The graphical disparities are being overblown by people. Yes, the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox One, but the gap is not huge, and won't be noticeable in the coming months. The developers are still getting used to the architecture of the Xbox One and PS4.
It has nothing to do with the system itself, it's the developers not learning how best to optimize yet. It'll take a little longer than on PS4 because of the eSRAM.
Xbox One can run games at native 1080p, 60 fps, as evidenced by Forza 5.
Another example is Need for Speed : Rivals, running at native 1080p, 30 fps on both Xbox One and PS4.
Also, devs have stated:
Our best sources don't expect that to have a huge impact on the graphics of games on both consoles.
"I think this is not going to be an issue in six months," one reliable game development source who is not affiliated with Microsoft or Sony told us. "It's just a bumpy time for launch is what it is."
This same source corroborated reports that multiple multiplatform launch games will launch running at a higher resolution on PS4 than Xbox One. Still, they don't expect any major, noticeable graphics differences to be long-term. They attribute this to gradual improvements made to the Xbox One hardware over the past year but more because they expect developers to overcome any headaches they're having developing for the new Xbox as they did with last generation's onerous PS3.

Quote from article Ars-technica artcle:
From a purely hardware-focused perspective, the PS4 provides SIMILAR-TO-SLIGHTLY- BETTER POWER for $100 less.
