Line of game consoles Xbox One is gradually being updated. At the moment, it has 3 versions: regular, S and X. With each new version of the console, Microsoft adds new features, cosmetic changes and updates the hardware.

Each model is special in its own way, so before going to the store you should figure out which Xbox One is better is right for you.

The Xbox One gaming console replaced the 7th generation Xbox 360 console in 2013. She became third in a row for Microsoft.

Xbox One design often compared to an old VHS player. The first revision turned out to be really large in size, compared to the same Xbox 360.


The developers reconsidered their approach to creating game consoles, which only required launching the game. Now the game console is full-fledged media combine. In particular, this became available after a significant hardware upgrade.

The hardware architecture is computer-based, which allows developers to install redesigned Windows 8, “tailored” for the console. This gave rise to the possibility of comfortable use different applications: YouTube, Twitch, Skype and others.

Xbox One vs Xbox One S

The first thing that catches your eye when comparing the Xbox One and Xbox One S is the size. The new One S has become 40% less, as Microsoft itself claims.

Compared with the regular version, the white body looks stylish and neat, but this, of course, is not a fundamental difference. Really nice, but not the only plus - The power supply is now built-in. Powering the console does not require a large box that is connected externally.


All video content can be viewed in 4K resolution. In addition, it was added HDR support, which significantly affected the quality of color rendering.

Games will not run in 4K, but HDR will be available, so the picture will be a little nicer, thanks to high-quality lighting and shadows. Of course, the games will not be radically different from those that will be launched on the regular version.

The updated gamepad will already be in the box with the Xbox One S. Users won’t see anything super new - it’s still the same controller, just slightly improved. Rubberized handles have been added, which has a better effect on ergonomics in general, as well as a new function for connecting the gamepad to a PC via Bluetooth.

After we figured it out, Why is Xbox One S better than Xbox One?, some conclusions can be drawn. Most likely, purchasing the S version will be beneficial for those who already have a 4K TV in order to use the full potential of watching movies and videos.

If there is no suitable TV, then you should think about either replacing the old one or buying a regular version. In general, it’s worth relying on for your gaming budget.

Xbox One vs Xbox One X

If you haven't decided where to invest your money yet, to a gaming PC or Xbox One, pay attention to the X version of the console.

For today Xbox One X is one of the most powerful consoles presented on the market. Its only competitor is the PlayStation 4 Pro. On board the X modification is 12 GB of RAM, an 8-core processor operating at a frequency of 2.3 GHz, and a new version of the graphics chip with a frequency of 1.1 GHz.


Price of Xbox One X with 1TB hard drive approximately 30-35 thousand rubles. When building a PC for the same amount, you will not receive and half the productivity, which is contained in this console when it comes to games.

Xbox One X can run not only videos, but also games in 4K resolution and HDR mode. Game process exceeds all expectations: stable 60 FPS, high-quality color reproduction and surround sound.

You can record screen videos in 4K and 60fps.

According to the official Xbox website - Xbox One X is 40% more powerful any currently existing console.

Xbox One or Xbox One S- good consoles, but compared to them - something really impressive.

There are few shortcomings and most of them are not entirely related to the console itself. Firstly - high price. The X modification is more suitable for avid gamers who are used to getting the most out of the gameplay: sound, smoothness, clarity of textures, etc.

Secondly, without a suitable TV you won't be able to enjoy all the benefits of 4K gaming.

If you want to play with good graphics, are not very demanding on the quality of absolutely every pixel and can tolerate the occasional drop in FPS, you might want to consider purchasing early versions of Xbox One. But if you are not used to saving on pleasure and want everything at once, the choice is obvious - Xbox One X.

Microsoft sells several Xbox One consoles of different modifications. The original Xbox One was released in 2013, and was replaced by the Xbox One S in 2016. In November 2017, Microsoft began selling another Xbox One, the Xbox One X. All of these consoles are combined into one family and support the same collection of games (even games from Xbox 360 and original Xbox). But there are a few significant differences between these three Xboxes that you should be aware of before purchasing one or the other.

