Probably Forza 5 really.

Important to notice that not only Forza has pedigree compared to DC but also that you have DirectX 11 on the XB1 side which devs are already familiar with. It will take a couple of years for Sony to polish the "PS libraries" for the PS4, that's the rate in which devs can better program for the PS4.

The PS4 is easy to program for...

 

PlayStation 4 currently beats Xbox One in terms of raw power and has a more mature developer environment, Avalanche Studios has told us.The Just Cause creator is working with each next gen console right now, and says that in terms of pure specifications and working environment, PS4 is the preferable console.

I'm not a game developer myself but I'll go with my guts on this due to past dev experience with Sony systems.

The development tools for the XB1 are more fleshed out than what's available for the PS4. Programming for the PS4 (compared to PS3 and X360) is easier since it's on x86 now but that doesn't mean developers have access to all possible capabilities of the PS4 right out the gate. It will take time for Sony to polish their tools available to devs. 

 

Yes no more Cell or PowerPC at least, that by all accounts will make it easier all round for devs.

Both systems are getting plenty of development tool support from middleware, yes SONY for will need to continue to polish the accessibility to the PS4 and I think they understood this was key from the experience with PS3 and Cell, they are in new territory now with x86 but going by the vibe from developers they are doing a good job thus far.

Some info on the evolution of the PS4 Dev kit.
