Page 27 GAZZETE Xbox One VS Ps4 The next gen consoles have arrived and they both live up to their reputations 100%.Ever since they came out there have been fights and arguments about which one is better.By the time you read this you will know the answer. ler looks a little bit similar to the Xbox 360 controller. The differences include that for now on you connect your headset to the controller instead of the console. It won't emit smells. It also won't break easily when you throw (don't try this whatever you do). Xbox One The Xbox One has a completely new design that makes it look like an experiment gone wrong in a science lab.It is a massive beast that weighs 3.2 Kilograms.It maybe huge and ugly but the software is very impressive and has voice command. Pros: Powerful and large amount of memory, Very good for social media lovers, Voice command( say "Xbox,…"and it will do what you say) Built in Capture card, Allows cross game chat, Has games exclusive to the Xbox One, Can download games while you play What is in the box? In the box you get the Xbox One console, one controller, a mono headset, a HDMI cable and a camera with 1080p quality! That is a decent amount for the average of 500 euro. Cons Large, bulky, heavy and ugly, Expensive, Needs internet connection once every 24 hours, Less powerful than Ps4, Less memory, Must pay for playing second hand games, Chance of Microsoft spying on you. No backwards compatibility. The Controller The Xbox one control1. A CLOCK!!! 2. An Envelope!!! 3. A bottle!!! 4. A towel!! 5. A watch dog!!! 6. Shorter!! 7. A newspaper!!! 8. A “post office” 9. A “teapot” 10. A bar of soap!! 11. An onion!!! 12. All of them!!! PlayStation 4 The PlayStation 4 is the number one rival of the Xbox one and is a tough competitor.It has much more memory than the Xbox one and has better graphics.The controller has a completely new design which gives it a much better feel. What's in the box? For only 400 euro you get the PlayStation 4 console ,one controller, a power cord, an HDMI cable, an ear bud-microphone bundle. The Controller The new Dual Shock 4 controller has a completely new design. They have finally decided to use inverted thumb sticks which is a massive advantage. It has a touch pad near the front but it doesn't have much use, even in places such as moving the mouse while using the internet.If you want to see the controller for yourself you can find it in GameStop or Extra Vision in Portlaoise.You can even have a feel of it. Pros Decent price, Blu-ray compatible, Quieter, Also can record, Also allows cross game chat, Doesn't need internet to work, Can paly used games, Allows you to play on Ps Vita Cons Isn't good for media lovers, Weak inventory, Can't allow recording of YouTube videos, Does not have Voice command Doesn't have as many exclusive games, Can only record for 15 minutes. No backwards compatibility. Winner The winner just has to be the Xbox One but is a very close call. You might disagree but that's how it is.
