With the next-gen consoles incoming it\u2019s inevitable that the Xbox One and Playstation 4 specs will be measured up against one another, and Microsoft itself has done so in a less formal fashion.<\/p>\n
Writing on NeoGAF forums, Microsoft director of product planning Albert Penello wanted to clear up some of his statements about the power of the Xbox One, and explained further what he meant regarding the hardware in the next-gen consoles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI see my statements the other day caused more of a stir than I had intended,\u201d said Penello. \u201cI was hoping my comments would lead the discussion to be more about the games (and the fact that games on both systems look great) as a sign of my point about performance, but unfortunately I saw more discussion of my credibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do want to be super clear: I’m not disparaging Sony. I’m not trying to diminish them, or their launch or what they have said. But I do need to draw comparisons since I am trying to explain that the way people are calculating the differences between the two machines isn’t completely accurate. I think I’ve been upfront I have nothing but respect for those guys, but I’m not a fan of the mis-information about our performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Penello then listed some of the key points about some of the consoles\u2019 specific parts \u201cto consider\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully with some of those more specific points people will understand where we have reduced bottlenecks in the system. I’m sure this will get debated endlessly but at least you can see I’m backing up my points,\u201d concluded Penello.<\/p>\n
Microsoft\u2019s Xbox One is on track to launch in thirteen countries around the world (22 November in the UK) and will be debuting at a price of $499 in the US and Canada. PlayStation 4 will release on 29 November in Europe, Australia and New Zealand and 15 November in the US and Canada.<\/p>\n
