Playstation 4 versus Xbox One
Which is better?
I'm torn between the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Which should I go for?
This is an interesting question, and on the face of it I was tempted
to delve inside each of the consoles and come to a conclusion based on
what's inside the console. But this is a poor approach, since the
primary difference between the two consoles come down to the RAM
used.The PlayStation 4 makes use of GDDR5, while the Xbox One uses
slower DDR3. What does this mean in the real world? Basically it boils
down to GDDR5 providing faster data transfer, while DDR3 provides faster
latency.
Also, I feel compelled to curb your expectations a little. You'd
expect that the next-generation consoles would totally blow away the
older consoles, especially given that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are
eight years old, but it just doesn't. Yes, the graphics quality is
better, but it isn't "blow you back into your seat" better.
So, looking at the tech isn't going to help us. Instead, I think that
the decision as to which console you pick comes down to balancing four
variables.
Price
The first variable is price. The PlayStation 4 is priced at $399,
compared to $499 for the Xbox One. For many, cash is king and the $100
price difference might well swing things in favor of the PlayStation 4.
Titles
Buying a console is just part of the equation, and it is nothing
without games, and since neither are backward-compatible with older
titles, you need to give some thought to what's on offer, especially
exclusive titles that are only available for a single platform.
The PlayStation 4 has three exclusives on offer, including "Killzone:
Shadow Fall," while the Xbox One has nine, "Forza Motorsport 5," "Dead
Rising 3" and "Killer Instinct." This will change over the course of
2014, but for now games are tight, and the changing landscape of titles
might make you hold back on pulling the trigger on purchasing.
Sensors
If you're interested in gesture and voice control, then the Kinect 2
is streets ahead of PlayStation Camera. If waving at your console like
an ape doesn't appeal to you, then you can ignore this feature.
Ecosystem and social
If you already own an Xbox 360 of PlayStation 3 then you might have a
preference when it comes to Xbox Live versus PlayStation Plus. There's
no right or wrong answer here, and if you're not committed to either
then in real terms there's little difference between the two.
Conclusion
The bottom line is that picking the best console is tough. Weighing
up the options I'm tempted to say that the Xbox One is the better
console, despite the price. That said, you're paying a top dollar price
for a console where the game lineup is pretty limited no matter which
one you go for.
My recommendations come down to two options:
Be led by the titles, not the hardware. This is where the real value lies.
If you can wait, I'd hold off until you have a better idea of how
the exclusive titles listing pan out. A year from now not only will
there be a better lineup of games, but both Microsoft and Sony will have
sweetened the deal by dropping prices of offering better bundles. In
the interim you could get more games for your existing console and
squeeze out extra value from your current hardware.
Whatever you do, have fun!
Warning: If you do not have a ps4,xbox one, ps3 or xbox 360 it is going to be very hard for you to continue your gaming life. I have looked into many new games and all of them are for these four consoles. So if you love gaming and want to continue it please purchase one of these in the nearest futures... Thank you
