Xbox One vs PlayStation 4

Xbox One vs PlayStation 4

Microsoft vs Sony

      So,in an objective manner,I will try to mention all the pros and cons.Why should you choose one in favor of the other?

    Sony has a distinct advantage of initially releasing one week ahead of Xbox One and two weeks ahead of Black Friday, the major holiday sales day in the U.S. At least both systems will be out in North America before Black Friday begins.

   Well,first,everyone looks at the price Xbox One cost aprox. $499 and PS4 $399.So,why is a noticeable difference between them?Let's see their features:

  Both have box-like designs;PS4 is smaller.

Their hardware specifications are tremendous:

As you can see bouth of them have similar technical specifications. So lets talk about the differences between them.The Xbox One aims to take over your living room (which it can’t help but do, since it’s absolutely massive) and become the main box under your TV.As a result it offers great features such as being able to  immediately bring up your Skype account and call up your mate on your TV. By saying “Xbox watch TV” you can switch from gaming to television without having to search for the  remote control and change input channel.
Meanwhile, the sleeker PlayStation is less concerned with doing everything and wants to get gaming right.In this respect, its second- screen feature is a winner.If you have the portable PSVITA you can play all your PS4 games away from your console (in the next room, abroad, in the garden) provided you have an internet connection.Plus the user interface of the PS4 is simpler and cleaner because it’s not trying to do quite so much, the controller is more comfortable in the hands with the addition of atouchpad, which lends it to downloadable games such as Angry Birds. To top it all off, it’s cheaper.
Sony hasn’t really gone just for the gamers either, and like the One, includes music streaming, movie rental and streaming services such as Netflix on its box, because it knows that the future of gaming is probably not on a console and to survive in the long term it too will need to offer more to the living room than just playtime.

   

So after reading this, you have to decide which is better for you. If you want something that is trying to do a lot of things go for the xbox.If you want something oriented on gaming, cheaper and with a simpler interface go for the PS4.
