9 Confessions Of A PS4 Owner After Buying An Xbox One

6. Graphics Really Do Make A Difference

Anyone who says graphics don't make a difference is a liar. While small lighting and rendering discrepancies can be mostly ignored, the technical performance of a game, from its frame-rate to its resolution, has a massive impact on your enjoyment of any given title.

If you have both consoles there's no way you're going to buy a version of a game that's sightly inferior technically speaking, which unfortunately for the Xbox One is almost always how their third-party releases turn out.

So while graphical fidelity and technical performance might not be too much of a problem if you only have the choice to buy games on one machine, the disparity in versions of the same title across different consoles is only another reason to commit to one of your systems exclusively for all multiplatform releases.
