Microsoft continues to tinker with Xbox One, the planned successor to Xbox 360, ahead of its launch to make it more competitive with Sony's PlayStation 4 (PS4). In a podcast on www.majornelson.com, a website managed by Lawrence Hryb, Xbox Live VP Marc Whitten said that the new gaming console would run its graphics chip at 853MHz and not at 800MHz as announced earlier.
Haryb, who is popularly known as Major Nelson among gamers, is director of programming for Xbox Live.
Unlike other computing products, the life-cycle of consoles is significantly longer and hence the stakes are high whenever a new console hits the market. Xbox 360 and PS3, the predecessor of PS4, debuted in the market almost 7 years ago. Xbox One and PS4 will go on sale by the end of this year and will likely be in the market for at least four to five years.
Microsoft had earlier hinted the performance gap between PS4 and Xbox One might not matter because developers building games for Xbox One would have the option to use cloud computingto speed up game performance.
