Our test was how long it takes to launch the game from the time you insert a disc, with a normal console connected to the internet.
We tested six multiplatform games on both consoles and every time, the PS4 was under a minute while the Xbox One install was several minutes long and required downloading an update before beginning the installation. When you include downloading those updates for each Xbox One game that happen in the background on PS4, the install times can get as high as fifteen minutes before you can even launch the game.
Once games are loaded, all things are relatively even.

Ah, the install and update don't really bug me, but if you're going to require the whole full install business, then don't piss me off and require me to still put in the disc of whatever title I feel like playing. There has to be a better way for authentication!
For example, how hard would it be to put an rfid in the disc by the center hole?
That way, you simply keep the disc in the case within 5 to 10 feet, and bypass that junk.
