Can you believe that the Xbox One and Playstation 4 came out three years ago? It is safe to say we are in the middle of the console gaming generation, with amazing technological upgrades to the Xbox and PlayStation systems over the years. But I believe if you want the best video game experience, Sony's PlayStation 4 reigns supreme. I have played every type of PlayStation console since the late 90's to early 2000's. No other console has given me a better gaming experience than PlayStation. Here are five reason why PlayStation is better than Xbox:
5. PlayStation Vue
Yes, Microsoft's Xbox One offers applications where you can watch sports, movies, television shows. For example Netflix, Hulu, Watch ESPN, etc. But the PlayStation 4 offers a reliable and affordable cable service, that can be downloaded on the console. From Cartoon Network, CBS, TNT and TBS, depending on your subscription, PlayStation Vue offers countless channels you can enjoy. If you are sports fan like myself, it is a definite must have. I only pay $34.99 per month for 80+ plus channels and sport network like ESPN, Fox Sports, NFL Network and NBA TV. It also allows you to record your favorite shows. Pretty awesome right? It's way better than these expensive cable packages these days.
4. The Console is Smaller
Compared to the Xbox One the PlayStation 4 is a heck of a lot smaller. Which is a good thing. It's fits perfecting in my home entertainment setup and easier to travel with if I want to visit my parents house. People may find this size argument to be irrelevant because usually your game system stays on a cabinet or a entertainment set. However, with more and more entertainment devices for the living room, more households are finding it extremely difficult to fit everything in their television cabinet. But the PS4 is small enough where finding space should not be a problem, opposed to the Xbox One, which is pretty bulky.
3. Games, Games and more Games
There is no better reason to get a gaming console other than its games library. Since 2013, PlayStation 4's game library has grown tremendously. Their exclusive games that can't find on Xbox One either. Games like " Ratchet and Clank" and " Street Fighter V" have got nothing but praise and are only available for PS4 systems. You can't go wrong with PS4 games.
2. Built in Controller Headphone-Jack
The DualShock 4 controller comes in with a built in audio jack, which comes in handy for those online gamers out there. This allows gamers to hear all of the system’s sound through the headphones of their choice without having to go out to buy anything extra. You can do the same for Xbox One but you have to buy the equipment that allows this function to work. Personally, I can put in my Beats by Dre headphones in the controller and enjoy a night of peaceful gaming.
1. Cost
While the PS4 cost $399, the Xbox One has a price tag of $499. This substantial price difference will go a long way in attracting gamers who are getting the same specs at a much lower price in the PS4. This in turn will provide a huge boost to the sales of the PS4 at launch as gamers will definitely prefer the cheaper version. Prices always matter and $100 difference cannot be ignored. Sony also offers bundles for the PS4 console. That offers the console, controller and a brand new game that run up to $350. Can't beat that right?
