See, this is how to properly deal with resolution issues. The X1 is clearly less powerful than the ps4, but not as much as people think. A resolution difference is literally all that's needed to appease both groups, and the the most technologically reasonable.

I often hear that people: "think the gap in technological power is bigger than it actually is". Since you're the latest to say this, I'm curious, how close are the systems, relatively, and how does that compare to the differences that people "actually think they are"?

That would depend on what you consider a key difference in performance.

The x1 has slower ram than ddr5 on the ps4, but has access to esram. If used properly, the differences can be voided. 

CPU's are pretty much the same, the exception being that the X1's cpu is more customized, and has 1.75ghz vs 1.66ghz. Not sure how that would improve performance though.

As for graphical capabilities, it's 1.3 vs 1.8 teraflops, as well as the ps4 having the much faster gddr5 capapabilities.  

Honestly, I wouldn't expect games to be too different, outside of resolution, and possibly some shading. Most games so far have proven this.
