The recent release of the two new gaming consoles, Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4, has many gamers are posing the question, “which console is better ?”. In today’s technological world, gaming consoles offer so much more than merely game play. Both systems support streaming movies, browsing the internet, and even updating your status on social media. Xbox One is the superior gaming system to PlayStation 4 because the Xbox One offers so much more than only being a gaming device. While they both have the same amount of RAM and both are packed with an eight gigabyte processor, the Xbox One trumps the PlayStation 4 in categories such as selection of apps, software, and voice/motion recognition. The Xbox One serves as a complete …show more content…
According to PC Magazine’s Will Greenwald “The Xbox One's voice controls are the first I've seen that I'd actually be willing to use on a regular basis. They're functional and fairly flexible for menu navigation, and using them to change channels and browse your program guide isn't just a stroke of genius, it's a compelling selling point”. The Kinect’s performance has dramatically improved since the last generation model. Want to check social media? Just say “Xbox Facebook” and Xbox will open the Facebook app. The Kinect is also included in the purchase of the Xbox One whereas the camera for the PlayStation 4 must be purchased separately. The Xbox One, like the previous generation, offers an app marketplace. Popular apps such as Netflix, Twitter, and Facebook are just a few of the many apps offered on both consoles. However, a few apps are exclusive to Microsoft’s Marketplace. According to David Katzmaier from CNET.com a few of the apps which are exclusive to the Xbox One are: YouTube, TED, Skype, NFL, FOX NOW, and FX NOW to just name a few. However, a few apps such as NBA are only exclusive to Sony. Both Microsoft and Sony are awaiting the addition of a few new apps such as HBO GO. Overall the Xbox One offers a wider variety of popular
The Xbox One is considerably bulkier than the PlayStation 4, coming in at 13.5 inches wide, 10.4 inches front to back, and 3.2 inches tall and weighing 3.5 kg, making the Xbox One approximately 30% larger than the PlayStation 4. The Xbox One console comes in black, but different themes and colors are available. The left half of the
Hello gamers! I'm Andrew McNeil, and today, there are a few facts you should know. With a new generation of video game consoles, I’m sure you are all eager to buy the best system. The problem is, (point towards crowd) you can’t decide which one to actually buy. That’s why reviews were invented: to let people know what the best game system is.
The PS2 offers a reasonably powerful processor, about 297MHz (Megahertz). It may seem a little bit on the sluggish side compared to the processor of Xbox, about 733MHz, and to the GameCube processor, about 485MHz. If you ask me, I think that 733MHz is a little much for a gaming console, it’s just plain ridiculous. The PS2 has enough power to run high quality games. And with the planned decrease in cost for the PS2, you should be able to get one for lower than the normal price, $299, sometime in the near future. Microsoft cannot decrease their price for Xbox, $299, because they are already losing money selling systems, about $50 a system sold. So that tells you that the PS2 could match the price of GameCube, $199, before long.
The next generation of video consoles, the Xbox 360 (2005) and PlayStation 3 (2006), featured still greater integration of proprietary gaming networks and consoles. There are many different types of XBox games. The most famous X Box games are known as X Box 360, XBox Live, and XBox One. It is one of the popular game in the world.
Do you or any of your friends play video games on a console? If you ask gamers the question, “gaming console you like the most?” they will probably say Xbox One or PlayStation 4. Xbox and PlayStation are known as the most popular gaming consoles of all the time. These two consoles have been competing for a very long time for the throne of the best game console since 2001 until now. In this article, we are going to find out which console has the best advertisement, We are going to determine this not by the console’s hardware, not by its cool features, and not by what exclusive games they have.

I chose the PlayStation 4 as my artifact because it is the computer that provides media and entertainment to the largest screen in a living space: the television. Having a beautiful eighty inch flat screen is useless without a device to play media. The PlayStation 4 is my device of choice to have connected to my TV. It is the jack of all trades, gaming on it is phenomenal, there is a Blu-ray player built in, and it has hundreds, if not thousands, of apps including Netflix. With a PlayStation 4 plugged into my TV I have access to endless amounts of content; A fundamental need to the college life.
