.

As far as you console argument, yes, devs could up the graphics to have more effects, but that kills the framerate, and a good developer will focus on having the game play well/smoothly before they worry about how polished the image is. Once they have a good balance between resolution AND Framerate, THEN they start ADDING effects on top of everything.
I would rather have a game be 900p and smooth as butter, than have a game that is 1080p and only hits like 26-30 frames.
But I dunno why you called me an a-hole for pointing out that you are confused.
Although higher resolutions AND frame-rate are the preferred way to play, I prefer to have a game be smooth as possible without sacrificing the look of a game. One thing I actually do alot is turn on as many effects as I can, and let the shadows be lower quality since they are so resource heavy.

medman3665d ago

Of course the power difference matters. It certainly matters to developers, therefore it matters to consumers. I own a ps3, 360, and ps4. I purchased my ps4 due to Sony's phenomenal first party developers and the games they produce. The quality and consistency of their releases obliterate what comes from Microsoft's first parties. The power advantage is a happy bonus for me. But the problem with the xbone is not the difference in power, it's that the difference in power is costing consumers a 100 dollar premium. That is why it matters. Anyone saying otherwise simply doesn't understand basic economics. And as the owner of a pretty nice a/v setup, I would prefer if the "next gen" console I bought output in 1080p, which is the standard for full hd resolution. The fact that a 500 dollar "next gen system" doesn't achieve full hd is a joke. The xbone is suffering compared to the ps4 in both resolution and framerate. That is also a joke. And again, if the xbone were 350 dollars, it would be much less of a big deal. But it's not. And therein lies the problem.

Automatic793665d ago

@ Medman what Power difference you talking about So far the next round of games all 1080p, Kinect Sports Rivals, Wolfenstein, Murder Soul Suspect, Watch dogs on Xbox One. Wtf you talking about SDK were provided late that is why you didn't get that early on. First party studios will have a ton of 1080p.

Flutterby3665d ago

@lito

Watch dogs won't be 1080p on xbone lol not a chance. All this false hope you guys have for the sdk and the dx12 and the cloud , it's really really sad. Then you have the ps4 owners aka smart consumers that get the games at 1080p from day one, no waiting for new upgrades to the software no waiting for the cloud no waiting for dx12 , but the thing is though the ps4 is already playing the games at 1080p it will only get better as time goes on and the power gap will still be there.

We get the comparison articles often and there is always an xbone fan saying "we don't need them any more we know the ps4 is more powerful" then someone else says "there are loads of xbone fans that think they are the same power and don't believe the ps4 is the better hardware" and the xbone fan says "where? The only people that seem to care are ps4 fans" ......yet here we are with another fanboy in complete denial. If you think that all the newer games are going to be 1080p on xbone you are in for a shock, and even the ones they do get to 1080p will look worse than the ps4 because they will have to remove features like good aa to get it that high, or its just not a very high graphical game that looks Last gen like wolfenstein and kinetic sports rivals.

Zombro3665d ago

The best games are still on last gen consoles !!!

lesrima883665d ago

When games like dead rising 3 drop to 15fps you should care

SilentNegotiator3665d ago

Flutterby3665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

Exactly what I was thinking , people that don't care at all don't feel the need to make an article about it, I mean I myself don't care about grass clippings so you won't see me writing a blog about grass clippings and why no one should care about them.

Syntax-Error3665d ago

He's absolutely correct. If MS drops new games after games and Sony keeps putting out remastered rehashed hits what difference would it make how powerful the PS4 is. I don't doubt it's a stronger console, but the PS3 was also more powerful than the 360. In the words of the immortal Bill Gates "It doesn't matter how powerful your machine is...it's what you put in it that matters"

rainslacker3665d ago

Sony announcing one remaster is now a trend and all new AAA production has been stopped? Funny that didn't happen last gen when they dropped tons of remasters and still delivered those big AAA games.

