The lack of X1 1080p is a pure software problem since (simplified explanation) the ESRAM was considered to be too small to render 1080p because the data did not fit inside. But the new SDK allows to use this memory much more efficiently by streaming only needed data from the main memory into the ultra fast ESRAM. So 1080p can and will be standard in future X1 games.
The PS4 is still much stronger and Sony will improve their SDK also.
