The Best Portable Game Systems Review, Play Station 4 Vs Xbox One

Sony and Microsoft both have launched their next generation gaming consoles, the Play Station 4 and Xbox One. Here's where we put the two up against one another in our Xbox One vs PS4 comparison review & will see which one can get more recommendation.These portable devices are 2nd equal to none.

Next generation portable games consoles have arrived so here's our PS4 vs Xbox One review where we will be comparing the two consoles' specs, price, controllers and confirmed games.

PS4 vs Xbox One review: Price

As usual, price is a very important area and Microsoft and Sony have announced different prices for these two rival consoles. The PS4 is the cheaper at £349

and the Xbox One costs £80 more at £429.

It's worthy to know that the Xbox One price includes the new Kinect sensor but the PS4 price does not include the PlayStation Camera. Add the price on and

the PS4 adds up to £393,so It's almost similar price.

PS4 vs Xbox One review: Specs

The two consoles are similar in their hardware specifications, especially when it comes to the CPU and GPU which we'll tackle first & also tackle the

hardship of the consoles.

Processor and graphics

AMD Makes the chip for both PS4 and Xbox One. Each uses a SoC (System on a chip) which combines the CPU and GPU. The processor is an x86 64-bit chip with 8

'Jaguar' cores and an estimated clock speed of 1.6GHz.

On the surface, it appears as if the PS4 and Xbox One have the same AMD Radeon GPU. However, the PS4's is more powerful with 1152 cores compared to the Xbox One's 768 – 50 percent more, according to Anandtech. It also has a higher peak shader throughput of 1.84 TFLOPS against 1.23 TFLOPS of the Xbox One – although this is less important.

Whether these differences will be noticeable when then console is hooked up to your TV in your lounge is another question, but on paper the PS4 is the more impressive & Nice I guess.

RAM and storage

Both The PS4& Xbox One have 8GB of RAM inside but Sony wins marginally in this area using faster GDDR5 memory compared to GDDR3 offered by the Xbox One. Luckily for the Xbox One, it has 32MB of eSRAM embedded memory expected to be used by developers as a cache.

Microsoft says the combination of the CPU, GPU and eSRAM is like 'having a supercomputer in your living room'.

It's a tie when it comes to storage because both have a 500GB hard drive. The amount available to the user will be less because some of the space will be used for the system software.

Optical drive

It's another tie when it comes to the optical drive since both Xbox One and PS4 have a Blu-ray/DVD drive as standard.

Connectivity

Things are once again pretty similar when it comes to connectivity with the PS4 and Xbox One offering Wi-Fi, Ethernet, optical out and USB 3.0. If it bothers you, the PS4 has Bluetooth 2.1 which the Xbox One does not,so in this case PS4 has got an up vote.

As you would expect there is HDMI on each console and they both support 4K output, but the Xbox One also has an HDMI in port for throughput.

Xbox One vs PS4 comparison review: Controllers

The Xbox controller remains mostly the same as previous generations as they were. It has a number of changes but they are subtle such as the redesigned D-pad and thumb stick. The main new feature is the new Impulse Triggers for better feedback.

The PS4 DualShock 4 controller is quite different to the PS3's. It has a trackpad in the middle and integrated 'Move' motion control. Unfortunately we've found the PS4 controller showing signs of wear on the sticks after just a couple of weeks of use.

PS4 vs Xbox One review:
Features

There are plenty of features which these consoles offer; they are more all-round entertainment devices now than just devices for playing games. We're going to stick to pointing out two of the key differences about which you need to know.

'Always online' has been a major subject around the PS4 and Xbox One leading up to the launches and it's the Xbox One that requires an internet connection for you to be able to play – although it needs only to validate every 24 hours which isn't half as bad as requiring a constant connection.


Note: After much pressure from the public and the media, Microsoft has done a U-turn on this saying that the Xbox One will no longer need a net connection.

Don Mattrick, President, Interactive Entertainment Business at Xbox said: "An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again."

A second issue is being able to use second hand (pre-owned) games. Again the PS4 is the console with no restriction (see video below). However, it's a different story for Microsoft's console. Xbox One users can lend games to friends who they have had on their Xbox Live list for at least 30 days but you can only lend them once.

Microsoft said: "Today, some gamers choose to sell their old disc-based games back for cash and credit. We designed Xbox One so game publishers can enable you to trade in your games at participating retailers.  Microsoft does not charge a platform fee to retailers, publishers, or consumers for enabling transfer of these games."

Note: Microsoft has also changed it mind on this element, saying that there will be no restrictions.

"Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360." added Mattrick.



PS4 vs Xbox One review: Games

Pivotal to a games console's success is what games you can actually play on it. Which games you want to own and play is, of course, down to personal opinion. So, we've put together a list of the games which will be available on the PS4 and Xbox One. It's not a definitive list as titles will be confirmed over the coming weeks and months.

We've separated it into games for the PS4, games for the Xbox One and games that will launch on both consoles.
