Does PS4 or XBone have better graphics?

I recently joined the ranks of gamers with both consoles, and i love it! They both have their own strengths and weaknesses. But i am now wondering which one is better in the sense of graphics/framerate/ect.(performance). I heard that Bloodborne's reason for not being on Xbox is because it can't run it as well as the PS4, so that got me wondering if i should start buying most of my games on PS4 based on that. I'd appreciate if anyone has some actual knowledge on the difference in specs between the two consoles. [b][u]Edit:[/u][/b] [i]I did some searching and it looks like the xb1 is slightly lower in detail (very slightly), but it has variable framerate that will automatically adjust between 30-40fps while the ps4 has a static 30fps. So basically, ps4 is slightly better in graphics but has a higher chance of lag, while the xbox has slightly less detailed graphics but is smoother on framerate and less likely to lag. So i think i'll get The Witcher 3 on xbox.[/i]

  • PS4 is 1080 but gets a lot of frame rate drops in certain situations. XBox runs 1080 and 900 up-scaled, but has less frame rate drops. The general consensus is that the PS4 looks a smidgen better. The only time I've seen horrendous frame rate issues was in a Bloodborne chalice dungeon with three witches summoning 9 soot-demon things. The summoning effect x9 = 5 FPS. It bothers me more than it normally would for two reasons, BB is a PS4 exclusive and should have that sort of thing ironed out and 2, any frame rate issues in a game like BB will get you killed in short order. The remastered games and Destiny are super stable with frame rates. Which makes me wonder about Destiny. Side by side with a casual eye, there's no difference really. Honestly I've been playing so much Dark Souls 2, every next gen game looks like a freaking work of art by comparison. That's what happens when you sacrifice some graphical wonder for solid gameplay, and I'm not complaining. But yes, it's technically a remaster, and a tiny one at that <12GB (it's practically an indie game). So really, your choices of console should boil down to two things. Which menu UI you like better and which one your friends play. Also, if you want to keep playing Halo for another 15 years, Xbox is where you want to be. If you're really looking forward to an Amy Hennig-less Uncharted 4, PS4 is your bag. Both consoles have suffered a masterful tech demo paraded as a game. PS4 had The Order 1886 and XB1 had Ryse. So if you want to see how pretty each respective console is, I guess go rent those or hit up your local store display.
