Xbox one vs PS4 Who Wins?

In the world of gaming, there are many platforms you can choose from. In this Xbox one vs PS4 review, we’ll take a look at two of the best, so you can better narrow down the options when you are debating as to which system is going to serve you best.

The exclusives –
No questions asked here. If you are a fan of Halo or Gears of War, you are going to go the Xbox route. For those who are fans of Guardians, or Bloodbourne, then PS4 is more your style. This is probably the easiest front for you to make a decision if the type of game and exclusive style of game is what peaks your interest. Make sure you know what each system sells and what new releases are offered, and this will allow you to make a clear cut distinction. But, if you need a little more to consider, look at these factors.

Online gaming/competition –
If you want to compete with your friends or other gamers you know, you might want to find out which platform they are on. This seems simple enough, but if you are super competitive in nature, and have different platforms, what good will it do you? Make sure you know what other gaming enthusiasts play on, and the type of games you wish to compete online in, so you can decide. If you are looking to purchase a console on finance or out right then using a catalogue comparison site would be the best way of saving money and getting the right deal for you.

The gaming experience –
Yes, you do have distinctions. For example, backward compatibility with PS4 is far superior. Not only that, the games are quicker to upload, the 1080 p resolution is superior to 900 p of the Xbox One, and sharing screenshots with other players during play seems superior on the PS4 system. On the flip side, Xbox seems to have more options and variety in terms of the streaming sources and apps offered to users. From Netflix, to streaming music, online game integration, and Amazon or HBO Go, Xbox one is the winner on these fronts. Depending on what you plan on using the system for, the type of experience you desire, and the type of streaming (and frequency) of streaming you are going to be doing, will dictate which of the two systems is going to be the right one for you to invest in as a gamer, who is looking for the very best in terms of gaming enjoyment and interaction with other players on and offline when you play.

The Future – 

The PS4 and Xbox One have been around for some time now, and it is far to say PlayStation is winning. What of the future though? With PlayStation 4 Pro now out and PlayStation VR going strong, do Sony have gaming wrapped up? The answer is still no, as Xbox One S has increased sales and Scorpio is still coming in the future. So things are looking good for both consoles.

With these factors in mind, consider price. Also keep in mind that Xbox One has a new system, and that the Playstation system is continually adding new features, online games, or options for play. So, things are continually changing, the companies are always competing, and every once in a while there is going to be a shift in power, in terms of which system is the clear cut winner. Overall, both are reasonably close. So, the choice might end up coming down to who you want to compete against, and the type of games which you like to play most, when time comes to choose your system.
