Now that some of the
most advanced gaming technology is finally being released, how do people see gaming
transitioning into the near future from here? The PS4 released on November 15th
and the Xbox One release on November 22nd, keeping the competition
between the two as close as the computer freaks that made them. Some of the
smartest people in the world put these machines together. I personally believe
in Bill Gates, Microsoft, and I had and Xbox before a PlayStation, I lied I
never had a PlayStation. So my fate was kind of set through my older brother,
however rarely did I play the original PlayStation at my friend’s house back in
the day. That being said I could never give into my opposition, a foreign built
machine out performing mine, unbelievable. And thus I have always backed Xbox
although there are some circumstances I can’t deny and will never admit to. So
I plan of laying out a simple comparison of the direction these machines are
headed. The Xbox One costs a staggering $499 compared to a PS4 $399, never before have I seen prices so high. The PS4
sold more than 1 million units within the first 24 hours, so the Xbox One has
quite the standard to meet. There is a difference in games between the two
because some games are only sold for one console, but some of these exclusively
sold games are beyond me. The Xbox One, Kinect equipped, can allow for game
playing simultaneously with television or a movie. The PS4 allows for streaming
from Hulu and Netflix. The true
comparison in gaming all comes from the conch (controller), without it there would be no
gaming. Xbox One run by AA and the PS4 still chargeable but only found to last
for 7-8 hours. I just know some of my friends more keen to gaming have all been
giddy this month in regards to releases.
Also it is obviously a brilliant and simple
strategy for anyone to see, great marketing of the release a few weeks before
black Friday. Get your release date sales, get a boost from black Friday, and
continue boosting through December for Christmas and I would say even to the
New Year. Some people overlook the simple things.
