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.
Despite No Man Sky's rocky launch, Hello Games managed to turn it into one of the best space exploration RPGs out there.
I hate the whole concept of "comeback story" because at the end of the day it doesn't remove the core issue we had in the first place, that we were lied to, it was disappointing and it launched with bare content to what was promised for years.
Any bad game can have a comeback story if it's supported enough after launch but for me if you launch in a terrible state then you had your chance. I can applaud you for what you've done after but at the end of the day there's not much of a choice since most gamers would blank your next product if you ditched your last game so fast, it's not about repairing the game but spending your time repairing gamers trust before you launch your next product otherwise it would be dead on arrival.
With these stories and the games being updated, the only way is up most of the time so of course it's going to improve the game and feel better over all, getting better and better as time passes. No Mans Sky, Sea of Thieves, Fallout 76 etc but then you have games like Anthem, Suicide Squad, Redfall and The Avengers where the devs just clearly moved on, now if they have another product people won't be as exited for it, I mean hell Guardians of the Galaxy was a great game but because of the Avengers it didn't help its sales since people were obviously still sour at that point.
I still think despite the improvements to games like No Mans Sky and Cyberpunk along with being better now overall the games are still not up there to what was promised and hyped as for years.
If we keep celebrating these “comeback stories” then unfortunately it only strongly supports the concept that these studios / publishers can continue to push half arsed broken products out for the sake of quick sales instead of waiting until they are fully finished. We need to condemn this awful behaviour or sadly we lose all voice and power as consumers.
I really enjoyed it at launch and had every trophy by August 2016.
The experience I had is no longer in the game: It was just me and my ship. It was a survival game and the feeling of loneliness in the universe was pervasive. There was no way to ruin too far from your ship and, in an emergency, you grenaded a hole in the ground to survive.
I miss that aspect, but since then, I love what they've done.

Hollow Knight: Silksong’s new collectible that succeeds the popular Grubs has the potential to deepen the mysteries of the new world.
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.
