PS4 vs Xbox One Comparison: Graphics, Specs, Differences

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Holy shitballs... I was not expecting an overall winner... usually when I look up things like this it ends in a dissapointing tie!

I was planning on getting the PS4, and now it is confirmed!

Why fix what isn't broken?

Because if they make the old controller incompatible, everyone has to buy 1-3 extra controllers so their friends can play on their XBOX, and therefore Microsoft makes more money. Kind of like when apple changed the connector for the iPhone 5.

I liked the comparisons you weighed in upon ; Top shelf Escapist!

It certainly worked for me. I have close to little interest in picking up a gen 8 console for the coming few years but I think this comparison will be something I'll be looking back on when I do have the money to have a new console.

The PS4 streaming features are enticing to say the least. I never liked the 360's controller.

Decisions decisions.

Wait a minute... When I have the money to pick up a new console STAR CITIZEN WILL BE OUT!

Eh, I'm still with Yahtzee on this one. None of the three new consoles have really pushed any envelope significantly enough for me to even consider them, not when there's plenty of gaming to be had on my PC or tablet. The former has a massive backwards-compatible library, the latter can be taken anywhere. The new consoles don't add anything vaguely interesting for me, especially when they've worked so hard to destroy split screen co-op.

Basically, ps4 is a videogame system, Xbox is selling itself as a videogame system while trying to be a futuristic media-hub of the future. Xbox is a fine futuristic media hub, but if it only were to stop selling itself as a videogame system and bothering people who just wanna play games and don't care about TV or talking to human beings during their gaming time, oh boy, that'd be so nice.

The Rocksmith Viola peripheral is AMAZING.
