Xbox One Vs PS4! Which is the Best Console?


[Music]
now that these two behemoths have been
on the market for three years and we’ve
had time to get comfortable with what
they have to offer it’s finally time to
decide once and for all which one is
king this is rocket science level stuff
welcome to watchmojo.com
and in today’s verses we’re pitting the
two leaders in the console market ps4
and Xbox one against each other to
decide which console is the superior
piece of machinery so all you’ve got to
do Mulkey get a diamond hold town today
in order to make our decision we’re
pitting the consoles against each other
in five rounds each with a distinct
topic the console with the most points
at the end wins let’s get it all round 1
specs the heart of that system is raw
power now because Xbox project Scorpio
hasn’t been revealed yet to match up
with the ps4 Pro for the sake of a fair
comparison we decided to focus on the
two original models let’s start with ps4
Sony equipped his console with an AMD 8
core CPU which clocks at 1.6 gigahertz
it also boasts the 1.8 for teraflop GPU
which is based on AMD Radeon technology
the GPU has 18 compute units with an 800
megahertz clock speed you confused yet
ah this fast hearing stuff is kind of
come in real handy what we’re trying to
say is these specs make the ps4 look
pretty darn good graphics are clean and
crisp and some games are able to run at
a sweet 1080p in short it’s a pretty
powerful console I’m Hannah shed
that’s not to say that Microsoft didn’t
come to the table prepared there Xbox
one has a near identical CPU except that
it runs at one point seven five
gigahertz rather than Sony’s one point
six however this makes a negligible
difference to the games performance will
you step
or will you leave where the Xbox one
falls short is in the GPU department as
it only has 12 compute units with a
clock speed of 853 megahertz so what
does this all mean
while the differences are slight there’s
no denying the ps4s advantage in the
specs department on paper sony’s GPU is
50 percent more powerful than
microsoft’s giving it an advantage in
graphics power rendering and appearance
games on the ps4 look better if only
slightly virtually every time winner ps4
today’s round two extra features
whatever so what kind of other game
related goodies do the consoles bring
the ps4 s single greatest draw has to be
the PlayStation VR released in October
2016 the PSP R is arguably the most
affordable virtual reality experience
you can have at the moment due to its
fun games and relatively low cost
rather than needing a high-end PC that
few can afford psvr
hooks up directly into your ps4 and
gives you a great PR experience complete
with some fun games like rigs and until
dawn
rush of blood the Xbox one comes
equipped with two large gaming related
drawers that the ps4 does in half
connect and peasy cross play well let’s
just say PC cross-play because honestly
does anyone even care about the Kinect
anymore even Microsoft seems to have
abandoned that ship however the Xbox
play anywhere program is a huge draw
allowing cross play between Windows 10
and Xbox Live gamers who purchase a game
either through the Windows Store or Xbox
Store will see it appear on both their
consoles and their pcs complete with
full synchronization like the stairs
nice pick cutter you can even play
competitively with friends who aren’t on
the same device meeting PC players can
finally gain with console players some
games already released with that tech
include Forza horizon 3 and Gears of War
4
as cool as play anywhere is we still
have to give this round to the PS VR
virtual reality offers a far more
immersive and unique way to play that’s
not even a fair fight winner yes for
easy
round three backwards-compatibility
juice let’s get one thing out of the way
PS now is arguably the dumbest thing in
videogame history except for maybe et
for Atari but in order to play older
playstation games gamers need to either
subscribe to PlayStation now for 20
bucks a month or 100 bucks a year first
off twenty bucks for one month just for
ps3 games come on you got to be kidding
also if you don’t have a solid internet
connection you’re Sol
as the games streaming off the Sony
servers rather than download into your
hard drive so your mileage may vary
you’re not doing what you want to do on
screen you’re not doing what you’re
doing with your controller on screen and
it leads to messin up when you’re aiming
at people it’s just not cool
there are also some ps2 games you can
purchase off the PS Store but the
selection as of the time of writing is
