Ps4 Vs Xbox One

So with Ps4 showing a teaser video on the 20th of May of what the console may look like and Xbox One revealing there console on the 21st of May its clear that the Next Gen consoles really are round the corner.

Today I'm just going to break everything down and show what each can offer, also showing a list of games that have been confirmed for each.

Obviously there will still be the divide of what console is better but both companies did take different methods in how they presented the consoles. Ps4 took the approach of getting developers out and speaking about what games there going to be making and how you can share game play clips through social media and PSN. Where Xbox took the approach to present the amount of features they have. Including how they can skype and watch tv on the console. So it seems that Ps4 is more based for gaming and the Xbox is more of an entertainment system than a games consoles in my view.

The Differences

Shown below will be a list of Features that each have and the difference between them.

A/v Hookups            HDMI                               HDMI
                  


As you can see from the specification there is not much difference. I think the defining factor of what console will be better will be the games that are brought out for each console. Obviously you will have the games like COD and Fifa and the likes of Watch dogs that will be made for both consoles but its the exclusives that will separate which one will be better. However there is also a preference in peoples opinions on what they want from there console. If they want it for an entertainment system for the likes of using it for Tv services Xbox would be the way forward or if they want a gaming console Playstation may be your preference. As i do feel Playstation 4 is more of a gaming console.

• Quantum Break (Remedy Entertainment)
• Thief (Edios Studios)
• UFC (EA)
• Watch Dogs (Ubisoft)

These Games were confirmed on the Xbox Reveal

With the likes of Fifa and Cod these will be made for both consoles. So from the reveal there is a big difference in the amount of games that have been announced. Ps4 have announced more exclusive content that will only be available to them in a gaming sense. As stated before i do feel Xbox is more of an entertainment system and Ps4 is more of a Gaming console. This really is only the start of the Next Gen consoles and much more will be shown over the coming months so there will be a great deal of time to decide which console will be for you if any.

But the rivalry between both consoles is far from over and lets be honest even when released and the figures show how many are sold the argument of what console is better will always be as strong as ever. It really is down to a personal preference in which you like better. Be it for an entertainment system or a gaming console its still to be decided. However I'm sure both consoles will shine in there own way and present different features and games to make them unique. With both being released for later this year speculation on what will be better will be a fun and passionate argument for many years to come. 

What console do you think will be better ?