Xbox One 2013< 20 000 рублей

Surely everyone knows about this console. The original Xbox One came out in November 2013 and its appearance resembles either a coffin or an old VCR, only with a hole for DVDs. All original Xbox Ones included Kinect, making the console prohibitively expensive. Not only was the Xbox One slower than the PlayStation 4 Pro, it was also $100 more expensive. As a result, Sony overtook Microsoft in terms of sales.

Microsoft gathered its leadership and decided that it needed to mobilize somehow. The solution was to eliminate Kinect from the vast majority of Xbox One bundles and reduce the cost accordingly. Kinect was eventually discontinued altogether.

The original Xbox One doesn't have the best reputation, not only because of its monstrous size, but also because of the large power supply that would lie like a brick next to your TV. Unfortunately, in 2013 (and throughout the previous years of Xbox One development), the developers were unable to fit the power supply into such a huge case.

The very first Xbox One from 2013 has already been discontinued, but you can still find this console for a relatively small price in various stores (the official Microsoft Store no longer sells and is unlikely to sell the original Xbox One). If you're willing to sacrifice the size and inconvenience of a large external power supply for a lower cost, the Xbox One will still serve you well, as four years after its release it continues to receive updates and supports all modern games. There are not yet (and will not be within the One generation) games that run on the One S/X but don't run on the One 2013.

  • Can be found at low cost.
  • Supports and will support all modern games without problems.
  • Big.
  • Large external power supply.
  • Cannot be installed vertically.

Xbox One S 2016 from 22,000 rubles

Xbox One S was an improved version of the original Xbox One. The console remained essentially the same (processor, graphics, RAM, etc.), but received a large number of external changes. The cost of the console has also dropped significantly. The Xbox One S is available in white and is 40% smaller than the Xbox One. In addition, the new model does not have the hated large power supply. Microsoft engineers managed to not only reduce the body of the console by 40%, but also put a power supply inside, which is definitely cool.

Xbox One S has also received a number of other ergonomic improvements that will positively impact your experience. For example, a USB-A port appeared on the front of the console. This makes it easier to connect external drives or accessories. Moreover, unlike the Xbox One, the One S can officially be installed vertically. True, it is best to do this using a special stand, which is sold separately.

An important difference between the Xbox One S and the Xbox One is the lack of a proprietary port for Kinect. In other words, you you can't connect Kinect to Xbox One S without additional accessories. This decision was made in order to save space inside the already small console. At the time of development of the Xbox One S, Microsoft already understood that the Kinect as a gaming device was a dead idea. Therefore, to reduce the size of the Xbox One S, the developers abandoned the port. If you still want to connect Kinect to Xbox One S (and Xbox One X too), you'll need to purchase a special adapter.

The Xbox One S also comes with a redesigned controller. It has a few minor changes, like a textured rear panel and a redesigned front design. A much more important change is the fact that the controller now supports Bluetooth, so it can be connected directly to your computer, without the need for special adapters (see "How to connect an Xbox One controller to your computer"). But it should be noted that you can use any Xbox One gamepad with any Xbox One. The controller from Xbox One 2013 connects to the new Xbox One X, and the included Xbox One X gamepad works absolutely fine with the old Xbox One 2013.

There are several important improvements under the hood of the Xbox One S. The console supports 4K image output, but only for video, not for games. There is also support for HDR content (the TV must be HDR10 compatible). And although the games don't run in 4K resolution (the console is too weak for that), they do support HDR, which the original Xbox One doesn't have.

Technically Xbox One S A little stronger than Xbox One. Graphics are accelerated by about 7.1%, which was a necessity for 4K/HDR support. Microsoft also says games work on Xbox One S A little better than the first Xbox One. Independent tests have shown this to be true. But this fact should not be decisive, since games work the same on Xbox One and Xbox One S in almost 99% of cases.

Xbox One S is the choice of those who want an Xbox One, but do not have a 4K TV and do not plan to purchase one. The console has recovered from many of the ills of Xbox One 2013 and deservedly enjoys the console with the best price-quality-features ratio. The console will serve you for many more years, so you can safely buy it now or next year.

