PS4 Vs Xbox one: which one to buy ?
Sony Computers recently introduced their later PlayStation Gaming console PlayStation 4 (Watch the Event). As the Microsoft has released Xbox one console few weeks before (Watch the Event) Ps4, the war has started between rival companies. Both consoles will be released by the end of 2013 and you can pre-oder either right now, But what you should buy will be a quite dilemma.
Its a bit of a pickle in a middle to choose between two really good consoles but I've got to say , having watched both press events I'd personally choose Ps4. Sony has my heart since their opening of the press conference.
After reading many posts and reviews regarding these next gen gadgets it seems that many people are going with Ps4 because Xbox one has failed to provide some basic needs that a buyer would require
Lets take a look at what those needs could be.
Always online
Xbox one requires a player to maintain a constant internet connection for the purpose of preventing Pirated game copies and what so ever, if you fail to report Microsoft within 24 hours your game will cease to function bit of a military school isn't it ? you will still have the ability to watch Tv and Blue-ray but not the your game, this has made a lot of gamers furious and costed many valuable sales for Xbox one. Also there is a rumor saying that Xbox's Kinect camera stays always on to activate its person recognition system, which can also be a huge privacy breach but Microsoft's spokesman has told that the Kinect system can be adjustable to our privacy requirements and it can be turned off if we don't need it. On the other hand Sony has not made their new PlayStation with these kind of limitations. You wont be needing an internet connection unless you want to download a game, stream or Play in multiplayer gaming mode. So point one to PlayStation 4.
No problem with renting titles
Another huge favor to PlayStation users comes with used games. When Microsoft drawing boundaries to their users by letting the game developers set their own rules regarding their game being re-sold, Sony doesn't do such a thing. You can simply lend a game from your friend or a store and you can play it without any limitation. Xbox one has a feature to lend a game or share a game with a person who is friends with you in your live list more than 30 days but its only a one time deal.
Weight on wallet
Well this is the best weapon they both have to climb up in the sales chart and with the expected prize the both companies released PlayStation 4 has the advantage in this battle field.
The PS4 will cost $399 in the US, £349 in the UK, €399 in Europe and $549 in Australia.
The Xbox One, meanwhile, will cost more - $499 in the US, £429 in the UK and $599 in Australia.
Both consoles will go to market in the end of this year and despite the ups and downs they both have an next gen system and a stunning black design also both consoles has almost the same hardware acceleration, so why paying 100$ more ? That's a craving problem when it comes to buying either of these consoles.
System Architecture
As much as the two warring systems are different, the heart of the Xbox One and the PS4 remain very similar.That's because they're both running x86 octa-core CPUs, and these eight-core processors are built by the same chipmaker, AMD.The use of AMD in the Xbox One and PS4 is certainly a switch for both companies.Previously, Microsoft had used an IBM PowerPC processor, while Sony partnered with Toshiba and IBM on its own complicated Cell processor.
While the Xbox One will run a heavily modified eight-core AMD processor, PS4 will utilize a x86-64 "Jaguar" CPU.
Graphics Core
Better Controller
The reason for this is that neither Sony nor Microsoft have radically changed their respective controllers over the years - they're more like evolutions 2000 and 2001.
The DualShock 4 is a little bigger in the next-generation thanks to its unique front-and-center touchpad. Sony stuck with the dual analog sticks down in front, but at least have a central divot recess for easier gripping.
Microsoft also didn't mess with success, only slightly modifying its controller in the jump to the Xbox One. It's 40 design innovations are subtle, including the tweaked D-Pad on the bottom-left of the game pad.
Xbox One Kinect vs PS4 Eye
While Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will appeal to "core" gamers with mature launch titles, Microsoft and Sony are charging forward with motion-sensing devices.
The Xbox One Kinect was unveiled along with the system during the May 21 announcement, when Microsoft refered to to the advanced camera as "human control for a human experience."
Expanding on that motto, the packed-in 1080p Kinect 2.0 will be able to process 2GB of data per second, analyzing more joints, the slight rotation of a wrist or shoulder and your heartbeat.
Less is known about the PlayStation 4 Eye, but Sony did state that its similarly shaped camera bar contains two two 1280×800px cameras.
The PS4 DualShock 4 controller will come into play with the PS4 Eye thanks to its multi-colored light bar. It will also be compatible with those PS4 Move motion controllers that have gone unused.
