Without going into all of the technical details, let’s start by pointing out the PS4 is clearly the superior device when compared to the Xbox 1. While this isn’t the case across the board, in what is perhaps the most important area, the graphics’ capabilities, the PS4 is definitely the superior.
When you compare the two, you have to accept the fact that the most substantive difference between the two is the difference in graphical capabilities. While the PS4 can easily handle a 1080p game, the Xbox is limited to 720p. Although while this is the case, the Xbox is capable of greater FPS than the Playstation.
You also need to consider the fact that Microsoft is a software company, so they surely have the greater capacity to improve upon the capabilities of the device through software development than the Playstation and Sony have. Although this is unlikely to completely remove the clear advantages of the PS4.
