All my gamers out there, which do you prefer, Playstation or Xbox? Because the newest consoles have been announced and are right around the corner for gamers to indulge in. Although Xbox One was unveiled back in May, the PS4 had its first launch today and the public will be learning more over the next few days.
With a surprising turn in the launch, Sony did not actually reveal the new look of the PlayStation 4, only the new and improved Dualshock 4 controller. With all new features like a highly sensitive 6-axis sensor, touch pad, share button and 4-colored LED light bar this new controller is designed to offer gamers new ways to ineract with each other and the game. It has a built-in speaker and headphone jack to make chatting easier. The new ergonomic shape improves comfort and improved analog sticks create a more precise control, as well as enhanced vibration. With the cosign of multiple developers, Sony explained that the new PS4 was created to ensure that game creators can develop the best games for the system to the best of their imaginations. As with the PS3, it will not be backwards compatible. It will now have Cloud features that allow you to play as you download and easy uploading to YouTube. The last piece of information on the new system is good news for you PS Vita owners because it will be upgraded too. The Vita will soon be a second screen experience for PS4 owners.
The all-in-one entertainment system where the experience is custom tailored to you, the new Xbox has a surprisingly big focus on your entertainment needs, rather than strictly gaming. Although Xbox One developers seemed to have trouble sending a consistent message about the system and its gaming abilities, there is no confusion in what else it is capable of. You can quickly switch from TV to movies to music or to a game just with the sound of your voice by using the included Kinect. Which seems to be a slight problem for some future Xbox One users as the Kinect will always be on on this system. Xbox One also includes DVR features and a home screen that will personalize itself as it gets to know you. Although the unveiling had less of a focus on gaming as Sony, we know that Xbox One will also not be backwards compatible. It was given a new gamepad with a new sleek look along with 40-plus improvements. Some of which includes the battery case no longer protruding from the back and a design driven from precision, comfort and making gaming more realistic than ever. This new controller is programmed with four separate motors to better differentiate the experience of revving a car engine to gunning down enemies and so on.
I'm a much bigger fan of PlayStation than I am of Xbox so I know who I'll be siding with, but who do you think will have the better console? Who will sell more, create better games, have better pricing? There's so much more to learn as the unveiling continues over the next few days.
