Multiplatform games: PS4 vs xbox one.

Not saying a lot right now with all the issues. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

The guy in the video suggested the graphics are slightly better on the PS4 in most of the multiplatform games. I found that interesting.

When does the update drop?

Not all that surprising since the PS4's hardware is supposedly superior. A technogeek that actually knows what's inside that shiny box would have to chime in to confirm.

I think it's surprising based on history. The reason the last gen was even or slightly swayed towards Microsoft is the whole developer issue. Everything was made for Xbox and ported over to PS3 IIRC, even though PS3 was technologically superior. It seems like I've heard that the PS4 is a lot easier to develop for this time around.


Sony finally learned from their mistakes in the media wars with bluray. Maybe they finally learned from their mistakes in the console wars with PS4.

Technically, on paper, the PS4 is a bit more 'powerful.' However, there are some pluses and minuses on each system.

This was the same for 360/PS3 but Sony used their own chip and architecture for the system. To simplify things here, game devs would program on a PC and XBOX because they are pretty much identical. Then, you put it on PS3 and you have to make changes because it's basically another language. So, you do what you can but most dev time is spent on the PC/360 version.

This generation, Sony has finally quit using their own chips and gone with the same setup as PCs and the X1. So, add in that their hardware (for the most part) is a bit better, and you can see why the PS4 might look better in some games. I don't think it's a huge difference, but out of the gate devs are having better luck getting things running on the PS4.

Sony's problem is PSN. It's no where near LIVE. MS has the advantage here because they are a software company and they had a few years head start with online.

Yep, PS4 has a slight advantage in the GPU and RAM department(8 GB of DDR5 RAM is slightly superior to Xbox's 8GBs of DDR3). Both consoles offer their own advantages, as well as disadvantages. That's why I plan on getting both at some point. Happy with my Xbox One, though, for the time being.

Solid points here.

From the reviews I've seen that's the case.

hope this changes. i've been leaning ps4 but it mostly depends on what my friends get. It'll be a while though (a year at least) because i just built a new pc.

Was always an xbox guy, but got a PS4. I have mo issues with the PSN party/chat, you name it, it works well, outside of Battlefield, which lies entirely at the feet of EA and DICE.

That said, i don't use it for anything but games and Netflix, though I'm thinking about Center Ice if i find enough nickles in my couch
