I won't enter in more details but PS4 won in everyting for the sharing feature...

+ Was fast and easy UI
+ 15 minutes
+ Screenshots
+ Twitch and USteam
+ Way better quality

PS4 is far ahead in broadcasting features but even so lacks some high quality options.

BTW I did my own tests last week in a GAF thread (I think I was the only to show real results).

Pictures

Internal: 200-400k JPEG
After upload to Twitter: 50-100k JPEG

Sto the twitter did a hell of compression over the original PS4 picture you see on PS4 but the PS4 picture is not good enought yet... needs some lossless PNG option (2-4MB pictures).

We needs more sharing services too.

Video

Internal: 8 Mbps (1MB/s) bitrate
After upload to Facebook: I can't check but the video on PS4 plays with way better quality than Facebook (Facebook again did a hell of compression over the original)

8Mbps bitrate is not bad.. it is half of most Blu-ray movies quality but the lack of options to share and the heavly compression of Facebook is killing the video on web... I don't expect YouTube to solve that because it have low quality videos too like Facebook.

We need some high-definition sharing service or the hability to export the videos to PC (already planeed to future update).

Sony needs to give us options to record 1080p and 60fps videos too.

So far it is a good start... needs to improve.

early days.

review it in 12 months

You've been advocating this wait and see stance a lot lately! What's happened?

I remember you wanting quality right then and there. None of this later nonsence.

The PS4 is clearly the better equipped console for now and later however you look at it. If only Microsoft had let go of this Kinect madness :S

Both will improve.

10 minutes difference is huge. What's the limitation for xbone in this case?

I don't know what the limitation but PS4 have addictional hardware (CPU and Memmory) for that... the biggest difference is the quality but even PS4 have quality issues after the upload (they needs better services)... the video in PS4 have great quality BTW but you can't export to PC or external HDD/PenDrive yet.
