TechRadar writes: The launches of Xbox One and PS4 are a few short months away, as both consoles are about to go toe-to-toe this holiday season.
Gamers are putting their pre-order money down as if it's an expensive bet on which video game system will deliver the best performance over the next decade.
Both systems are evenly matched in many respects and should be able to usher in the next generation of gaming that the Wii U hasn't been able to deliver.
With E3 2013 in the books, we can finally get a better perspective as in a PS4 vs Xbox One comparison about their finer differences.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
Xbox wins hands down. It has more exclusives, better exclusives, every Xbox is a dev kit, 300k servers, the azure cloud, a ton more features, and kinect.
Meanwhile, PS4 has zero main advantages over X1, only a SLIGHT advantage in specs that will probably show a subtle difference 6 years from now on a first party title if you're lucky.
To each his own, but every time I see a post or an article saying they choose PS4 it's always the same "well last gen Sony had more exclusives so this gen they will too". News flash: MS has 1 billion invested in exclusives and more games in development than ever before.
@Maria
Show me a source that says GDDR5 ram is twice as powerful as DDR3 ram, not bandwidth of CPU. Faster ram =/= twice as powerful. Remember when PS4 was thought to have 7gb of ram for gaming vs x1's 5, and all the ps4 fans were claiming PS4 had a 50% advantage? With your theory, the PS4 used to have the equivalent of 14gb of DDR3 ram, which is not the 50% you fanboys were bragging about, if you know math then that's almost 300% more powerful! Yet fanboys were bragging about only 50%? Go figure.
Unlike the first comment (which I should have realised something like that would immediately hit the page) I am going to say a reason why I posted this. It doesn't say which is better overall but gives a full rundown on what to expect in a comparison yet unbiased way. Which is what these articles should be doing
I'm going to list what I think/know is better in each system I will use references from the history of both Playstation and Microsoft for this. And I prepare for stealth disagrees but here I go.
# of exclusives (first year)
Microsoft 15
Sony 20 (point goes to Sony)
Quality of exclusives
Both have quality exclusives both Sony has way more goty contenders/winners than Xbox (fact) so point goes to Sony
Specs
Both have their advantages and disadvantages but facts are facts (from what we know) point goes to Sony
Online platform
We don't know how well the new psn will be so going off last gen Microsoft wins that one so point Microsoft
Psn value/ xbl value
Not even comparable psn wins that hands down
Features
Both have very similar features with both systems doing one thing better than another so point too both of them. But an extra point for kinect for Xbox
Price
Point Sony
Controllers (all opinion) so point to both
Total score
Sony 7
Microsoft 4
both consoles will be great and we will have many great gaming moments, u can't miss halo, gears of war, killzone or a naughty dog game. Period
and btw i wish there's a splinet cell black list nextgen versions that match pc's gfx, game do look AWESOME
The one that plays the games you want to play.