In the console-gaming world people know Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft may be the largest and richest software company in the world, but it’s unknown when it comes to console gaming. Microsoft is counting on the Xbox to change that perception. Gamers may not be willing to take a chance with the Microsoft Xbox, even if it is far superior to any console ever made. Nintendo Gamecube is nothing if charismatic. Nintendo’s new machine is half the size of any other console and looks like a toy with its brightly colored plastic shell and handle. It’s destined to be home of such popular games as Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikachu, and Kirby. Nintendo Gamecube seems mismatched as it goes up against the Microsoft Xbox and the Sony Playstation 2 (a multimedia mayhem that Sony says it’s supposed to be “The Future Of Entertainment”). All this makes you think; what makes Nintendo believe it can possibly go up against the ultra-sophisticated Xbox.
The video game industry has grown very powerful over the last five decades due to gamming consoles. A new generation of gamming was created, taking games from arcades and putting them in one’s household. Although arcade games were a great hit, there were modifications that needed to be done to them to make them smaller and more compact. In 1967, German born Ralph Baer and some of his coworkers were the first to get an actual prototype to work on a regular home television. After the console, Magnavox Odyssey (1972), was released and made a big impact on the market, more and different companies and corporations released more systems with such specifications. Although the consoles had been a great hit, there was only one playable game in each console. The purpose of creating gaming consoles was mainly to provide families with their own videogame console at their own home. However, the modifications made to these consoles were very small but at that time it took a long time to be able to develop adaptors.
Both Xbox and Ps4 players are the same in many type of way, both consoles each have the hardcore players, the aggressive players the friendly players, etc. The Gamers for each consoles each buy the system to have fun or
Nintendo is an entertainment company; not an electronics company. Console sales are inextricably intertwined with games sales. Hardware sales account for a large portion of Nintendo's total sales; however, hardware sales don't drive a large portion of Nintendo's total sales. At Nintendo, the games sell the consoles. Of course, the console itself can affect the game play experience in its role as a
The first thing to think about when choosing to buy a console is the type of hardware is used for that console. Both the Xbox One and PlayStation4 both have some similarities in their hardware like their HDD, Audio/Visual output, and Wi-Fi. The differences in hardware of the Xbox One and PlayStation4 are the GPU and CPU. The PlayStation4’s GPU has 1.84 TFLOPS, AMD Radeion Graphics Core Next Engine which is better than the Xbox One, the PlayStation4’s CPU is a Low Power x86-64 AM “Jaguar” , 8 Cores which is slightly better than
Some are dedicated boxes that connect to your television such as the Apple TV or Roku set top boxes. The primary purpose of this type of device is delivering digital content and they are as simple to use as your television or Digital Video Recorder. Gamers are also in luck, since game consoles such as the Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation and Nintendo Wii support video streaming as a secondary role. The list of video capable devices goes on to include smart televisions, computers, DVRs, Blu-ray players, iPads, Android tablets and smart phones. In reality, most viewers may already own several devices suitable for their streaming entertainment needs.
Owning a gaming computer is one of the best investments a person can make in their life. Having a gaming computer can greatly influence one’s entertainment ranges and personal hobbies. Every gamer or anyone who occasionally games should have a gaming computer instead of a gaming console. A gaming console only provides people with basic programs and simple user interface while a gaming computer can be used for any needs one need. A gaming computer is one’s own cable box but better. Having a gaming computer you can have it fully customized to fit whatever theme you would like it to fit, can run many programs and other applications faster than a console, and can be loaded with a plethora of multiple useful programs one can use.
Microsoft made a wise decision by choosing to outsource the manufacturing of Xbox to Flextronics. They are not as competent in making the components for Xbox as they are in constructing software. Flextronics, on the other hand, is a large enough company with ample funds and experience in the manufacturing of hardware, like Xbox. They have the expertise and logistics to produce efficiently and cost effectively, while maintaining the level of quality that Microsoft demands as a well-known brand.
