It seems everyone has something to say about the next generation consoles. Two consoles with very impressive specs. Both capable of running a new level of games. With even specs the consumer has to look at other aspects to choose their future console.
When first announced, everyone rallied behind the PS4 because of the Xbox One's DRM policies. Microsoft hoped to change the way we buy and share games, but in doing so, they made it difficult to sell games that people no longer wanted. They also would have severely hurt used game retailers and game rentals.
After the huge backlash from its fanbase, Microsoft retracted its DRM policies and decided to make the Xbox One work the way we all knew and loved. However, now that the Xbox One and Playstation 4
are on even footing again people have been looking for other ways to choose which is better.
Important factors to consider are price, features, and exclusive titles.
FEATURES
The Xbox One wins with features. It includes a very advanced motion tracking system. This gives the Xbox an extra level of entertainment. In addition to that, the Xbox One includes a tv tuner and is aiming to be your one stop shop for entertainment. Even if you don't feel like you will use these features, at least they are options.
PRICE
The PS4 wins on price. It is $100 cheaper than the Xbox One. However, the Xbox One does include a Kinect system which cost an extra $150 on the previous generation. This point depends on whether you feel motion sensors are worth it.
EXCLUSIVE GAMES
The Xbox wins again with this. During E3 I thought the PS4 had my money. When they announced Kingdom Hearts 3 for the PS4, a game I have been waiting to arrive for years, I nearly died. But then the next day, Microsoft announced that the Xbox would also have Kingdom Hearts 3 AND the next Final Fantasy. Well, Kingdom Hearts + Final Fantasy + Halo + Titan Fall = A game line up that I just can not ignore.
In the end, which console you choose really depends on what you want from a system and which console your friends will have. But most likely it will come down to the above points, and in my opinion, I feel the Xbox One has Won. Xbox Won. Get it? Okay I'll stop now.
But let us know what you think! Leave a reply and tell me if I missed anything of importance, and stay Awesome!
