PlayStation 4 is better than the XBOX ONE

For right now, I will type my arguments in this type of text. Also, last round, I said I would show the sources for my previous arguments; here they are: According to sources from DigitalFoundry, a source that does in-game framerate tests on various games, there were many cases that the PlayStation 4 had the inferior test in overall performance, while the Xbox One had the better test in performance, although the PS4 were running the games at full 1080p and the Xbox One at sub-1080p. Test 1 ("Assassin's Creed Unity falls short of the performance standard set by last year's Black Flag, featuring considerably more variable frame-rates under load on both consoles. Given the immense graphical upgrade on offer, this isn't so surprising, but what comes as a bit of a shock is that the Xbox One version frequently out-performs the PS4 game in more detail-rich areas, such as locations littered with NPCs in the packed Parisian streets. The opening clip in our video below perfectly demonstrates the difference between the two consoles. Wading through dozens of NPCs in a crowded square, performance drops down to around 20fps for a sustained duration on the PS4 while the Xbox One achieves a 5fps lead. In a later gameplay test traversing the rooftops, we see frame rates regularly fluctuate between 25-30fps across both consoles, but here the Xbox One game sticks more closely to the upper end of that spectrum than its Sony equivalent.") ~Digital Foundry (Assassin's Creed Unity) [https://www.youtube.com......] [http://www.eurogamer.net......] In case you"re not aware of the hardware of the two systems, the Xbox One has a slightly better APU than the PlayStation 4. That means it was able to handle more CPU-laborious situations, especially when there"s many NPCs on screen because the Xbox One"s slightly better APU was able to render the A.I. I"ll go further detail into both of the consoles" hardware later. Okay, yes, Assassin"s Creed Unity was a bad game from the get-go. The game was buggy and a bad game optimization-wise on every platform it came across. So, it can be argued that it was just "bad development." So, yeah, that might not be the best example. What about another example? Test 2 ("In the main, asset quality is identical between the two platforms. From the handling of shadow rendering to texture detail, there's little to distinguish the Xbox One release from the PS4. But based on the first three campaign levels we've analysed in-depth, the larger disparity is in PERFORMANCE rather than in-game visuals.") ~ Digital Foundry (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare) [https://www.youtube.com......] [http://www.eurogamer.net......] So, again here, the Xbox One was able to get the more "stable" version out of both versions. The Xbox One ran this game at fluctuating resolutions, which means that in intensive situations, the resolution drops down to 1440x1080p and it goes back to full HD when things calm down. The PS4 runs the game at full HD throughout the entire game. Yet, this game had the inferior testing in overall performance. But, maybe Sledgehammer Games was probably paid by Microsoft, which is an argument that most of these gamers use when they clearly see that the PS4 isn"t handling 1080p perfectly. What about another example? Test 3 ("Moving onto PS4, Evolve gains an advantage from delivering sharper native 1080p presentation compared to the Xbox One game, but right now this has some drawbacks when it comes down to performance in demanding scenes: frame-rates simply aren't as stable on Sony's console when the engine is under load, and this leads to more noticeable stuttering on the platform compared to Xbox One. The main issue here is that drops in performance are sustained for longer periods, and frame-rates often drop off more sharply too, which visibly draws attention to the variances in motion handling and controller response. Turns of the analogue stick feel heavy under these conditions and this makes it difficult to aim under pressure with a good degree of precision - something that can potentially turn the tide of the match. With Evolve currently in alpha mode, the developer must surely be aware of this issue and we hope to see it fixed in the final game.") ~Digital Foundry (Evolve) [http://www.eurogamer.net......] Test 4 ("Performance-wise, both consoles do a good job of delivering a stable, consistent frame-rate but it is the Xbox One version that delivers the smoothest experience overall. Frame-rate drops are extremely rare, only appearing in the most extreme circumstances - for all intents and purposes we're looking at a locked 30fps. Unfortunately, the higher resolution on PS4 comes with a catch in the form of noticeable performance dips during strenuous sequences. During a normal run of play, the game does a good job of maintaining the target frame-rate but frame-rate faltered sometimes during battle sequences and sometimes even traversal across the landscape.") ~Digital Foundry (Dragon Age: Inquisition) [http://www.eurogamer.net......] ______________ Contentions: {"A PlayStation 4 is better than an XBOX ONE because the controller is more superior and the charger for the PS4 doesn't have a huge power box that you have to drag around, just a simple cord."} Now, controller-wise, I have mixed feelings for the PS4's and Xbox One's controllers, since I am a PC guy as well. I'm more accustomed to the keyboard and mouse. That's just my thing. Now, in my opinion, I'm more used to the Xbox One controller because I have a history with the Xbox 360. I didn't have a PS3 back then. So, I'm a little more used to the Xbox controller than the PlayStation controller. I really don't have a preference for either controller because both of them are fine and I don't mind how big the Xbox One controller is because, regardless, I'm still enjoying my playing experience with the Xbox. Now, for charging, I'm assuming you use cables for charging your PS4 controllers. Now, I use charging stations. So, when I'm done, I simply put them in a charging station and it's doing its thing. Now, obviously, I won't have a preference for how these chargers because they do the exact same thing and they charge my controllers the exact same way. I mean, no offense, but I fail to see how a controller and how a charger for that controller justify your preference. I mean, I'm not saying your justifications aren't valid, I don't think those justifications are reasonable, at least in my perspective, because when do you ever hear anyone say "I'm going to buy a PlayStation 4 because it has a better controller and I like their chargers"? Maybe, you can explain how this justifies your preference in the next round. Maybe, you'll pull up some more arguments and justifications, that will answer my question and so on and so forth. I'm primarily concerned for the overall quality of the playing experience the system can bring to me and its features. {"The PS4 also has a user replaceable hard drive so that the user can have more space for his or her PS4. The XBOX ONE does not have a user replaceable hard drive. I do not have long contentions because I simply re-word everything I see."} Actually, you can replace the hard drive on an Xbox One too. It's just that it's really hard to do, much harder to do than on the PS4 side. It's really hard to the point where it's usually not even bothered with. [http://www.geek.com...] The other alternative to that is that you can purchase a USB that can have a lot of terabytes. I use a 3TB External Hard Drive for my Xbox One for $100. I don't mind using External Hard Drives. You can buy a 4TB HDD for $125 on Amazon, which is a great deal. [http://www.amazon.com...] The maximum you can get, I believe is 16TB, but nobody is going to buy that, since it costs $1400.
