The hardware is different different speeds. The graphics card in the ps4 is a higher performance card so is the memory. The CPU in the XBOXONE on the other hand is 1\4 % faster that's due to the multi tasking the XBOXONE is designed to due. XBOXONE natural state is to play in 720p but Microsoft 2nd major patch overclocked the card to reach higher performance. So it's all about what your looking for. FYI PC's did everything these system do years ago.
