CoD: Ghosts Native 1080p on PS4, 720p on Xbox One?
It is reported that Call of Duty: Ghosts will run native 1080p on PlayStation 4 and upscaled 720p on Xbox One.Multiple sources from around the web report that while Call of Duty: Ghosts has been confirmed to run at a native 1080p on PlayStation 4, there's growing evidence that the Xbox One version will natively run at 720p, but will be upscaled.
NeoGAF members have shared their confusion over the fact that when we recently got a chance to preview the game, it was shown off on PlayStation 4 rather than Xbox One. Considering the franchise's long history with Microsoft, including exclusive content, they posit that the only reason the PS4 would be used is because the game looks better on that console rather than on Xbox One.
While this may just sound like a conspiracy theory, a host of supporting evidence has now been put forward to support the claim. For starters, when Microsoft's Albert Penello was asked on Twitter about the rumour, he responded, "I've seen COD: Ghosts running on Xbox One. It looks f'n amazing. Wait for real footage, then judge for yourself."
While the words are comforting, they don't address the claims that the game is native 720p. Similarly, the company's Phil Spencer responded by saying, "As first party I don't get builds of 3rd party games. I know what our 1st party games are doing." Compared with Sony's Adam Boyes proudly announcing at the PlayStation Brazil conference that the game runs at a native 1080p on PlayStation 4, the evasive answers have understandably raised eyebrows.
Obviously there are people out there who know what resolution the game runs at on Xbox One, but several journalists including Forbes' Erik Kain and Furious Fanboys' Jeremy Conrad have come forward to claim an NDA forbids talking about it. The embargo date for all reviews is reportedly on November 5 - except for the Xbox One version, which comes a week later on November 12. Pete Dodd, one of the first people to suggest that the Xbox One version would have a lower resolution and founder of a campaign against next-gen DRM, wrote on his blog that Activision has remained mute so far because work is being done to get the game up to the native 1080p mark on Microsoft's console as soon as possible; whether this is done by a patch on day one or later down the line remains to be seen.

I can add this to the list with reasons why people who need to choose a console, should pick the PS4.
I'm so glad I preordered it and it's getting better every day.
This said from a guy who had a 360 and will never play bf4 or any shooter on the ps4.

I never bought into the idea of living room game consoles. The concept in itself felt somewhat wrong to me. Perhaps it's because I'm pretty serious when it comes to the effort I put into playing, and the experience I expect out of it.
Like for example in all my life of games nothing came even remotely close to the experience of clearing guild raids in World of Warcraft. It demanded me to stay playing for hours, it made me coordinate, strategise, sweat, took me through emotional rollercoasters. It quite literally became a commitment. But I actually enjoyed it. Call me addicted, obsessed, or whatever. What's most important to me is that I enjoy playing, even if it makes me do stupid things.
Looking at consoles, the way games are played; on a silly game pad? And the motivation behind playing on it instead of PC; no time? can't be bothered with the effort required? Then why play games at all???
I don't hate consoles, but I don't like them either, because of the countless games that have been dumbed down just to cater to people who have 'no time' or want to play 'casual'. What I want is the opposite...

PC can actually be competitive with consoles price-wise, even if you aim for high detail. It depends on region too.
So here's how it looks over here in Poland (prices converted to USD:
- PS4 costs around $600
- Gaming PC - way more than PS4, but:
- CoD: Ghosts PS4 - can be bought for $82 in preorder discount, suggested price $92
- CoD: Ghosts PC - can be bought for $42, suggested price $49
- PC game prices drop faster over time
As you can see, the price difference is significant and if one buys a lot of games, it will sum up.
Don't forget the perk of AMD and NVIDIA with their games bundles with each gfx card so potentially could be free.
Once you have a PC most people effectively upgrade rather than revamp a whole system. That option isnt there with PS4. So in a way, you are correct in that PC can be competitive.
My only reason for staying away from consoles is purely based on the fact that I can never go back to anything below 60fps as a minimum. Only exception I made to buying the PS3 was the fact its still a fantastic bluray player.

the ps4 stuff seems to be more expensive and the pc stuff cheaper then in my country.
ps4 costs €399 euro
cod ghosts (cheapest shop i could find)
pc games are usually much cheaper even if you buy them from keysites.
€35.49 atm (which is still more then the price you are paying in a shop! which is about € 30.52)
