Of course Xbox One can do 1080p, 60fps, you guys are crazy

So why are the PS4 versions of those games better?

PS4 and Xbone have the same architecture based of x86.

Developers are coding closer to hardware on the PS4 than they are with the Xbox One.  The PS4's GPU is an AMD GPU without any functional changes from what AMD designed.  To take advantage of the features of the Xbox One's hardware, you have to use the Xbox One's APIs.  The Xbox One's GPU in order to get the best performance requires taking advantage of the eSRAM.  You can develop without using the eSRAM but you're not getting the performance level you would get using it. 

It's had been widely reported that Microsoft had been working actively to improve the performance of their graphical API late in the development cycle of the console.  Most third-party developers/publishers were ready with their code long before Microsoft was finished with theirs. 

My guess is that the changes were significant enough that just recompiling with the latest version of the API wasn't going to improve the performance.  In order to do that developers would need to R&D the code to ensure it worked correctly and offered both the performance and graphical fidelity that they wanted.

Once those changes get implemented into the game engines, my guess is that you'll see fewer and fewer differences between the consoles graphical fidelity.  Until then, as with the PS3 and Xbox 360, there will be games that shine on one console and not the other.

I Agree with you, but you have to understand that the PS4 is not going to stay stagnant. Optimization is going to be greater every time and its going to take advantage of the hardware. So I think that there will always be a gap between the 2 systems.
