Advantages And Differences Of PS4 Vs. Xbox One

Superior Essays
PS4 vs Xbox One The console wars have been going on since the late 1980’s. Every gamer has their preference on what they play. Whether it be PC, console, mobile, etc. Currently the two hottest consoles on the market are the Microsoft Xbox one and the Sony PS4. It has been over 3 years since these consoles have come out. They are both very good game consoles for this generation. They are both very similar in many ways, but they also have major differences. Trying to pick between PS4 and Xbox One is like peeling an orange. It starts with outer shell, the system design. The Xbox Ones dimensions dwarf those of the PS4’s. It looks like a futuristic VCR. Yet it’s not playing tape. Its design is loaded with vents and cooling systems. This helps …show more content…
The internet connectivity is way more important. Ps4 is combatable with any gigabit Ethernet as well as the standard 802.11 standards. The Xbox One beats out the Ps4 with connectivity because it supports all the 802.11 standards as well as older versions of 802.11. Xbox also has the compatibility to connect to 2.4GHz channels as well as the new, much faster 5GHz channels. Unfortunately, Ps4 is limited to the 2.4GHz channel.

Both systems can be upgraded to a 1 terabyte hard drive (1000-gigabyte). The Ps4 has a replaceable hard drive for quick and easy installation. The Xbox One’s hard drive is replaceable, but doing so will cause the warranty to be …show more content…
Ps4 and Xbox One both come with their own unique controller. They’re both designed for comfort, size, flexibility, and performance. The Ps4 controller has a smooth black finish with the standard PlayStation controller set up. They have increased the size of the Dual Shock 4 controller from the last generation Ps3 controller. This gives the controller a more fitting feeling while in the hands of the user. It has two feature that sets it apart from the Xbox One controller. It has a touch pad, that works just like a standard Smartphone touchscreen. It also has a share button which allows the user to share pictures, gameplay, or broadcast themselves over the internet. The only problems with the Dual Shock 4 are the thumb sticks which peel away faster than an onion and the battery
