The peeps over at Digital Foundry just uploaded a side-by-side video of Battlefield 4 on Xbox One vs. PlayStation 4.
The video was to test the frame rate difference (if any) between the two consoles on this highly demanding, and highly anticipated game. However, right away it becomes painfully obvious there are a lot more differences between the two consoles than a near identical, rock solid frame rate.

HOLY MOTHER OF (fill in your deity here). No wonder Sony has a review embargo the whole internet is complaining about, in place over PS4 games. The difference is night and day in Xbox One's favor. Look at this vid put together by Digital Foundry. There can be zero doubt in the minds of anyone watching this, the PS4 version has inferior graphic fidelity. The lighting and the textures are far superior on the Xbox One version - and it makes a huge difference that is so easy to see, that even the blind can tell the difference. On closer inspection, even the particle effects are better on the Xbox One. If every multi-platform game acquits itself likewise, then it is no wonder Sony has a strict embargo in place. This is the PS3 vs. Xbox 360 launch all over again; multi-platform games are probably going to be better on the Xbox (that's not even counting dedicated servers for online play).
And just like that, months and months of talk about the PS4 being twice as powerful Xbox One, just turned into one of the biggest jokes all year.