What's funny is that the last few years of the 360 MS wasn't dropping new game after new game. Just one big exclusive a year, from a staple franchise.

gamernova3665d ago

And I feel the PC is superior to the consoles in more ways than just gaming. :)

die_fiend3665d ago

Xbone is in big trouble. Trials fusion can't even run at 1080p. What does that tell you? That it's severely lagging behind the ps4! A game like battlefield I can understand, but an arcade game for £15 that maxes out the console at this point. That's laughable!

crg13723665d ago

the fact that it can't run trials at 1080p makes me begin to wonder if it could even run mario kart 8 in 1080p. its confirmed 1080p and a locked 60fps even in split screen mode. somehow i'm doubting the xbox one could pull it off.

We should since the PS4 100$ less for superior hardware getting the best version of multiplatforms best looking exclusives in the end just like every generation before it PS4 will have the most/best games out of the competition.

Bigpappy3666d ago

That's the point of the article. He is not buying a console for 'superior ' hardware. Someone people prefer, features comfort and games that suit their playing habits. Superior hardware would be a decked out gaming PC.

christocolus3665d ago (Edited 3665d ago )

Exactly, the guy only says he doesnt care about technicalities and so it should be. get the console you prefer and have a blast with it, differences in fps and res shouldnt stop you from enjoying the games you love on which ever platform you choose.

Comments from insomnium2,infected,dialgamagr ine and gamershaven are just hilarious...always eager to downplay the xbox one over and over again.

Insomnium2 and dialgamagrine also seem to think that the xbox one wont have any more exclusives and will die out once tf2 goes multiplatform...lmao.

"The sad part is once Titanfall 2 comes to PS4 as well as all following sequels, it's pretty much over for the XBone in the exclusives department. Sure they'll still have Halo and Gears, but then what? The dwindling sales of both those series towards the end of last gen proved that they're slowly losing their relevancy, and M$ basically has no other first party to really make games for them. They're having to do what they did last gen and rely solely on third party support and gimmicks that are completely unrelated to gaming. Once Sony's WWS games start coming (and we know they will), the PS4 will flourish in all categories, and continue this gen as the best selling hardware.".......dialgama grine

Thats just funny cos as it stands they already have a huge amount of exclusives with some confirmed/rumored ones on the way, also they have new and unannounced studios,they've also been on a hiring spree,even just hired a good number of ex ssm&ex irrational devs ,they are expanding their 1st party studios and still working with a number of 2nd party devs.halo4 has sold over 9mil copies and you've got Sunset Overdrive,Quantum Break,D4,Ryse,Fable legends, forza horizon2, Age of Mythology and many more incoming yet you say there are no exclusives?. Wth?

Deal with it guys,we all know you may not like the xbox one and its totally ok to have your preferences but it aint right to just keep spilling false info about stuff and so you know the xbox one aint going anywhere, it may not sell as fast as the ps4 but its definitly selling well and fans have great ips to look forward to.

E3 is around the corner and im certain time will tell if i am right or wrong.

Gamer6663665d ago

You are implying that the speed of the hardware is the only thing that adds value to a console.

It is a significant component, but last generation the Wii had inferior hardware and as far outsold both 360 and PS3.

Some people look at other aspects of the machine.

Some people see value in XBL because its uptime is generally accepted to be higher than the PSN.

Some people know that MS's track record on console and network security is better than Sony's.

Some people see value in Kinect as a family and social gaming tool.

Some people see value in the full-fledged operating systems that the XBox One has and features like snap that it enables.

I see some things on the PS4 that are unique as well. But, only fanboys care solely about the specs of the machine because that is not the only feature that is attractive to consumers... If it was then The Wii would've never won last generation, and the PS2 wouldn't have won the previous generation because their specs were not the most powerful on the market. What we are seeing this generation is something new. MS has shipped a console with Kinect as a required device. Just like Sony gambled that Blu-ray would help it long term, MS is doing the same with Kinect. The verdict is still out as to whether it will or won't help.
