Will there be that big of a gap? Or any gap at all?

Not only that, my graphical expectation of a game of this type won't push either system.

I have a One and plan on getting a PS4 when it feels like there are enough games for it - so I hold no bias.

With that said, if you have both or are choosing a system based on it - I'd look at the PS4 for one reason and one reason only - physical space. Depending on how you set it up - with the portal next to the console - the One is hte size of a VCR - so it's already eating up significant retail space in an entertainment setup. On the flip, the PS4 is a good size smaller.


But I don't expect any actual variation in quality or performance of either system.

I don't think ANYONE should buy a console because I is smaller. It's about the games. Like you, I have an Xbox One, but would someday like a PS4 once enough games I wants come out on it. Size should never be a factor to what system you get.

Anyway, on topic, there won't be much of a difference. If really any at all. Yeah, the specs of the ps4 are slightly better, but like it was said above, this game won't be pushing either system to their limits. If you have to choose between the two platforms, just pick which one you prefer to play on.

The gap won't be that big, most PS4 games run at 1080p 60fps and most Xbox ONE games run at 900p and 60fps. You'd have to look really closely to see the difference.

Skylanders will run at 30fps, so both systems will most likely be able to achieve 1080p without any problem. Back when the game was revealed, they said that they were showing the PS4 version because it was the best looking version but take that with a grain of salt since there's no way of knowing if that's true or just sneaky marketing between Activision and Sony.

oh no, don't get me confused - I'm not saying buy the system because of the size. I'm saying if you have no reason to go either direction, retail space is a metric to throw in to help with deciding.

No step one should ALWAYS be the games. I got the One because of Killer Instinct and the M$ exclusives. I figured Sony would have some good exclusives eventually, but for hte first year and some change, most games are on both platforms and the performance delta is at a level that I'll ignore...I've got a Wii U also...if I wanted to tier systems, you really have the One and the PS4 on the same level wit hhe Wii U below that - and that's the first separation in performance.

In that case, they'll be almost identical.

Yeah, there probably will be a difference (because a lot of the time there is) but it'll be such a small difference that you wouldn't notice and quite frankly shouldn't be worried about.

For a game like Skylanders, they don't need to use maximum power for graphics, so it's gonna be the same on both consoles. They only showing on PS4 because that overrated console sold more than Xbox One.

Blame MS for including the Kinect at launch. And reallly, they are are both overrated. Souped up PCs still rue the day.
