Regardless of the screenshot quality difference between platforms, it's surprising that both consoles compress their images to such a degree in the first place. File size is a key concern when sharing content online, and a smaller image results in less time spent staring at an upload screen. But every screenshot a player takes is also a testament to each console's graphical prowess, and if they are to be shared amongst platform fans and potential customers, then each platform holder would want those images to look the best they possibly can. Though Call of Duty: Ghosts only runs at 900p on the Xbox One, and at 1080p on the PS4, the Xbox One's superior screenshot function makes the make look technically superior on the platform, when it technically isn't.

Given Sony's over-reliance on image compression, and Microsoft's haphazard Twitter integration, it's clear that both parties are still coming to terms with how best to enable players to do the work of showing off their systems through social media for them.
