The next generation consoles have arrived. The Playstation 4 and Xbox One have both been highly anticipated since they were announced. Both consoles support high-end graphics, social sharing capabilities and enticing gameplay that have many people in awe at the amazing features each offers. These consoles have been released for some time, and many people have begun arguments over which one is better.

A lot of gamers have stated that the PS4 trumps the Xbox One. The most argued reason is over graphics. The Xbox has a Bonaire Radeon HD 7790 GPU processor, while the Playstation has a Pitcairn Radeon HD 7870. This shows that the Playstation’s graphics power is actually 50 percent greater than that of the Xbox. It is also extremely evident in the gameplay experienced on each console. For example, Battlefield 4 on Playstation looks realistic compared to the fuzzier textures on the Xbox.

Another issue is the Xbox Kinect and its capability to watch its’ user, no matter what they do. Sure, the device does come free in the package, but if you try to cover it up you will get a message stating that it needs to be uncovered for the Xbox to function.

If you are looking for a console to be more than just a gaming device, then the Xbox One’s features may suit you. The Xbox One has more features for video editing and sharing than the PS4 has. Some of these features are Twitch, Machinima and Eurosport. The PS4 only packs half of these features.

The Playstation 4 is the powerhouse in this situation game-wise. It packs more power into the quality of the games that are available to play and gives you a better experience playing them compared to previous consoles.

On the other hand, the Xbox One takes the cake on video watching capabilities. The enhanced control over your entertainment system lets the controller become the remote for your television without you having to get up to grab the remote after a heavy session of gaming.

In the end, each console is powerful enough to be considered “next-generation”. What you will use the console for is what could determine which one is the best to suit your needs. Also, don’t forget about the price. The PS is $100 cheaper.
