4: That’s Right I said It, The Xbox One’s Graphics Will Never Look Better Than the PS4’s
The Xbox One hardware limitations continue to hurt the console, at least in the PR department. There isn’t a week that goes by where the resolution debate surfaces and PS4 comes out the winner every time. Just yesterday I read somewhere that the Destiny beta would not be in 1080p for the Xbox One. I know, shocking right? Microsoft made a decision to go with a cheaper, slower RAM. This decision alone was not only a crushing blow for Xbox fans but also devastating for developers. Development teams have done everything they can to optimize their games on the Xbox One and they have all seemingly fallen short thus far. The Xbox One just isn’t powerful enough and multiplatform games will always look better on the PS4. The leap from the Xbox to the Xbox 360 was significant. The leap from the 360 to the Xbox One is not. If you are happy with an inferior console when it comes to the hardware, by all means keep your Xbox One.
5: PS4’s Vision, Support and Longevity Take The Cake
Based on sales numbers alone and the PlayStation’s track record, the PS4 isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. It is about as solid as an investment gamers can make. The sole focus of the console is games. Sony’s swagger and arrogance doesn’t seem to hurt the PlayStation in any way and gamers eat it up. They have incredible exclusives on the way and more games are offering PS4 exclusive content. The Xbox One just seems to struggle to keep up and their vision keeps getting murkier by the month. Do I think Microsoft’s new CEO will turn things around? Not at this rate. Sure the recent sales hike with the new cheaper Xbox One is encouraging but in the end this is only a short term band-aid to a problem that needs reconstructive surgery.
