Microsoft: Xbox One vs PS4 Spec Difference is "Fairly Marginal"

[Dohc-WP]

Talking purely about system specifications, a Microsoft executive has called the difference between the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 "fairly marginal."

The quote comes from Microsoft’s Australasian vice president of retail sales & marketing Alan Bowman, while musing on the future of the Xbox One to GamePlanet.

"We’re optimistic about this generation," said Bowman. "We’ve got a unique value proposition, and from just a pure specs perspective it’s always gonna be fairly marginal difference. The purists are gonna argue the toss, but I think it comes down to the games.

"You’re gonna see great exclusive games on Xbox One, and when you look at the cross-platform games, and there’s gonna be exclusive content on Xbox One."

Bowman addressed the Xbox One's limited global availability issue, adding: "we’d like to be in more markets – this is a global business – but it’s also a long-term business, and we’ll progressively launch in more markets over the coming year."

I think it's fairly safe to say that the PS4 just did everything better than the XBox One... and this is coming from a Microsoft fan!

If an exec says it is fairly marginal then you know that it is a huge margin.

M$ fucked up and Sony did it right.

I am missing my achievos.

Uhm... Does this have to happen with every console they release? They're a bunch of slackers.

Every night I dream of a ps4 and that also comes from someone that loves microsoft, with windows 7 on pc's, nokia lumia and a xbox 360.

So my heart is telling me choose xbox , but my head is screaming ps4.