  • Small.
  • No external power supply.
  • Supports 4K video and HDR in games.
  • Inexpensive.
  • Convenient gamepad compatible with Windows 10 computers.
  • More convenient in terms of ergonomics.
  • Can be installed vertically (requires purchase of a separate stand).
  • No port for Kinect.

Xbox One X 2017 39,990 rubles

Microsoft began selling the Xbox One X in November 2017 and the company calls it “the most powerful console in the world,” which is actually true. It is significantly faster than Xbox One / One S and even PlayStation 4 Pro. Xbox One X is capable of delivering native 4K resolution not only in movies, but also in games, while maintaining a high frame rate per second.

As expected, the Xbox One X is more expensive than the Xbox One S/One. For the standard One X set in Russia they are asking 39,990 rubles.

While the Xbox One X is a significant upgrade over previous One models, it isn't exactly the next generation. The One X is part of the One family, which means all existing Xbox One games run on the X. The only difference is that the games support higher resolutions and higher frame rates per second. In addition, the user receives various graphical beauties, such as increased rendering distance, better detail, anti-aliasing, and so on. Moreover, the frame counter sags less frequently and games load faster.

It's also important to note the fact that the Xbox One X is even smaller than the Xbox One S, not to mention the 2013 Xbox One. Like the Xbox One S, the 2017 model has an internal power supply, so no ugly bricks near the TV or outlet. The Xbox One X only comes in black and comes with a 1TB hard drive by default, as 4K games require a lot of storage space. Xbox One S and Xbox One start at 500 GB, but all of these consoles can manually increase the hard drive by replacing it or purchasing an external one.

The Xbox One X should technically support VR games, but Microsoft is in no rush to release them on consoles just yet. If there is VR support on Xbox in the future, users will get the best "experience" on the Xbox One X. It is likely that VR will not be available on the One S/One, but this is purely a guess based on the fact that The graphics of the One S/One consoles are much weaker than the One X.

Xbox One X is Microsoft's direct answer to the PlayStation 4 Pro. The Microsoft console is much more powerful, so games run better on it. You just have to pay extra for this improvement. The PS 4 Pro costs $399, while the Xbox One X costs $499. It's also important to understand that not all games on Xbox One X will run at 4K/60 FPS. It all depends on how well developers optimize their games. Some games only support high resolution, and some games will only achieve high FPS. In other toys, only visual improvements will be noticeable, such as the same increased drawing distance or smoothing. Before purchasing an Xbox One X, we encourage you to check to see if the games you're interested in have received the appropriate improvements. At the time of writing this article at the end of November 2017, not all toys have already been optimized, but every day more and more titles receive the corresponding optimizations.

  • Very powerful and can deliver 4K / 60 FPS in modern games.
  • Very small (smaller than One S).
  • No external power supply.
  • The basic package includes a 1 TB drive, not 500 GB.
  • All the advantages of Xbox One S are available.
  • Expensive.
  • No port for Kinect.

How to choose an Xbox One

If you buy an Xbox One in early 2018, for example, you should most likely give up the idea of ​​purchasing the original Xbox One (unless you are a collector or for some reason want to buy a monstrous console for its size). The small difference in price is not worth the shortcomings you have to put up with. Still, if your budget is as tight as possible, you can find refurbished or even new 2013 Xbox Ones for modest amounts of money.

Xbox One, Xbox One S and Xbox One X.

Xbox One S looks better in everything. The console is newer, smaller and better in everything. This is the golden mean for owners of traditional HD / FullHD monitors and TVs. The console will still be able to play Xbox One X games, just with slightly worse graphics and a lower resolution. You only need to pay the extra $200 for the Xbox One X if you plan to upgrade to a 4K monitor or TV. No such plans? Then Xbox One S is your choice until the new generation of Microsoft consoles comes out. Yes, Xbox One X games will work on FullHD TVs A little better, but this difference is hardly worth paying almost twice as much if you don’t plan to buy yourself a 4K monitor or TV in the future.

Basically, that's all you need to know about the three Microsoft consoles. Now the choice is yours. When determining which console you need, consider budget, console comfort, and your monitor and TV. We are sure that you will be able to choose the best option for yourself, which will provide you with a lot of fun in modern or old games.