kind of limited there are also new ps1
games available despite previous Sony
consoles having that option
[Music]
on the other hand the Xbox one allows
for good old-fashioned backwards
compatibility via emulator technology
while not every 360 game is available
and there are no original Xbox games
which is a real bummer
nearly 300 fan favorites have made the
transition to the new console including
Red Dead Redemption and the Mass Effect
series leads an unstoppable force across
the galaxy with even more coming in the
near future and without the input lag
that the PS now games can suffer from
Xbox one wins this round because PS now
is not a viable replacement for genuine
backwards compatibility winner Xbox one
I’m activating the nuke
I’m sorry ash I had to make a choice
around four controllers
yes we know the controllers are
basically just personal preference at
this point but this is a versus video
and a winner must be declared ps4 is
DualShock 4 is a fine controller indeed
it comes with a headphone jack which
allows gamers to plug headphones or
earbuds directly into the controller
rather than messing around with wires or
bluetooth it also comes equipped with
some unique tools which help with
interaction including the speaker and
touchpad the controller speaker pops up
in the odd game to act as a phone or a
similar device weapon power-ups and the
touchpad usually serves as a sliding
mechanism so we tried a bunch of
different things with the touchpad the
controller also has motion control built
in which is used to great benefit in
games like until dawn where you can’t
move lest you be eaten just don’t be the
party pooper who places it on the table
the only negative thing we can think of
is that this controller charges via USB
and a single charge is only good for
about eight hours sony seriously needs
to work on the battery life there
the Xbox one controller is also mighty
fine complete with some slight
improvements from controllers passed
like a tweaked d-pad and a nice rumble
in the triggers so in addition to the
Rumble game developers which they’ve had
with 360 is with Xbox one they’re going
to have the rumble as well as this
additional feedback as you said where
they can maybe give the kick back of a
rifle or a vehicle another nice caveat
is that it either runs on double-a
batteries or a proprietary charge kit
which allows it to run for up to 30
hours the Xbox one also has the added
benefit of the elite controller which
comes with hair trigger locks swappable
components button remapping and a bunch
of other great features
while your average casual player may not
care too much about it the elite
controller is a great addition to any
serious gamers collection sorry
DualShock your battery life sucks and we
simply can’t pass up the beauty that is
the elite winner Xbox one round 5
exclusive games and put the gun down I
won’t you do it uh yes the games you
know the actual reason why we buy these
machines in the first place even if
you’re an Xbox fanboy there’s no denying
that the beasts are the ps4 exclusives
they have a pretty awesome library of
games like Uncharted 4 blood-borne
Ratchet and Clank and the Last Guardian
what the ps4 may lack in backwards
compatibility it makes up for in
remasters as the console is also
exclusively home to amazing-looking
remasters of already great-looking games
like the Uncharted trilogy The Last of
Us and God of War 3 that is actually
before my time that is not to say that
the Xbox one doesn’t have its fair share
of exciting titles console exclusives
include Gears of War which is a great
return to form for the series ports the
series of games which are arguably the
leaders in the racing genre sunset
overdrive and halo 5 guardians another
entry in Microsoft’s biggest franchise
it also has one of the coolest
compilation packs ever with rare replay
30 amazing titles offer a discount price
and honestly this puts most other game
compilation packs to shame
however while fun these games arguably
don’t even compare to the modern titles
for the ps4 both in terms of artistry
and sense and enjoyment Nathan Drake
also many Xbox exclusives can now also
be found on PC which you know kind of
defeats the purpose of an exclusive
title winner ps4 that was a close one
huh
shut up my goddamn plane mate we’re fine
thanks so there you have it
the ps4 just edges out the Xbox with a
score of three to two while the Xbox has
some fantastic controllers and the
welcoming addition of backwards
compatibility the ps4 is exclusive games
superior specs and it’s edition of the
psvr
pushes it over the edge

console is your favorite be sure to
