Ubisoft is quite proud of Sony's PlayStation 4 specifications and, while refraining from spilling any details, it mentioned that Microsoft's Xbox 720 is aligned with what Sony announced back in February.

Sony revealed to the world the PlayStation 4 recently, and more recently it shared other details at the Game Developers Conference last week.

Ubisoft is quite proud of the PS4 and was able to show off a live gameplay demo of Watch Dogs largely because it already had PCs with specifications close to those of the next-gen Sony console, according to Yannis Mallat, who talked with Eurogamer about the new consoles.

While Mallat didn't reveal anything about the Xbox 720, he did say that the next-gen console from Microsoft would be "aligned with what Sony announced."

He also mentioned that social features and connectivity would be major aspects of the new devices.

"It's going to be connected. It's going to be social. It's going to be immersive. It's going to be interactive," he added.

According to recent rumors, the Xbox 720 will be revealed in May.
