Yeah.... that's quite a false statement there. XBL has gone down quite a few times this gen already. -_-

Reviewers give the same score because they usually rate just one version of the game and then, give that same score for the other version. Even if they do look at both versions, they look at the content of the game, not so much on the resolution. Sometimes, they do put framerate into account, but that's if there are instances of low framerate (e.g. X1 version of Tomb Raider: DE). And I don't know what you're seeing from Digital Foundary. In their analyses, the PS4 wins outright in resolution and/or framerate.

Also, think about this. If the scores between X1 and PS4 multiplats are the same, why aren't the sales the same for each version? Why is it that a lot more people buy the PS4 version than the X1 version? Wouldn't people not get the PS4 version because of PSN going down "all the time" and buy the X1 version because XBL is better? But we're seeing a lot more people buying the PS4 version. Why is it so? Maybe because the PS4 versions of multiplats are significantly better version and PSN actually doesn't go down all the time.

You say that the PS4 has been lacking in AAA games. Well that's incredibly false, too... If you have done actual research, you wouldn't have said that.

No, if it was signifincantly better on ps4 reviewers would've noted this for sure. Are you already forgetting last gen where Bayonetta, Orange Box, Skrim, Fallout and more have points docked on the PS3 version? If reports came that the xbox one version was significantly worse reviewers would've said something. The reason why ps4 version of games sell more is because of the playstation brand being more popular. Hell, there were multiplat games on ps3 that were worse than the 360 version (bayonetta for example) that sold more on the ps3 than the 360. Just goes to show nobody cares about slightly better graphics or frames per second. I can give you more proof if you would like.

The reason why the PS3 versions got docked because they had a bunch of technicality issues to the point that it affected gameplay. Anything below 30 fps is a huge "no-no" as well as conspicuous jaggies. This is a stark contrast to X1 vs. PS4 argument, here. While the X1 versions are within "playable" standards, the PS4 versions just run significantly better. Either they look much better or they run smoother. Sometimes, the difference goes beyond that. In COD: Ghosts, for example, the color pallette in the X1 version was horrendous. While the water was blue in the PS4 version, the water was green on the X1. In Battlefield 4, not only did the PS4 have higher resolution, but it had ambient occlusion while the X1 version did not have it. In Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, not only did the PS4 have over twice the pixel density, it also had better weather effects and lighting.

So while the X1 multiplats play within acceptable standards, there's a much better versions of the same games on the PS4 and why would people purposely deprive themselves of that luxury?
