       So both are graphically crap compared to high end PCs, is that
       the gist?
       Frankly, I couldn't give a monkeys. I'm getting a PS4 at some
       point and that's that.
       Gaming PCs are for people that like to sit in darkened rooms
       with headsets on, coordinating their movements with the rest of
       their team in unbelievably complex squad games or for sociopaths
       who play fantasy MMOs in full costume. For DAYS. Single people
       in other words.

       yes that and the fact that ps4 will obtain you said crappy
       comparison graphics 50x as fast as the sloth-like Xbox One.
       There was also a notion put out that developers would not make
       PS4 games better looking than Xbox One games so they didnt piss
       off Microsoft, despite this 50x advantage, bummer.

       Its same for me as well Carlos.  If it did come out that PS4 was
       widely acknowledged to be better in most of the crucial elements
       then i would probably switch.  But you will never reach that
       consensus, just reading that article its always PS4 seems to be
       better at this but on other hand Xbox could be better at this.
       Apparently nothing is confirmed until the consoles are released
       either.   So like you say, just stick to what you know and love.
       
       Plus, what do Edge know anyway, their magazines are all style
       and no substance.

       I didn't read anything was better on xbox...
       Both consoles specs wise are really disappointing if you think
       about it, 8 years ago ps3 had better specs then you could have
       on your pc, the next gen has less then my pc currently has..if
       only game developers made games for my linux setup and I would
       switch to pc gaming (natural in a darkened rooms with headsets
       on ;))
       the console as a media player isn't a selling point for me, my
       pc can handle that better then any console ever could

       Well Beuk i cant say that surprises me :D but surely this
       developers opinion from that article counts
       "Xbox One does, however, boast superior performance to PS4 in
       other ways. “Let’s say you are using procedural generation or
       raytracing via parametric surfaces – that is, using a lot of
       memory writes and not much texturing or ALU – Xbox One will be
       likely be faster,” said one developer"
       And yep that pretty much means jackshit to me but a victory is a
       victory right, whatever it may be :)  but thats partly my point,
       its all he said she said, who really cares? you will buy a ps4
       and i will buy an xbox one and the world will continue to spin
       as per normal ;)

       Thats pure theoretical, when will a game render raytracing with
       a lot of memory writes and not use much texturing?
       *shakes head in disbelieve*
       Not buying the new console at the release so I have time to see
       how things develop

       Given the recent information regarding cod, bf and titianfall
       only running at 720 and not 1080 I am somewhat concerned about
       the capabilities of the xbox one. It was always going to be
       slightly less powerfull given the differences in ram, however I
       would expect a next gen console to run at 1080 full hd from the
       get go. The 360 runs at 720, and that's 7 years old. The
       information from both Microsoft and the games companies seems to
       be contradictory so a bit more investigation is required.
       I am loath to cancel but I do need to be reassured that this is
       a blip and that once the new setup is better understood there
       will be less difference between the two consoles, even the wii U
       can run at 1080.

       Ought, reading something I wrote a while back and not
       understanding a word of it ;D
       Indeed surprising the new gen doesn't have fullhd from the start
