My best guess was that they are having difficulty optimizing the Xbox One version and that the PS4 was in near complete state so they decided to show that version instead.
Which is kinda worrying considering we are less than a month from when the game is supposed to come out. But it wouldn't surprise me if both end up being 1080p 60 FPS, this game isn't doing exactly anything special.

Supposedly 1080p videos are still "publishing" on the IGN vid.
Huh, ze plot thickens.

Ban shinobi if old. Apparently IGN will be revealing multiple Call of Duty Ghosts vids on their site all this week. And in a series first, it will be shown on a Playstation console (PS4 1080p) before release.
Normally since the Activision/MS partnership all marketing footage up to and after a COD release has been shown on the Xbox (PS3 preview builds were still shown to the media, but not in direct feed marketing vids).
Very strange. Here's the videos so far which shows AWESOME PS4 COD:G MENU FOOTAGE: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10/18/inside-call-of-duty-ghosts-squads-mode
(note: the first video in the IGN link is the XB1 marketing video, the rest are PS4 vids).
Scott Lowe, huh?
Has he been able to verify whether or not this is genuine PS4 footage, or footage that came from a "PC Devkit"?

I do find it odd then why they would show the PS4 version if the Xbox One version is already complete.
*shrug*
Maybe IGN visited Infinity Ward a while ago and are just now posting the content? I got nothing.

Microsoft's first time with a considerably weaker console... This generation is going to be a long one for them.

Yeah I just followed back to the post and apparently he's one of the Skullgirls devs.
Wow, that info is really harrowing. I want both systems to be great, if the XONE is performing that much worse, yeesh.

Wow, really surpriseda along with everyone else here... 'dat Sony power.....
I wouldn't read much into it.
Well yeah, of course it happened to be what they played on, because Infinity Ward chose it.

I guess the OP & 90% of the people in this thread forgot about Black Ops 2 footage being shown for the Wii U in September 2012 a full 2 months before release?

Why would we care to remember that?

And, considering IW probably hooked up IGN with the exclusive, I wouldn't expect Scott to call them out on it.

Thank god this is happening. Ms needs to let the cod franchise go.
But MS is CoDs home right......right

Because everyone seems to think it's odd that a COD game would be shown before release on a non Xbox system.

How do you know Infinity Ward chose it? Maybe IGN chose it. (knowing it would generate more hits)

That is all part of the fun of pushing Titanfall so hard. If it works, it also goes a long way to killing off other multiplayer games on the platform.

That's interesting. Back when Botchdogs and AC4 were only being shown on PS4 there could almost have been something in the idea that it wasn't anything to do with Xbone problems but more to do with Ubi's co-marketing push with Sony, but CoD? The franchise Microsoft themselves often say is most closely associated with Xbox? Showing on Playstation before Xbox?
That's borderline unthinkable.
Your bit is getting old.

It is interesting considering how much time it got at the reveal event when MS limited its time on games
They did.
They did, it has talking fish now or something like that.

Lets not kid ourselves. Outlets can't demand a particular build over another. They work with what they get. The PS4 version is probably just a little bit further along then the XB1 version and Infinity Ward wants to put their best foot forward for next gen.
Joke question?Sites can't demand this, not even IGN.

Yeah, but apparently the disc is already printed for XB1 and has gone gold.
So who knows.

Maybe its because PS4 is coming out first.
I sat through the same Duracell commercial I've been sitting through for 6 months, just to watch IGN show their 1080p PS4 footage ... of a menu.
Like, honest to Jebus (save me Jebus!) why are you trolling out 5 minute videos of the damn game menu? The f%$^ing MENU. Honestly? Really?
The headline doesn't promise footage of ghost squad mode, but it implies it.
Weak, IGN. I don't know if you got $0.001 cents for my click or what, but if anyone from Duracell is reading: I'm boycotting your batteries in favour of Energizer, all because of IGN.
So there =\

Ok that's a bit weird. I posted earlier that maybe Activision was reminding PS4 owners of COD but "happened to play on PS4" sounds strange
If the Xbone can't hit 1080p on CoD Ghosts, I would be very surprised. The graphics are nothing to shout about.
