In this post, the two biggest consoles in the gaming industry will be locking horns against each other. We want to look at them as per their performance, gaming experience, hardware, technology edge, value, and other parameters. The two platforms have a list of exclusive and numerous non-exclusive games, but is that all they have in difference and similarities? Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 have evolved over the years. With slimmer designs and great features, gamers are having their best gaming experience ever. Let’s get to the pitch and see which of them comes out top. Ultimately, we’ll leave the decision in your hands.

Game Library

Xbox One plays some of the best game titles of this era from third party epics such as Doom, Fallout 4, and Resident Evil 7; to first party games such as Halo 5, Sunset Overdrive and Gears of War 4. In addition, you will get to play PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds only on the Xbox One as well as Tacoma and Cuphead. PS4 is having an edge when it comes to exclusives. There are hits such as Uncharted 4, Persona 5, and Horizon: Zero Down; including a mix of AAA blockbusters and notable Indies and Japanese titles. Both game consoles have lots of hits; the choice comes down to you.

Backwards Compatibility

Microsoft’s Play Anywhere initiative has made it possible to buy digital games on Windows store and play it on your Windows 10 PC or your Xbox One. The bad point to this is that those who have a good gaming PC are unlikely to purchase an Xbox One. Also, those who have a huge Xbox 360 game library do not have to buy new versions of those games because the Xbox One supports Xbox 360 games.

It is possible to play PS3 and PS2 games on PS4. However, this comes with the payment of a stipulated amount. Also, PS4 supports only a small fraction of PS2 games.

Hardware

Both consoles have a 500GB storage which can be expanded through the connection of an external hard drive. The PS4 and Xbox One have slimmer iterations – PS4 Slim and Xbox One S. the iterations are slimmer, sleeker, and have more attractive designs compared to the bigger versions.

Performance and Graphics

If you are like every other gadget lover, you want to know what’s inside your console. Both consoles come with similar muscles. With 8-core x86-64 AMD Jaguar processor and 8GB of RAM, together with an AMD Radeon GPU and a 500GB hard drive, there is no difference in terms of the gaming performance of these consoles. Games look very crisp and great on both consoles even though PS4 has a slight edge in terms of its resolution. It is rumoured both consoles will soon offer 4k video gaming experience.

User Experience and Entertainment

In terms of user-friendliness, both platforms offer intuitive menus. The Xbox One gives users the ability to get to games very quickly with the app icons and shortcuts. There is also a guide that enables you view friends, track achievements, and screenshot your games by tapping a button. The PS4 offers the similar user-friendliness but at a higher level. The PS4 allows you capture gaming moments and share them with your friends. By tapping the DualShock 4 share button, you can record a clip, screenshot it, or broadcast your gameplay.

Both systems offer gameplays without the TV. On the Xbox One, you can connect to Windows 10 PCs or tablets. While the PS4 gives you the ability to connect to Xperia devices, PCs, and Macs. Spotify, NetFlix, YouTtube, Amazon Instant, WWE Network and a host of others are entertainment channels included on the consoles. Xbox One and PS4 have cloud storage which can come handy to the users. The online gaming experience is also very fluid on both systems, but Xbox One has more stable gaming experience as well as bigger and better cloud storage.

Value

With a starting price of about ₦90,000 the Xbox One S is cheaper than the ₦108,000 basic price of the PlayStation 4. Irrespective of the price any of the consoles come with, the value you get from either the PS4 or the Xbox One surpasses the price.
