Next-Gen Consoles

 

Xbox One vs PS4

 

As we all know the time is here once again for the next generation consoles to do battle to see who is the most impressive. Fans are of course most likely going to choose their console due to them having the previous one. I am a fan of both but actually prefer the PlayStation systems over Microsoft's Xbox. I had each one of their systems but still have my preference.
 
Here's a run down of the current specs for both consoles.
Both consoles will be running on AMD's CPU the x86 octa-core processors. PS4's will use a x86-64 "Jaguar" CPU. The Xbox One will run on a modded eight-core processor. Will all this processing power I wonder if the games can be as good in their graphics power as PC games. Both Microsoft and Sony are both using AMD's graphic processors as well.
 
Sony Japan announced that the PS4 was to include an 8GB GDDR4 RAM which beats Microsoft with 8GB RAM but only the DDR3 chipset instead.
 
The Dualshock 4 controller for the PS4 is a bit bigger than its previous controller Dualshock 3 and will also include a touchpad and easier grip on it.
 
Not much has changed in the Xbox One's controller due to it being highly successfully among gamers. Both Sony and Microsoft have both improved their motion sensors though.
 
The Xbox One's Kinect 2.0 is referred to as a "human control for a human experience. It features a 1080p motion sensor that processes at 2GB of data per second and can recognize any slight movements, including your heartbeat. Not much is known about the Sony's new Eye, but it will come with two 1280x800px cameras.
 
The Xbox One is expected to sell for $399 in the US. The PS4 is predicted to be $50 cheaper.
 
Which will you choose?
