GOOD One of Microsoft's Xbox
offers stunning graphics and can integrate and control live TV with Kinect
(which increases the price US $ 100). The Xbox One has a better group of
exclusive games for 2015 compared to the PS4. Xbox Live Gold is no longer required
for most streaming basic apps and games sync and Microsoft console has a small
selection of my best content that the PS4 at this time.
THE BAD The Xbox One interface is
not as smooth as the PS4. Kinect integration with live TV is full of
frustrations: the Kinect voice commands do not always work and the system lacks
the full integration of DVR. Overall, PS4 offers better installation time,
multiplatform graphics and performance in games so far. Xbox One is also behind
the PS4 in selecting games 'indies'.
CONCLUSION While the PS4 is
still, in general, our preferred choice of the battle of new consoles -
including a nice price reduction by the parties - make it a better deal so far,
and is a much better offer when it first debuted.
it's been a year since Microsoft
and Sony unveiled their new consoles, the Xbox One and PS4, which means it's
time to reassess their place in the market. What's new? What has changed? And
of course, what exclusive games are available or coming up in each console?
Undoubtedly, the Xbox One has
gone through the biggest metamorphosis between the two consoles since its
release last November. Even before its release, Microsoft had begun to change
the philosophy messaging platform, going from a console that largely relied on
DRM to an experience where owners can exchange and used to play video games.
That happened after the end of "tax" Xbox Live - the Gold membership
is not required for basic streaming content - and the separation of Kinect as a
mandatory accessory system. (The Xbox One without Kinect is now the base of the
console version).
Meanwhile, much it has been put
under the hood of Xbox One - especially the functionality of the firmware,
which from the point of performance, remains in second position after the fluid
interface of Sony. The Xbox One board is still dotted with frustrations,
whether from a lack of transparency or simply functional ineptitude - but more
on that later.
When the Xbox One and PS4 made
their debut, we recommend waiting to buy one for platforms to ripen. The
evolution finally started to mature and will only become better as looming
2015. With this in mind, we now think that the Xbox One and Ps4 are ready to
reach your room. But which one? To be clear, both consoles are very similar.
Both offer a growing library of games - some important as Call of Duty,
Assassin's Creed and Madden, as well as new titles like Destiny. And both also
work as entertainment systems, with built-in Blu-ray and streaming services
like Netflix, YouTube and Hulu Plus.
In our opinion, the PS4 continues
to lead the way, with a little more fluidity in the game and a simpler
interface. But Xbox ecosystem offers a bit more mature apps (has HBO Go, which,
for example, is not yet on the PS4) and a decent list of exclusive games. For
those who prefer the Microsoft platform and have waited bought the new Xbox
One, discounts make it the right time to buy. (Just make sure you give it a
chance to PS4 and Wii U first).

Positive aspects of the Xbox One
These are the areas where the
Xbox One stands out --- and where occasionally is ahead to PS4.
Apps content
The Xbox One has the best online
streaming apps by any other console. It has almost twice the number that offers
the PS4. Some notable gains include Comedy Central, Fox and FX Now, HBO Go,
MTV, Redbox, Starz, TED, USA Now, Verizon FiOS TV, YouTube and others.
The video calling service
Microsoft, Skype, is also exclusive to the Xbox One.
Playing Content
Xbox One has a content playback
app that plays almost any format to put it, something the PS4 can not boast.
For now, the PS4 allows playback of music files from a USB memory only, while
the Xbox One can play files directly from the hard disk or any available drive
on your home network, like other PCs or NAS.
The app content Xbox One also
allows you to customize the board with a personalized photo as wallpaper.
Advantages of Kinect
Kinect is an ambitious attempt to
integrate voice control and movement with live television, the navigation
interface and sometimes elements of videogames.
When it works, Kinect brings
surprise when a science fiction movie. Kinect lets you change channels, control
volume and other items with your voice only. However, it has problems which
mentioned later in this analysis.
Other functions of the Xbox
experience One can access or activate with your hand gestures or voice
commands. You can say "Xbox, record that," and the console will
record the last seconds of the game on the hard disk. Learn more voice commands
in Spanish the Xbox One here.
Of course, the Kinect is
available only in the most expensive package. However, if you purchase the Xbox
basis (without Kinect) and decide to upgrade later, you can buy the Kinect unit
for US $ 149 (usually comes with a game).
Controlling Xbox One
Although not necessarily
something I would call a stellar improvement over device entries, control of
Xbox One is solid and above all comfortable. Microsoft has completely renovated
the problematic present d-pad on the Xbox 360 and opted for a touch pad. The
battery life is impressive in control, but uses two AA batteries instead of a
rechargeable battery that offers the DualShock 4 PS4. (You can use your own
rechargeable AA batteries or purchase the Microsoft Play and Charge Kit is
priced at US $ 25).
Your own storage via USB 3.0
PS4 offers an affordable and easy
way to replace the hard drive but the hard drive of Xbox One is something that
is better not to touch. However, a recent firmware update allows users to add
their own external storage via external hard drive USB 3.0 connection. And
because of that USB 3.0 offers faster than the Xbox One internal disk, you may
be able to receive better performance as well. Just make sure your external
drive is 250GB or greater.
Synchronized engraving cloud gaming
Enter any Xbox One will give you
access to all digital phones and the respective save games. PS4 PlayStation
Plus need to take up games to the cloud, while owners of Xbox One can do
without Xbox Live Gold.
Gold is no longer required for virtually all
It took a while, but the status
of Xbox Live Gold is no longer necessary to access apps like Netflix and Skype.
You still need to play multiplayer online, but the massive restrictions in
other functions have been mostly removed.
Always On
While the role of always being on
the Xbox One has been a point of contention, directly jumping to a game while
you watch TV or do other things on the Xbox One and when you re-enter a game
session is resurrected with no time load. Of course, if you do not use your Xbox
One to watch live TV, there is no reason to keep the console turned on all the
time and not Needless to say we would save money.
Games and exclusive content
Microsoft ensures a high number
of exclusive agreements with third-party games like Call of Duty franchise, and
titles like Evolve. Occasionally, games do better on Xbox One, as seems to
happen with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
Xbox One also have a number of
franchises including Forza, Halo, Fable and now Sunset Overdrive and Titalfall
series.
