The thing is that IQ is not just determined by display resolution and framerate. Stuff like texture resolution, ambient occlusion, anti-aliasing solutions, lighting simulation, and physics simulation play a huge role, too. Even if X1 games finally consistently clock at 1080p display resolution, by then, PS4 games will be way ahead on other attributes.

Bingo.  Although it should be said that the ESRAM does in fact make the resolution problem more pronounced.

It's not just the ESRAM. The X1 only has half the fillrate of the PS4's. A high fillrate is very important because it measures how many pixels a graphics card can render and write to memory per second.
