Reading this thread one would assume multiplats are being made with PS4 and PC in mind, with Durango getting downports.
Man you need to chill, no one is assuming that besides you. There is no way PS4 games will match PC games down the line.
You're too invested in this.
If anything, porting games between PC and 720/PS4 is going to easier than ever.
Why is it so hard to believe that MS could have a slightly weaker box?
One of then is going to have inferior specs, there is no way both Durango and PS4 will have the exact same performance with different parts.
As I said, if MS was surprised by Sony in any way, then that might be an indication that they were not prepared and that they maybe needed to react in some way.
But since it seems that they expected to have a slight disadvantage in specs. you can be sure that they feel prepared for that and are going to stick to their plan.
Frankly I'm interested in what they have to say and I believe most of us will be pleasantly surprised, even if Durango is not as impressive tech wise. As much as I like shiny graphics they are not everything.
