Xbox One vs PS4: Which console is better

As both the consoles are already revealed, many people ask – “Which console is better?”. So, here is a quick comparison between both the consoles.

Look and Design

At the first glance, the Xbox One looks like a DVR. It will surely fit in with everything else under your TV. On the other hand, the PS4 looks like a mixture of a PS2 and a VCR. It looks really unique and nice. Also, PS4 looks smaller than the Xbox One. So, I would prefer PS4 over Xbox One on the basis of design.

Specifications

So, in terms of specifications the PS4 is powered by a AMD Jaguar CPU with 8 cores, 8GB GDDR5 RAM and a GPU that is very close to Radeon HD 799

  • It houses an internal storage of 500GB which is quite good. The PS4 uses BluRay optical drive and has a HDMI out support (upto 4K).

    On the other hand, the Xbox is powered by a Microsoft custom CPU with 8 cores, 8GB DDR3 RAM and a GPU that is very close to Radeon HD 787It houses an internal storage of 500GB which is the same as seen on the PSThe Xbox is also using BluRay optical drive and has a HDMI in and out support (upto 4K).

    The specs of both the consoles are almost same. But as PS4 has a little bit faster GDDR5 RAM and significantly a faster GPU – It definitely has an edge over the Xbox one.

    Gamepad

    The PS4′s gamepad – DualShock 4 is really awesome. There’s built-in movement tracking, so the console can track who’s holding each controller, a built-in speaker, and a multitouch touchpad. In comparison, the Xbox One’s gamepad is a refreshed version of the Xbox 360′s gamepad. The only thing that is new in Xbox One’s gamepad is the Impulse triggers. The DualShock 4 definitely has richer features but it all comes down to personal preference. It’s up to you which one you prefer to hold.

    Exclusive Games

    So, the main part is games. Many game titles like Battlefield 4, Assassins Creed 4, GTA 5, etc. will be coming for both the consoles. In both the events of Xbox One and PS4 – PS4′s was more focused to games and it will be having more exclusives within its first year. So, here’s the run-down of the exclusives that were shown in the event

  • Verdict

    So, looking at the comparison above – Both the devices are pretty much the same but as the PS4 is little bit faster – It has an edge over the Xbox One. The Xbox One costs $499 including a $100 Kinect 2.0 peripheral whereas the PlayStation 4 costs $399 and if you want motion control with it – You can buy PlayStation Eye which costs around $5
