Xbox General Manager Dave McCarthy is exuding confidence in the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine UK. In an interview (via SirusGaming), McCarthy welcomes comparisons to the PS4 Pro. He thinks that the Xbox One X is in another league. In fact, he doesn't even think it's a fair comparison. He'd rather people start comparing the Xbox One X to high-end PC hardware, since that's the performance bracket that Microsoft is claiming to occupy. Here's what he said:

“Well on some levels I think there’s aspects of even Xbox One S that I’d compare [to the PS4 Pro] in terms of HDR gaming, 4K video streaming capabilities, 4K Blu-ray support. There are only two consoles in the world that support 4K Blu-ray, and they’re both Xbox Ones – Xbox One S and Xbox One X. I make more of a comparison [with Xbox One X] to what the higher end PCs are doing right now."

Now there's a strong boast! Forget the video game console that Sony is pushing, says McCarthy. That's pretty cute, but Microsoft is reaching for next-level resolution and next-level performance. When you think Xbox One X, don't think home console, think high-end gaming machine. He continues:

"There is a big difference with 40% more processing power, in terms of ensuring that consistent frame rate, including that frame buffer that’s going to get you all those 4K textures, ensuring the spatial audio is going to be at a premium for you. So it really is that top-end experience."
