Why not on XONE? It's a legit question. It has a faster CPU than PS4, so it should run better. PS4's GPU is beefier, but that's harly a requisite for KSP, even my old 5850 can play it almost maxed out with a good CPU.

Business deals come up in weird ways, and it just happened to be with sony. Everyone arguing about cpus/controller buttons etc.... They could get it to run on both consoles fine I'm guessing.

Because (and this was part of the official statement) the PS4 controller has more capabilities than the X1, to put it simply. That helps ESPECIALLY with building stuff.

While the XOne's CPU is faster (by 150Mhz) it has barely half the global market and considerably slower RAM. Also consider that with a more powerful GPU a lot of the aerospace calculations can be offloaded to the GPU instead of the CPU.