Of course, it’s cool, but we won’t remember it anymore. Let's talk about the giants who really took over the world and divided it into two irreconcilable poles. Which console is better and how do they differ? Xbox One or PlayStation 4?

Choosing a top-end gaming console: PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?

This borrowed word allows you to feel the difference between the two consoles. After all, if the PlayStation 4 positions itself exclusively as a device for video games, then the Xbox Van positions itself as a powerful multimedia center. Do you think this doesn't solve anything? But no, positioning greatly influences what we end up with. This is especially true for console hardware and built-in software.

Specifications

The power of the consoles does not differ much, but positioning plays a big role here. Both Xbox One and PS4 have 8GB of RAM. But Xbox uses 5 GB for video games, and the remaining three for additional software. The PlayStation has only 1 GB of RAM allocated for third-party needs. This is not the only reason why the Japanese console is more geared towards games. The PlayStation has a powerful new-generation video card and a number of other technical features, thanks to which it is ahead of the Xbox in this regard.

All this, in fact, although important, has little effect on overall performance during gameplay. Yes, if you compare graphics, then on PS4 it is slightly (and in some games noticeably) better than on Xbox One. However, this depends on the specific game, on how well it was optimized for a particular console, and here, of course, exclusives win. But more about them later.

operating system

What do we have on the XBox Van? Let's remember positioning again! and compare based on it. Here, instead of one system, they installed two at once. It's Xbox OS and mini Windows that connect and work together. Thanks to this, we can simultaneously play and watch TV channels (picture in picture), and use a number of other Smart TV functions. The possibilities don't end there. Various standard applications have been added to the Xbox Van: Skype, social networks, and a convenient browser. Besides them, you can download a bunch of other things, there are many more applications than on Sony. Therefore, those who decided to purchase a console to remove the need for other gadgets that take up space on the table under the TV will really like the Xbox One.

Games

Actually, this is what consoles are bought for. The Xbox 360, the previous generation console, was in demand largely due to its ability to download free games. Now this is not possible. Not possible on PS4 either. This generation (eighth) has not yet been hacked. And even if they do get hacked, the role of a permanent network connection is too great today. In a word, you will have to buy games both here and there. On both consoles they cost a lot of money, but are very convenient to purchase. The need for disks here is even less than on the seventh generation; downloading is much easier.

The more equal the purchasing conditions are, the more emphasis is placed on exclusive games. It’s difficult to give a clear victory to one of the consoles, but PS4 wins in terms of numbers versus Xbox One. Let's list at least the best exclusives.

PS4


Xbox One


Based on the quantity and quality of games, any gamer, if he is not a fan of the Halo series, will without hesitation decide what to choose: PS4 or Xbox One.

Accessories

Playing without a gamepad will not be very convenient. Therefore, you should focus on joysticks. On the Xbox Van it has not undergone significant changes. Yes, we can say that the ideal does not need to be changed, but Sony’s controller was excellent, and they made a fundamentally new thing. Microsoft only decided to hone a few details: they added vibration to the buttons, slightly changed the appearance and made everything a little more convenient. A few years later they also released an elite controller costing more than ten thousand rubles. It's certainly worth the price, but it's a bit like a SteelSeries mouse.

The developers from Sony took a completely different path. Instead of a beautiful modification, they made a fundamentally new DualShock 4. The main innovation: the touch panel. Using it, you can perform various actions in games, and it is also more convenient to enter on the virtual keyboard. Of course, the feature is not used in all games, but it already characterizes the console as a new generation device.

The Share button allows you to share your gameplay with other users with one click. The indicator light helps distinguish several different joysticks. The built-in speaker produces a certain amount of sound in the game (this is done very conveniently in GTA 5). The headphone jack is actually a very cool thing. Using it, you can output all the sound through the joystick to a stereo headset.

