Xbox 720 or PS4: Which system is better?

In the last several years, video gamers have had one question that has yet to be answered. Which game system is better, the PlayStation 4 or the Xbox 720? Both systems should be released to the public late this year.

There has been competition between the two gaming systems for a long time and all arguments are based upon the many specs each of the systems has to offer. Specs ranging from the overall prices, internet usage, graphics, DVD/Blu-Ray player, and the amount of memory each system holds play key parts.

As many examples there are to determine the difference between the two, there is a high possibility that the two are going to be similar. Senior developer of Eurogamer, Yannis Mallat gave feedback on the systems.

“It's going to be connected. It's going to be social. It's going to be immersive. It's going to be interactive,” Mallat said.

Both systems will have Blu-Ray players, more memory space, cameras, and new ways to share gameplay on popular social media. The big features that Xbox 720 will have are that it will require a mandatory Kinect, have a new controller, could pack in a TV tuner, and a solid Internet server. All specs mentioned are approved and guaranteed by Microsoft.

As many new features there are on the Xbox 720, Sony’s PS4 will also have the same amount of features.

Coming from a big supporter of Sony products, I truly believe there is a higher possibility of having a better experience with PlayStation because of the consistent quality of Internet usage, Blu-Ray player and an easy-to-use setup and maintenance.

A lot of the features in the PS4 are similar to the last model PS3, including upgrades. Unlike the Xbox 720, the PS4 has changed the game by making it more accessible to use and share on popular social media by adding a screen on the controller. The controller also consists of a six-axis motion sensing system, a built-in speaker, Bluetooth, and a built-in rechargeable battery.

Another reason why I prefer the PS4 over the Xbox 720 is because of the many games PlayStation has to offer and also include the best graphics and effects. PS4 already has eight games that will be open to public the same time. In addition to all of the accessories, PlayStation always wins me over because of the free, high quality Internet usage. No matter what you’re doing that involves the Internet, you are guaranteed fast service.

The PS4 is expected to come out during the fall of 2013 while there is talk about the Xbox 720 will be for sale a little later, possibly during the winter of 2013.
