Well it's just one game... IIRC COD is supposed to be 1080p on the PS4, and Forza on the XBone, but we'll see soon. A PC is still going to run graphical rings around these consoles *if* you want to spend the extra $$$ on it, but that's been true for a long time now.

Here's a nice unbiased report about the current troubles with both the Xbone & PS4 as we close in on Launch date.
Rumored Xbox One Launch Issues Lead To Lots Of Questions
Rumored Xbox One Launch Issues Lead To Lots Of Questions
No shit.
Think about it.
Battlefield - 64 players; Killzone - 24 players
Battlefield - tons of destruction and 'levelution'; Killzone - limited destuiction
Battlefield - huge maps that sprawl for miles; Killzone - small corridor maps
Battlefield - tons of vehicles; Killzone - nope.
Battlefield - 60fps; Killzone - 30fps
Battlefield was never going to look as good as Killzone on consoles.
Battlefield looks absolutely insane on top end PCs, though.

The comment section on that IGN link is amazing. The Xbros denial is running at dangerously high levels.

I feel like expectations were too high for the first batch of games running on the new consoles. People knew the systems were new for the developers and they didn't have adequate time to work on them + they were probably bugger, we also knew that they were mid-grade power, but still I think we hoped for image quality comparable to PC. When it comes out that they have some flaws and some FPS drop people get disappointed but it should've been expected.
I think the performance on both machines is pretty good and I don't think anyone with either console should be too worried or disappointed about it.

The day 1 patch is currently available for the PS4. If you have one on pre-order, you might be wise to download it ahead of time and use a USB card to install it. That way you don't have to worry about the servers being super bogged down on launch day.
PS4 1.5 Update File is apparently up on update servers - NeoGAF

This seems pretty conclusive and much different than the first comparison in that area. PS4 comes out on top here in ways different from aliasing and resolution. You can see the objects in the distance have a higher LOD on PS4 than Xbox and the PS4 does well with shadows that the xbox doesn't even attempt.

I have to give you props, a blind man actually finding a way to post written words.
Good comparison.
You need to get your eyes checked if you think the Bone looks better. The textures are night and day among other things.

The PS4 image definitely looks crisper, but also more aliased because it's not upscaled. In motion I think that the PS4 version would look better, but in a side by side still I can see why some would think the Xbone one looks better. But if you pay close attention to the detail of the textures and especially the geometry of the crane, the PS4 version looks a ton better IMO. Not to mention the UI elements.

the ESRAM size is perfectly fine for frame buffering at 1080p
1 1080p frame is 6.07MB (1920x1080 x 24bits. then / 8 to convert bits to bytes, and /1024 to convert bytes to MB) Even with triple buffering or additional added crap, there's still plenty of room for 1080p frames to run through ESRAM.
The question is though, will developers want to bother jacking with it for the extra added performance? Possibly not unless it's an XBOX exclusive game.
