Microsoft seems to be forcing developers to downgrade the ps4 visuals to match xbox one games through parity clause.

COD is almost synonimous with xbox, I would not be surprised if MS paid a lot of $$ to keep one of its flagships relevant to its platform. The same with sports games. But I would not worry for any other games cuz it would cost them to much since the ps4 is selling 2:1 to x1.

Why wouldn't they have done that last year with COD: Ghosts? 

There is no way that the PS4 version of COD: Advanced Warfare will have a lower rez than COD: Ghosts. Either Xbox One version hits 1080p or parity isn't happening. Why on earth would people think parity = PS4 downgrade as opposed to Xbox upgrade? Negativity gets clicks I guess. Especiall anti-ms negativity.

Why dint they? well maybe cyz last year it would not matter since all consoles where going to sell out no matter what and now that people know whats up and theres going to be a choice in the matter MS has to take precaution. Maybe last year since it was the launch of a new gen then they had to prove that this game was truly next gen and couldnt afford to gimp the ps4 version because it will loose hype. There are many unknowns you cant be certain of anything so dont inmediatly reject all opinions if you yourself have no prove either.

But I agree with you that there is almost no way that they will downgrade the ps4 below ghost. But there is a chance that last cod was rushed and both versions could have done better, and they could avoid improving the ps4(who knows it might look better than it did last year) this time and just work on the x1 version.
