Xbox One VS. PlayStation 4

                                                        

            Sony and Microsoft are currently marketing their next generation consoles, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. At a glance, both consoles have almost completely similar capabilities. Both systems come equipped with 500GB of hard drive space, multi-core processors and AMD graphics. However, with a big, fast block RAM and a larger GPU, PS4 seems to have the edge. At its reveal, Xbox One mentioned its restrictions on game-sharing and a required internet connection. Sony took advantage of the negative reaction Xbox received and quickly announced that there would be no restrictions or required internet connection on the PlayStation 4. Soon after, Microsoft retracted its game-sharing policy and internet requirements.  The Xbox One is priced at $500 while the PlayStation 4 clocks in lower at only $400. 

           

 Powerful hardware is nothing if it is not utilized correctly. So while the PlayStation has slightly advanced hardware, Xbox has the same chance to utilize itself to the same potential. The biggest difference will be available titles. There will be no significant difference in gameplay, so choice in console will ultimately come down to preference.
