Were Developers Pressuring Microsoft Regarding Xbox One’s Tech?
Following reports that Microsoft will be adjusting the Xbox One’s reserved computing power to better help with the parity between the system and the PlayStation 4, industry insider Ahsan “Thuway” Rasheed tweeted that developers were apparently angry regarding the gap between the two systems.
@ManaByte @TyrantII Programming for launch titles on Xbox One and asking for parity left no shortage of pissed off developers.

In the same conversation Jeremy Conrad of Furious Fanboys claims this adjustment comes from Respawn being unable to lock Titanfall at 60 frames per second.
All of this follows months of reports that games inherently run in higher resolution and with higher framerate on the PlayStation 4 than the Xbox One.
Developers are thankful for resolution gate for blowing up like it did. It shook things up at MS. It won’t make parity but every bit helps.

So what do you think? Do you think Microsoft made this change out of not only public pressure but pressure from developers? (Source: Expert Reviews)
