WoW's graphical detail isn't as complex or taxing as XIV's.
WoW is specifically for the PC while XIV has to keep the PS3 in mind.
WoW has had 5-6 months from cata release and where probably planning the content release for a long time, Yoshi has had 3-4 months to completley re-structure the game.
WoW has a lot more room for freedom of development due to it's high popularity.
WoW bleh blee bloo blah blah.
