Xbox One VS PS4












                                          (From Wikipedia)

Xbox One:                                                                                                                                               Announced in May 21, 2013, the Xbox One compete with it's competitors, Sony Playstation 4 and Wii U. It now has an increased program guide, and will be better enhanced for entertainment purposes and television programming. They also have new features such as a Skype Client, and improved second screen support. Xbox Live members will also be able to edit and share the last five minutes of gameplay (Using the Upload Studio App) which will be recorded by the console. Sadly, the Xbox One will not be able to play the Xbox 360 game titles. However, there is a catch. Xbox live director of programming, Larry Hyrb, says that users will be able to plug their Xbox 360 into their Xbox One's HDMI Port, allowing them to play their Xbox 360 Titles.

Specifications:
The Xbox One has an APU with eight x86-64 cores clocked at 1.75 GHz,[31] based on the Jaguar architecture from AMD, and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM with a memory bandwidth of 68.3 GB/s.[6][32] The memory subsystem also features an additional 32 MB of "embedded static" RAM, or ESRAM, with a memory bandwidth of 109 GB/s.[33] Eurogamer has been told that for simultaneous read and write operations the ESRAM is capable of a theoretical memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s and that a memory bandwidth of 133 GB/s has been achieved with operations that involved alpha transparency blending.[34] The system includes a 500 GB non-replaceable hard drive,[35] and a Blu-ray Discoptical drive.[26][36][37] It was reported that 3 GB of RAM will be reserved for the operating system and apps, leaving 5 GB for games.[7][38][39][40] The graphics processing unit(GPU) is based on an AMD GCN architecture with 12 compute units, which have a total of 768 cores,[32] running at 853 MHz providing an estimated peak theoretical power of 1.31 TFLOPS.[41] For networking, the Xbox One supports Gigabit Ethernet802.11n wireless, and Wi-Fi Direct.

Playstation 4:
Announced on February 20, 2013; it will launch on November 15, 2013 in North America and November 29, 2013 in Europe and Australia. This new Playstation 4, introduces a simpler but powerful design, with AMD processors instead of their cell architecture. They have also added a new feature on the controller, now there is a share button allowing users to watch their friend's in game live stream video gameplay.

Technical specifications: 

(Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4)    

PlayStation 4 will use a processor developed by AMD in cooperation with Sony. It will combine a central processing unit (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU), as well as other components such as a memory controller and video decoder.[28] The CPU consists of two Quad-core Jaguar modules totaling 8 x86-64 cores.[28] The system's GDDR5 memory is capable of running at a maximum clock frequency of 2.75GHz (DDR equaling 5500MHz).[29][30] The console will contain 8 GB of GDDR5 memory,[21][31] 16 times the amount of RAM found in the PS3 and is expected to give the console considerable longevity.[24][32] It also includes secondary custom chips that handle tasks associated with downloading, uploading, and social gameplay.[33][34] These tasks can be handled seamlessly in the background during gameplay or while the system is in sleep mode.[35] The console also contains an audio module, which can support in-game chat as well as "a very large number" of audio streams for use in-game.[36]
Its read-only optical drive is capable of reading Blu-ray Discs at speeds of up to three times that of the PS3's.[32][37] The console will feature a hardware on-the-fly decompression module boosting optical disc reading speed and buffer unread data when a game is not actively accessing the optical drive, forming part of Sony's PlayGo strategy.[36] Like PlayStation 3, the Blu-ray Disc drive should be capable of reading 16-layer 400 GB discs.[38] Although the console will support photos and videos at 4K resolution, the system is not expected to be able to render games beyond 1080p.[39][40] The console will include a 500 gigabyte hard drive for additional storage,[41] which can be upgraded by the user.[42]
PlayStation 4 will feature WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, Bluetooth, and two USB 3.0 ports.[21][32] An auxiliary port will also be included for connection to the PlayStation Camera, a motion detection digital camera device first introduced on the PS3.[21] A mono headset, which can be plugged into the DualShock 4, will come bundled with the system.[43] Audio/video output options include HDMI TV and optical S/PDIF audio.[21] The console does not have an analog audio/video output.[44]
Suspend mode is also provided, which places the console in a low-power state, while allowing users to immediately resume their game once the console is awoken. The console will also be able to download content such as game and OS updates while it is in this state.[45][46]


The Battle will go on! On the comments below, give a shout out to which console you think is best (so far; after every post I shall ask again)!
