It looks like all the fuss on the PS4 and the Xbox One's resolution-gate has prompted Microsoft to speak up for their game console.

"Let's be clear about this: Xbox One fully supports 1080p at 60 frames-per-second," Microsoft UK marketing head Harvey Eagle told The Guardian.

"Forza Motosport 5 is an example of a game that delivers on that. It's up to individual developers to determine what is the best balance in order to deliver the best experience to gamers," the marketing head said in the report.

He also added, "No longer can you measure or talk about power in terms of pixels and polygon counts. Performance in this era comes from three areas: hardware, software and the cloud."

The statement comes after numerous reports of the PS4 playing more titles at a higher resolution compared with the Microsoft counterpart.

It has been detailed in a previous report that according to @shinobi602, an upcoming hacker game, thought to be Watch Dogs, plays 900p/30fps on the Xbox One and 1080p/30fps on the PS4.

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes also reportedly plays better on the PS4 at 1080p against the Xbox One's 720p says game creator Hideo Kojima.

To add to the list, Thief also reportedly barely runs 900p on the Xbox One while resolution is at full 1080p on the Sony counterpart. Thief runs 30 frames per second on both game consoles, notes Jeremy Conrad in a tweet.

The Xbox-maker has previously commented on the resolution-gate issue between the two game consoles. In a Gamertagradio podcast, Xbox director of product planning Albert Penello said, "I think if you look at the titles that we launched that were multiplatform titles, the bulk of them were the same [resolution and frame rate]. I think there were 12 titles released on both platforms [PS4 and Xbox One], and all but three of them had basically the same performance on both boxes.

"Everybody wants to focus on...there's a frame rate thing going on with Tomb Raider, there is a resolution thing going on and OK, there's a lot of reasons why that could be true but we are weeks in, we just shipped, it's a long generation," he added.

It's been a month since the podcast but the Xbox One seems to still be facing the same roadblock. Is Microsoft's game box really 1080p 60fps capable? Share your thoughts on the poll and comments section.
