XBOX One VS. PS4
As a new generation of console wars has just started , I analyze which console currently stands on top on the basis of:
As a new generation of console wars has just started , I analyze which console currently stands on top on the basis of:
- Price
- Hardware
- Exclusive Games
XBOX One
1. Price
The Xbox One is priced at $499, which is a whopping 100 bucks more than the PS4. It will have the new Kinect bundled with it. Which, if taken into account, makes it a fair price. But for people not interested in motion gaming, I would suggest buying a PS4, and just using the extra 100 bucks to buy a few more games.
2.Hardware
The Xbox One has a blu-ray disk drive, AMD Jaguar Processor, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, and a 500 GB hard disk in the basic SKU.
3.Exclusive Games
This is the important part where Microsoft really struck out. It had many exclusives shown off during its E3, including:
1. Forza Motorsport 5: The most successful racing sim for XBOX.
2. Titanfall: A great mech shooter by the co-creator of Call Of Duty!
3. Dead Rising 3: The 3rd installment to the critically acclaimed Dead Rising franchise.
4. Ryse: Son of Rome: A not-so-well demoed game which may have potential.
This concludes the Xbox section of the comparison.
PS4
1.Price
Sony dealt Microsoft a major blow by pricing the PS4 $100 less than the XBOX One. But what is not mentioned is that Microsoft bundles Kinect with the XBOX One whereas the PS4 does not have the PS Eye bundled in this basic skew. This probably means you won't see too many motion games for the PS4 in the coming years.
2. Hardware
Sony beats Microsoft in this aspect as the PS4 is a tad more powerful than the XBOX One. It also has an AMD Jaguar Processor. But it beats Microsoft with 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM which is much faster than DDR3 to put it in short.
3. Exclusive Games
Sony strikes in this round too with many exclusives up its sleeve
1. Killzone Shadow fall: Sony's very own shooter with the eye-candy.
2.Knack: A new game by the guy who gave us Crash Bandicoot, Mark Cerny:
3. Infamous: Second Son: A new game from the infamous series:
4. Drive Club: Sony's answer to Forza 5( Since GT 6 will only be coming for the PS3).
Conclusion:
After a three round punch out, let's see the results:
Round 1(Price):
Winner: PS4
Round 2(Hardware):
I would give PS4 a slight edge,but nothing too good.
Round 3(Exclusive Games):
Depends on your choice of games. Sony claims to have a total of 30 exclusives, while the XBOX claims to have a total of 15 exclusives.
Verdict
Finally, it depends on your choice of exclusives, your budget, and your interest in motion gaming. So if you like motion gaming, buy XBOX One. If you want a low price tag, buy a PS4. All the other things depend on your choice of exclusives since third-party games will run pretty much the same on both consoles. I hope this article was helpful to you.
