So....about that Xbox One version

It's almost weekend, the release of The Witcher 3 is nearing and i wonder how the Xbox One version is coming along. There's a good chance that version is finished now, but recently they said they were still optimizing things. My question is, does CDPR mean optimizing the game via a patch? Cause....you know....the game is being sold in the stores in the Middle-East for a few days now, the Xbox One version too. As a Xbox One owner, my only new gen console until i buy the PS4 next year, it's mildly frustrating and annoying to only hear about the PS4 version in reviews, videos, forum talk and so on....so damn close to release.

There was a message from CDPR recently that the PS4 performance would improve with the patch, but what about Xbox One? Is it that this version already has those improvements or will there be a patch for that version too? I doubt i have missed any kind of news regarding Xbox One, but is there an update at all? Anything from the developers?

They released a X1 video on their official channel on youtube, you might want to check that out

I've seen that video. I was just wondering if there's an update. Maybe a word on when we can expect some reviews of this version. Which for me basically means...an expanation of the diffferences between the console versions. The chance is quite big that the difference is small, but we can't know for sure.

I'm guessing after release date...

I'm sure there will be a day 1 patch for the Xbox too.

This is the last update we got from them for the Xbone:

The video you’re now watching is grabbed directly from an Xbox One console. We’ve been working to give gamers an even better experience on Xbox One and, on day 1, we’ll bring you dynamic scaling from 900p to 1080p. We’re not much more than a week before launch, but we’re still fighting for every line of code — we want gamers to get the best possible experience we can deliver.

Yeah, should mean the game will be fine on Xbox One next week. But i dunno man, i like reading analysis and watching videos of how all the versions look, was hoping that some sites would be able to get some footage this week of the One, but i guess not. So yeah....most definitely next week after it comes out. I probably won't have the patience to wait for these videos though.

Oh wow, i just saw a thread on NeoGAF where this guy claims he heard from another dude who played both console versions that the won't believe the difference between the two. Long story short, he told him the PS4 version is the one to get. These guys really won't let it rest....wow. It looks mighty fine in the new videos.

One guy heard from another guy who heard another guy, yeah, I don't buy it. Sorry, but there's no credibility to such statements and it sound more like console bias.

Also from the videos I've seen so far, XBO and PS4 look identical.

Exactly man. And the one footage that beats these videos is from one guy who used a capture card. That's PS4 footage and i am sure if someone were to do that for the Xbox One version, it would look pretty similar to that. The footage i mean...and where i remain so incredibly impressed with is:

SO crisp.

The other videos from both PS4 and Xbox One that are all compressed on Youtube, they look identical to me too.