Cameras

Even though camera games are becoming increasingly obsolete, many people used to choose the Xbox One only because of the Kinect. And this excellent camera migrated to the new console, becoming much more powerful. Kinect is a device that detects any smallest movements, room temperature, heartbeat and is more reminiscent of some kind of spy gadget than a simple accessory. An advantage to this: Kinect comes complete with a console, which, by the way, was met with indignation by many. Nevertheless, it does not significantly increase the cost and now, to the delight of many, consoles are sold without a camera. There are still many games that support this accessory in the Xbox Van.

The same can't be said about PS4. The camera from Sony is sold separately and it is unlikely that anyone will want to buy it. Advantages: several interesting projects that you can spend several weeks on, the ability to control the system using voice and gestures (which, by the way, Kinect also has). And that's probably all. The camera you buy will gather dust, just like it did with Eye on PS3. Fortunately, here at least you don’t have to spend money on such an incomprehensible thing as Movie. Therefore, the choice here: PS4 or Xbox One is easily decided in favor of the latter.

VR

An item that will easily add a hundred points in favor of the PS4. And again we can remember about positioning. The developers at Sony really care about creating the best gaming console. Therefore, virtual reality glasses first appeared on PlayStation. Of course, there are still not enough games, but this device can no longer be compared with what is produced for smartphones or PCs. Here are a few games you can buy a PS VR for:

  • Resident Evil Biohazard;
  • Batman Arkham VR;
  • Eagle Flight;
  • Farpoint.

Bottom line

What should you choose? This comparison of Xbox One and PS4 showed a fundamental difference in the developers' approach. If you decide to buy something that will give you access to a huge number of games and a wide variety of gaming capabilities, then this is definitely the PlayStation 4.

Are you interested in the possibility of killing the need to purchase a gaming, TV and media console with one purchase? Then the sales assistant in the store will easily convince you to buy a Wii U (after all, we lied at the beginning) or an Xbox One. The differences lie in the purposes of use.

" itemprop="image">

Xbox One and PS4 are constantly evolving - both consoles have received thinner bodies, new features and, of course, many new games. Xbox One has a lot of entertainment and games that were so loved on the Xbox 360, and PS4 continues to rely on its user-friendly interface. There are even improved versions of these two devices, offering HDR video playback and running games in 4K resolution.

More importantly, the Xbox One and PS4 offer a ton of cool games, and the consoles themselves cost less than $300. But which one should you choose? We've conducted an extensive, multi-point analysis to help you understand which console is better, xbox one or ps4?

Game library

Many of the games released exclusively on Xbox One and PS4 are some of the best of their kind. These range from true blockbusters like Fallout 4, Doom and Resident Evil 7 to indie favorites like Shovel Knight, Inside and Rocket League.

PS4 Exclusives

Exclusives on XBOX One

The winner of this round is the PS4, which offers many more games that you can play exclusively on this console.

Compatible with legacy games and services

You don't have to buy an Xbox One to play some of the best games developed by Microsoft. As part of the Play Everywhere initiative, you can purchase digital versions of ReCore and Forza Motorsport 7, which will be available in your account on both console and Windows 10 PC. So anyone with a decent gaming PC can skip the Xbox purchase One.

However, if you have an impressive library of Xbox 360 games, then the latest version of the console will be the best option for you. On it you can run Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and the entire Gears of War franchise, in addition to a bunch of games from the original Xbox, which came out in 2001.

You can play old games on PS4, but you'll have to pay for it. A small selection of classic PS2 games are available, but you'll have to pay $15 for each one. At the same time, they all look great in 1080p, and are also combined with the latest developments like Share Play and Remote Play.

You can also play any game released on PS3 on PS4 using PlayStation Now technology. All this is available thanks to streaming technology, but for the pleasure you need to pay 10 dollars a month, or 100 dollars a year. As a counter-argument, Xbox offers Game Pass, which gives you access to more than a hundred games for Xbox One and Xbox 360 (the list even includes Metal Gear Solid V and Gears of War 4) for the same money. Xbox One also offers exclusive access to the EA Access library for just $30 per year.

The winner in this round is the Xbox One, as it offers hundreds of games, cross-play with PC, and gives access to all games from all three generations of the console for a very reasonable price.

