The difference was much less but there was plenty bickering over 80 lines or less of difference

Just use Google.

The ps3 did have some advantages in other areas to compensate, sometimes better shadows, no black crush, or lighting said to be closer to the look of the pc version. It did have other disadvantages as well, long install times, less consistent frame rate, less detail.

Anyway seems you're rewriting history.
Resolution is the most noticeable this gen because the difference is much bigger, especially when one hits native display resolution and the other upscales.


It is not noticable for me. I suppose if I played the same game side by side on identical tvs I might notice some difference, but on its own its not very noticable. On paper it is a huge difference but in reality it is not easy to percieve. huge fps discrepencies and missing graphical effects/details on the other hand are very obvious, but most people focus on resolution now a days. 

I don't own an X1 so I can't say with any certainty but the conversation has been so monopolized by the resolution discussion that it would seem that resolution is the only major difference between X1 versions and PS4 versions. I think there was one game I heard about where the framerate on the X1 was much worse than the PS4. If only the resolution is different this gen then that I do not consider that as big a difference from last gen where some of the PS3 multiplats were downright sloppy... it wasn't always just graphics either. There were ps3 games that just didn't play well, were buggy or had online issues that were non-existant on the Xbox. The conversations I remember were usually more about that than resolution.
