Are you wondering what console to beg your parents for? Than this article is meant for you. Some people prefer the more bulky feeling of the xbox one. On the other hand people prefer the slim and fast feeling of the playstation 4. I have gathered enough evidence to conclude that the playstation 4 and the xbox one are good in their own ways.
The Xbox One is more bulky than the ps4. Some think this is a bad thing but it actually has its pluses. Imagine if you have some little children or a niece over for thanksgiving. The xbox one is heavier than the ps4 so if they get ahold of your console it may be harder to lift. So if you have lots of small children who like to touch things the Xbox One is for you. The ps4 is slim and that is great because if you already have a blueray player and a tv and a bunch of stuff on your tv stand than the ps4is good for you. It is great to put on its side and can fit in a small space.
If you want a fast paced console the ps4 is for you. The ps4 has 1152 GPU cores while the xbox one only has 768 GPU cores. The ps4 downloads 170.0 GB/s while the xbox one only downloads 68.3 GB/s. The contrast on the ps4 is also superior. SO if you like your blacks really dark and your whites really white than the ps4 is for you. The xbox one may have less contrast but sometimes that is good. Like when you are on a night mission in call of duty or searching through a cave in minecraft, having less contrast may be a plus.
The ps4 has a more comfortable home screen and it is less complex than the xbox one so if you like it simple go with the ps4. So if you feel like sifting through and spending one hardcore week trying to map the xbox one’s complex homescreen then be my guest. Plus the ps4 allows you to remove the memory card completely and replace it while the xbox one only allows you to add some more.
The controller on the xbox one is really comfortable but it is dwarfed to the ps4. The xbox one controller is bulky but comfortable. If you have an extra 50 dollars in your back pocket than you can get the xbox one elite controller. It is amazing and has loads of improvements. But the ps4 controller is amazing without having to spend an extra 150 dollars. I has a touch pad on the front that opens whole new worlds to game makers. It also comes fully equipped with small speakers built into the controller making reloads and dialects seem close or far.
Last but not least we all know the reason you get a console is for the games. The games only on the xbox one are but not limited to Halo 5: Guardians, Forza motorsport 5 and Rare replay. Plus the xbox one gets updates for minecraft first. Impressive but the ps4 has Infamous: Second Son, Killzone Shadow Fall and Final Fantasy XIV: Realm Reborn. Not to mention the ps4 receives updates for destiny and is a better play for the new hit game Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
The ps4 is a hardware nut but the xbox one isn't too far behind and has higher rated games. All and all, the decision is up to you which console you get but, I hope I was a help. Thank you for reading this article.