Hardware and design

Both devices of the latest generation of consoles are incredibly compact and fit perfectly not only on a shelf under the TV, but even in a bag. The latest PS4 is incredibly thin, but it doesn't have a port for gaming's most innovative headsets.

Which is better xbox one or ps4 pro?

The PS4 Pro, which supports 4K video, looks more like a hamburger, while the Xbox One X, which is even more powerful than the Pro, is somehow even thinner than the Xbox One S.

Both consoles offer 500GB of storage space, which is incredibly easy to expand with external hard drives. PS4 owners can also open up their device and insert a new 2.5-inch hard drive into it.

Each controller has its own unique features: the Xbox One can be customized through the Xbox Design Lab, while the DualShock 4 is more ergonomic, has a touchpad and backlighting. And while the PS4 controller can be charged directly from the console, Xbox One owners must rely on batteries or buy an additional charger for $25.

Which is better ps4 slim or xbox one? If you don't mind spending $400 on PlayStation VR, then the PS4 is the only contender that supports virtual reality. At the same time, Microsoft should soon provide its own VR devices, and all of them will be compatible with Xbox One.

PS4 wins this round mainly due to its gamepad and the ability to connect virtual reality devices.

User Friendly

The ever-evolving Xbox One interface is quite intuitive: app icons are large, it's easy to create shortcuts to games, all your friends are displayed in the menu, where you can track achievements and take screenshots with just one click. Microsoft continues to add new features like sending a game to a friend as a gift or getting help from support right in the menu with Xbox Assist technology.

Both consoles allow you to stream directly to Twitch, but only the PS4 offers YouTube streaming capabilities. You can also post your screenshots to any social network, while Xbox One users are limited to the internal network but can stream through Microsoft's Mixer service.

Both options also support the ability to play games away from the TV, which is a very convenient feature when there are too many people in the living room. PS Remote Play lets you connect to Vista, select XPeria devices, and your PC or Mac. Xbox One users can also redirect the stream to tablets or laptops running Windows 10.

PS4 wins this round because it has a better interface and there are tons of tools to stream and share your best moments with friends, and if this is important to you, then you have already realized that it is better to buy an xbox one or ps4.

Entertainment

Let's start with the fact that the Xbox One is a powerful entertainment machine. The system has the unique ability to carry your cable TV signal, allowing you to quickly switch between gaming and watching your favorite show. All Xbox One S, Xbox One X and PS4 Pro can stream 4K content, but only Microsoft consoles support 4K Blu-ray. Otherwise, both PS4 and Xbox One cover much of the entertainment world, from Netflix and Hulu apps to more niche products like WWE Network and Crunchyroll.

Spotify, supported on both consoles, lets you set your favorite background music no matter what you're playing. In addition, Xbox One also supports SoundCloud and Pandora.

Both consoles will also make it easy to ditch cable TV. PS4 offers its own online TV service, PlayStation Vue (from $40 per month), containing almost all the major channels, and switching between them is made easy by a simple and well-designed interface.

Xbox One, in turn, offers you the Sling TV service, which contains subscriptions to major cable networks and allows you to install add-ons for Epix or HBO. If you have an adapter and an antenna, and do not want to disconnect from cable, then simply plug the cord into your set-top box.

The winner in this round is Xbox, which offers high-quality images to both those who prefer cable and those who decide to abandon it.

Which is better xbox x or ps4 pro: comparing multiplayer and network capabilities

Both Microsoft's Xbox Live Gold ($60 per year, $10 per month) and Sony's PlayStation Plus ($60 per year, $10 per month) let you play online, and both offer a ton of extra benefits.

PlayStation Plus users get two free games per month, and Xbox Live Gold users are offered the same. You can get both indie games and blockbusters like Assassin's Creed and Metal Gear Solid.

The value of these programs directly depends on the power of your console. It's nice that all the games you receive will be available all the time you use a paid subscription.

Both subscriptions often offer games at a discount, and both offer free cloud storage, but the PS4's storage capacity is limited to 10 GB. At the same time, it is worth noting that the stability of the Xbox One network is much higher, but the PS4 network very often encounters malfunctions.

