    I personaly think playstation 4 is the best, here is a list of specs and pros and cons

    Xbox One Pros:

    • Extremely fast switching between tasks (TV, movies, skype, etc.)

    • Kinect seems much improved with 1080p quality and more accurate tracking

    • ESPN partnership

    • 300,000 servers for Xbox Live, up from 15,000 last time, according to Microsoft this will allow for "living and persistent worlds" (MMOs, anyone?)

    • Controller seems mostly the same except with improved d-pad

    • Compatible with Smartglass

    • Constant low power state

    • Download games while you play

    • Capture and editing software (very lightly touched upon during the event)

    • Kinect voice commands (useful for when you're holding something, such as food)

    • Triggers have feedback

    • Xbox controller will supposedly be using Wi-Fi direct

    ��� You and 10 family members can access your games library from any Xbox

    • You can access your library from any Xbox

    • Skype integration

    • Streaming through Twitch

    Xbox One Cons:

    • Publishers can block your access to used games

    • Requires a connection to the internet once every 24 hours (1 hour if you're using a different Xbox) [This has been removed by microsoft.]

    • Significantly less powerful than PS4 console (Source 1 and 2)

    • No Backwards compatibility

    • Most likely going to have to pay to play online

    • Microsoft will not allow indie devs to self-publish (for XBLA, if XBLIG is carried over this will be possible, also, Microsoft is apparently working on a plan to allow ALL creators to "be a part of the future of Xbox One")

    • Microsoft has not talked about how or if services like their TV, Music, and other services will work outside of the US, as there are usually complications involved with that kind of thing

    • Kinect voice commands could possibly used by others to troll or other shenanigans

    • 5 GB ram available to devs

    • Got to pay for Gold to access media apps and multiplayer

    • Kinect doesn't ever actually turn off

    • Giving games to friends means they have to be on your list for 30 days and only given once

    • No renting or lending games at launch (they are "exploring possibilities" with their partners)

    PS4 Pros:

    • You can play games/demos while they are downloading

    • Pressing a button puts the console into "low power mode" and when pressed again pick up right where you left off

    • Share button lets you capture footage and upload it (dedicated capture/compression)

    • Ability to stream games through Ustream

    • 8 GB GDDR5 Ram (7gb available to devs)

    • Dualshock controller seems larger and the triggers/analog sticks seem improved (touchpad added, but I don't know if I consider that a pro or con)

    • Sony lets indie devs self-publish games, making it easy to get on the store

    • Cross-play with Vita

    • Compatible with PS Move

    • Download games in the background

    • GPU 50% faster than Xbox

    • Mobile app that will tie in with PS account

    • No restrictions on used games

    PS4 Cons:

    • No backwards compatibility (Sony working on streaming with Gaikai, but nothing certain)

    • You have to pay for PS Plus to use multiplayer (You still get the extra benefits like free games)

    To be completely Honest, im not going to give you what console ill be buying, But what i will tell you is that most other people commenting know jack ****. The Xbox One has 3GB Less ram than the PS4, But the PS4 Use DDR5 Ram which has a lower latency than Xbox One's DDR3 Ram. So it works out about equivalent.

    The Exclusives all go on preferences, and the Online play (Well who will know who's will be better).

    If i was you id go with which ever console your Friends are getting.

    Source(s): I dont have down Syndrome and i stay current with most modern technology.

    I have always been a playstation guy, PS1-PS2-PSP-PSVITA, but i think the Xbox has outdone themselves with this one, before you judge Xbox to quickly i think you'd like to hear some stuff about it.

    Xbox

    * Xbox charges you 60$ for slightly better Online Services which includes Never Crashing.

    * Xbox Amazing Exclusives ( Quantum Break, Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Titanfall )

    * They removed the region blocked, its the publisher that chooses if to block it.

    * People overreact as if PS4 is billion times faster, that's a lie, if anything its 10-30%

    * New Matchmaking system where they put you in games according to your skill.

    * There is no 24 hour connection requirement as they removed it.

    * Xbox is 100$ more expensive as it includes Kinect with it.

    * There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

    * 2 Free Games Every Month

    PS4

    * You can play games while downloading but i think that will lag you, IMO

    * Share button for easy uploading in-game clips

    * Streaming Games

    * Larger Controller than PS3

    * 50$ Required for online services

    * Free Games Every Month

    * Amazing Exclusives ( Killzone, Infamous )

    * SLIGHTLY faster than Xbox One

    * Low power mode ( like pause )

    OVERALL

    I put 9 facts about each console, i really don't understand why people are messing with the Xbox One, They are both consoles, both have pro's and con's, THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAME.

    I'm going with the Xbox One.

    I would go PS4 slightly better specs 100 bucks cheaper Sony has had a better track record of getting really good 1st party exclusives also Sony has a better track record of making more reliable hardware I had a 360 it broke and fixed 3 times its was annoying. PS4 apps and party chat are free like to watch netflix or youtube you don't need to be a Plus subscriber on XB1 you have to have Gold for pretty much every feature. Look at the free to play games that are coming out on PS4 in the launch window as well like PlanetSide 2, WarFrame, DC Universe Online, BlackLight Retribution, War Thunder and more to come not to mention the ton of free games PS Plus has been offering for years now that are pretty recent games.

    Ps4

  • 8 years ago

    I have both systems a xbox 360 and a ps3. I bought my ps3 first day it came out. A year later bought an xbox 360. Trust me you pay for xbox live but what you get with it is worth every single penny. I would happily pay for ps3 online if they offered the features that xbox live has. I feel like the new ps4 is just telling people exactly what they want to hear and get them excited. I reality when it comes out people are going to realize that its not as great as it sounds. I'm going with the xbox one.

    PS4

    Its 50% better than the Xbox one. FACT!!!

  • 8 years ago

    Ps4 is better. Don't believe Nick though, you still have to pay $50 a year to play online multiplayer (playstation plus)

    See below:

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/11/e3-2013-pla...

    Also it has GDDR5 ram, not DDR5.
