It was a FACT in my book the moment Cboat spit it with his crazy gibberish language.

Can't Sony apply the reverse pressure on the devs/pubs to not do this? Or is it whoever provides the bigger moneyhats? I mean if this really is true.
But how would you or anyone know that they really did that? No one would ever know if this really happened unless there is a leak from inside.

At least we would know the reason if some games turns out to be on pair on both consoles, people also seem to forget that third party games will also compete with first party games. If they gimp their games for "political" reasons on the ps4 then first party games will will look far better and will make developers look bad.
The specs.

I find it quite unbelievable that the largest software company in the world doesn't have a decent video driver ready for their own hardware that they've been working on for years. Something just doesn't seem right about that to me.

The point of the article and my OP was to discuss the maturity of the drivers for Xbox One
The other part of the article was indeed speculation on the author's part
I seriously don't consider the immaturity of the XB1 drivers to be a rumor at this point
Which is the point of the OP but of course no one cares about that

I have a feeling this 'we'll downgrade the PS4 version for reasons' started here as mere (paranoid) speculation.
I can't see it happening unless it's an industry wide practice and I don't see how that can realistically happen, imagine if the games of one or two publishers were noticeably better on PS4 but not so with the others? Not to mention said publishers didn't bother doing it for the current gen.

And according to other gaffers earlier in the thread it is, so....
Just saying, no need to dismiss an article based on one comment.
Why would Sony try to do this? They built a great system, it's not their fault that MS built a weak console. why would they start spending money just to ensure that devs utilise PS4 hardware? it's an ethical issue if true.

The Watch Dog thread is throwing fuel to the fire that's why.

There have been two members posts on gamingblog.fr
and
So now I have no idea
So far he's the only one to claim to be from France, so I feel his comments would hold a bit more value.
Edit: Nevermind, there have been 3 posters, 2 say its unreliable

Ummm, no. Sony did that with their cell. MS didn't force Sony to chuck it into their machines.
Anyway people seem to conveniently forget Sony held back both the original xbox and gamecube last generation. Why?
Well because the ps2 was the dominant platform. MS can only hold back Sony this upcoming gen IF they sell more or equal too Sony's console. All signs are pointing to that not happening. People need to calm down with their selective 'rage'.
Of course not. The immaturity of the XB1 drivers is something to discuss. But good luck in this thread. They took what they wanted and ran with it.

What is the rumour? that devs are having issue with the XO driver? which is the title
CBoat and Edge said the same thing.
3 separate points of confirmation, how many do you need exactly?

So he's not denying it? I will boycott any game that was downgraded on purpose on the ps4. DF articles are going to be my deciding factor when it comes to buying games next gen for sure.

I completely agree with you. Besides, I'm not really sure why a developer would be afraid of offending a hardware manufacturer when consoles desperately need titles. Could you imagine Microsoft saying, "no ubisoft, we don't want Watchdogs on our system because it looks arbitrarily better on our competitions system".
And people saying moneyhat; come on.

We're heading towards "lazy devs" part 2. Everything truly goes in circles.

We fucking created DirectX. Best software engineers. Balance. Tv. Tv. Tv. You all just wait and see. Numbers don't tell the whole story and don't mean shit... Until we announce a spec bump that is!
Fuck you MS. If PS4 multiplats are downgraded for "parity" I hope you lose your entire xbox division you pieces of scum.

Couldn't they just be regurgitating the Edge article?
Sounds like something they would do, they are quite used to just rehashing kotaku stuff mainly.

This might be true but it isn't a reliable source, they probably just read the rumour

Fuck you Microsoft.
Wow. I hadn't seen this. If the prresident of Sony's Worldwide Studios speculates about developers gimping their games in order not to anger MS, then something's really up... If this actually becomes reality, it's the fucking last time I ever buy a MS product. (Although the reality is that's easier said than done.)

Guys, you're being disrespectful to the hardworking engineers at Microsoft. Major Nelson is under his desk crying!
Indeed. What a miserable excuse for a software company.
Wasn't the Wii the dominant platform last gen? It sure didn't held back PS3/360. Also, Wii U continues to receive the bad end of ports and it seems they don't have a political BS like MS does.
What the fuck?
MS, I don't give a shit about your clusterfuck of a console.
Why should ps4 games be gimped for reasons which amount to corporate bullying?
If this is proven to be true, I won't be buying any of your products in the future.
I hope that he rises soon with some more spicy bits.
I don't know ... after my windows 8 experience it might become easier switching to steam os.

Large third party publishers hold most of the power in these relationships. The emotive language used here makes it sound all the more absurd.
