PS4 has a better GPU, faster RAM, and no games (as far as I'm aware on searching) that run at 720p as the maximum resolution. 900p was pretty much the bare minimum for resolution on PS4. Xbox One had a few games at 720p.

Devs thought of a PS4 as more capable by an obvious margin, but I agree that it doesn't seem like a big difference to the eye. 

Diablo IV, The Hong Kong Massacre, Ark Survival Evolved, and Magnetic: Cage Closed all top out at 720p on PS4.

There were a few other sub-900p PS4 games too like Tekken 7 which was 864p. It wasn't common, but it wasn't unheard of either.

Thank you for the fact check. While my point stands overall that PS4 almost universally performed equal or better to the XBONE, I was unaware how close it was sometimes. 

I don't know about you or the others on this thread, but I find it so misleading that the 7th Generation is often called the HD Generation. While Wii was intentionally underpowered and Blue Ocean, it had no HD support. Xbox 360 and PS3 had a maximum resolution of 720p in almost every game, with some even lower than that. 360 had under a dozen if I found accurate results on a search and PS3 only had a few dozen 1080p games. 

8th Generation was the true "HD Generation" in my mind. Wii U supported 720p almost all the time with some games higher than that. Xbox One and PS4 had no sub 720p games that I know of and plenty at 900p and some at 1080p. And then PS4 Pro and Xbox One X opened up higher resolutions but with some 4K.

The 9th Generation or maybe the upcoming 10th Generation would be the "4K Generation".