Xbox One wins this round because its networks are more stable and the number of games available to Gold subscribers is usually much higher.

So what should you choose?

For example, most of my friends have a PS4, and they chose it in favor of it, since not all exclusives on Xbox One remained so, due to the fact that some of them were released on PC. At the same time, Sony continues to stick to its line.

The biggest problem is the fact that cross-platform play with friends is not even theoretically possible, so if you are a fan of multiplayer, you need to focus on this factor. However, you can complete exclusives by exchanging consoles with a friend for a couple of days - this way you both win.

Which is better xbox one s or ps4: let's compare the cost

The minimum cost of Xbox One S is 17,990 rubles - and it is cheaper than PS4 Slim. At the same time, both consoles are constantly on discounts, and you can buy them for 16 thousand rubles each. However, the One S also offers you a Blu-ray player that you won't find anywhere else for the same money.

Which is better xbox one x or ps4?

If you need to play in 4K resolution, then PS4 Pro costs 29,990 rubles, but Xbox One X costs 39,990 rubles. Although the price of the second option is much higher, real gamers immediately appreciated the fact that the image quality is worth the money.

The Xbox One wins this round, as it is the cheapest blu-ray player at the moment.

Results

As you may have noticed from the rounds, PS4 won, but this means little for specific users. For example, families or fans of Microsoft franchises will feel much more comfortable with the Xbox One.

Exclusives and what console your friends are playing on will also have a huge impact on your decision, because no one wants to play Destiny 2 alone.

*We write articles about PS and XBOX exclusives, after looking at which you can decide on this factor.

In any case, only you and no one else can answer the question - which is better than the xbox 360 or ps4; choosing based on technical factors is stupid.

Electronics manufacturers, as a rule, with each model update strive to make their products as elegant and compact as possible. However, when developing the Xbox One game console, this trend was completely ignored. The new device is significantly larger than its predecessor - it is approximately 6 cm longer and 1 cm taller and wider than the Xbox 360. In addition, the design of the Xbox One console allows for placement only in a horizontal position.

Specifications


The Xbox One gaming console is equipped with an 8-core processor, 8 GB of RAM, a 500 GB hard drive and a Blu-Ray drive. Such a powerful “filling” allows you to take the world of computer games to a new level due to more realistic graphics.

Gamepad


In appearance, the Xbox One Gamead is not much different from its predecessor. There are only three main noticeable changes. Firstly, the deflection between the end horizontal keys has been leveled out thanks to a glossy plastic insert. Secondly, the battery recess is now completely recessed into the case and no longer sticks out. Thirdly, the “cross” got rid of rounded shapes and began to work much more accurately. Other changes in the form of slightly beveled handles and slightly mixed control buttons are not so noticeable, but they cope with the task very successfully - the joystick fits in the hand like a glove.


In addition, the Xbox One controller is now officially compatible with Windows, so you can connect it to your computer if you wish.

Kinest


The camera of the Xbox One game console has also increased significantly in size. The new Kinest is now better suited for small spaces: this is made possible thanks to an expanded viewing angle of 70 degrees vertically and 60 degrees horizontally (for the Xbox 360 game console this figure is 57 and 43 degrees). Now, outside of games, you can do without a gamepad altogether - almost all operations with the console can be performed using gestures and voice commands. The high-resolution camera perfectly recognizes people's faces even in the dark. Of particular note is Kinest's ability to detect heart rate, which is especially useful in conjunction with the Xbox Fitness sports app.

Linking third-party devices


The new generation gaming console from Microsoft can be linked to any third-party device (PC, or). In practice, it looks like this: by introducing the Xbox One to any application (browser, YouTube, social networks, etc.), all saves will be reflected on the other device.

Conclusion

Despite some shortcomings, we can safely say that the new Xbox One is certainly a success and is significantly superior to its predecessor (the Xbox 360 game console) in terms of technical parameters and social capabilities. The only drawback compared to the previous model is the higher cost of the console, so if you have just started to join the world of video games, and also do not want to spend money on games and overpay for better graphics, then it is better to opt for the Xbox 360 console.
