Microsoft only recently announced its Xbox One game console, and while we still don't actually know when exactly is the machine actually going to be available for purchase, we do now know what its games will look like. Or more accurately, we know what the boxes belonging to those games will look like.
Now that Xbox One has been announced, and naturally, immediate comparisons are already being drawn between it and the PlayStation 4 of Sony. Since we’re still a long way from seeing either of these two titans hit the market, it’s impossible to begin to compare the two up against each other in terms of performance, but taking into consideration the hardware specs of each, we can at least gauge a rough idea of how these two significant machines stand up to one another. Here, we’re going to use what information we already know to compare the hardware and features of each, and although this won’t be indicative of anything beyond mere reference, it does set the ball rolling.
Need for Speed, love it or loathe it, is one of the biggest racing franchises currently in circulation. It always sells well, regardless of platform and largely, regardless of reviews. In fact, the franchise is so popular it's even spawned its own movie tie-in, dubbed Need for Speed Movie, hoping to steal some of the limelight from the Fast & Furious movies.
The battle between Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One is already heating up nicely and we don't even have proper release dates for either of them yet! One area that it appeared that Sony's new machine may have the edge was support for the next standard in HD – Ultra HD. With Sony confirming that the PS4 will indeed support 4K Ultra HD for video only (no gaming!), all eyes were on Microsoft during its big Xbox One reveal, only for 4K to be conspicuous by its absence.
The dust may just be settling on the big Xbox One reveal earlier, but with everyone already asking when the console will be available and for how much, Microsoft has begun the pre-order process nice and early.
Having waxed lyrical about its special relationship with Microsoft at the company's Xbox One reveal earlier, Electronic Arts has just confirmed that one of its most highly successful franchises is set to get its very own Xbox One outing later this year.
Whew, time for us to catch our breath a little! Microsoft has finally dished out the details of its upcoming console, which is to be called the Xbox One, and if you want to know the what, where, when, and perhaps most importantly, how much, we've got all of the details coming up right after the break!
Microsoft's big Xbox Reveal event is finally here, and Don Mattrick took to the stage to announce the Redmond company's next-generation console effort: Xbox One. Laden in a glossy, black finish, Microsoft has really stepped up its design game with this one, and with a real focus on software innovation and interactive applications, the general user experience with the Xbox One looks enthralling at first glance.
