Enough talking of the high level configuration details of Xbox one and PlayStation 4. No more hardware fights that raise your confusion instead of taking you out from the dilemma. We will take a look at these next gen. machines from a whole new view so that you can decide which is better for you and not like others telling you which is better overall.

But before moving ahead I want to clear two things, first if you really want to experience any of them you need to be ready to empty your pockets as they are similar to an AC where it's cost is not a problem but the monthly bill is totally exhausting. Cost of both the consoles are near about the cost of the latest iPhone but buying their games will make your pockets empty. Second, best graphics are rendered by Xbox one and even if you are a PlayStation fan deep in your heart you know the truth. Both are provided with 8GB of RAM but still Far cry 4 and GTA 5, the 2 master pieces saves faster on Xbox one. Both of them have 500 GB of storage space and also provides cloud storage so no difference but for Xbox one it is mandatory to install game before use so it takes more time in the starting and you cannot play your newly bought game directly so 500 GB of space will feel lesser than the same available for PlayStation but installing is what makes it faster while saving games. But Xbox one isn't good at everything as it is made my Microsoft which is anti-consumerist. You need to be online every time you use Xbox and Microsoft gives you a subscription of Xbox live and has increased its server to give you a really good multiplayer experience but it is so discomforting for Indian users and PlayStation doesn't need it. Also Microsoft charges you for used game that is if your friend owns a game than you need to buy the game after installing to play which is really heart breaking plus it comes region locked and PlayStation moves ahead.Both supports 1080p,4k and 3d plus 7.1 surround sound. If you have Windows phone than you can connect it to your Xbox for even a better experience to work as a second screen using smart glass. Both comes with a beautiful interface and Xbox works even better with a smart TV.

The last thing makes it even harder to decide"The exclusives". These are the games made only for a particular console and are not available for other consoles. "The last of us" and "uncharted" series are the best PlayStation exclusives and keeps us stick to PlayStation. But Xbox gives a full competition with "Halo" and "Forza" series exclusively available for Xbox one.

THE VERDICT

Now it's up to you to decide which criteria you would be adopting to get the best for yourself cause you deserve it and if your decision totally depends on the exclusive games available then it's also up to you, do you want a few but best games or just good but numerous games exclusively available for Xbox one.
