Asked how the two consoles compare, he told Edge: "It's difficult to say, as it's still early days when it comes to drivers. With each new driver release, performance increases dramatically in some areas.
"The PlayStation 4 environment is definitely more mature currently, so Microsoft has some catching up to do. But I'm not too concerned about that as they traditionally have been very good in that area.
"The specs on paper would favour the PS4 over the Xbox One in terms of raw power," Blomberg added, "but there are many other factors involved so we'll just have to wait and see a bit longer before making that judgment."
Avalanche founder and chief creative officer Christofer Sundberg said the studio received early access to Xbox One and that he was impressed with Microsoft's console.
"It's a fantastic piece of hardware offering a huge range of possibilities for developers to connect with players in ways that have been close to impossible to date," he said.
"Next generation to me has always meant more than nice graphics. I don't really see any big negatives at this point. For me, the success of the new consoles will be determined by how much freedom developers will have to make our gaming experiences customized for our fans."
Microsoft took the wraps off its new console at an Xbox One reveal event on Tuesday, when it confirmed that the system will launch around the world "later this year".
Sony revealed PS4 in February, when it confirmed a PS4 release date of "holiday 2013" in at least one of Japan, Europe and the US. The company didn't show off the console's form factor, but it did release a list of PS4 specs.
