The console wars is one that doesn't seem to have an end in sight. At some moments it can appear that one company has the upper hand on another or one company is just performing better than another. It used to be that Microsoft's Xbox 360 had the upper hand on Sony's PlayStation 3 in terms of sales and overall popularity but then came the 8th generation of consoles which ushered in a new era of gaming with the introduction of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. These consoles were both impressive machines that had a large catalog of games at their disposal.

But this isn't a review of The Last Of Us so get out from under the rock you've been and go experience it yourself. Between Uncharted for the Action/Adventure gamer, Gran Turismo or the not so great Driveclub for the gamer who enjoys the occasional racer to Horizon Zero Dawn for the Open World Role Playing type, PlayStation has the most diverse and consistent library of games. Whereas Microsoft's line of Xbox consoles have games mind you but none that have the same abilities as PlayStation to attract an audience into buying their consoles by having a great list of games to play. Which in turn will make the purchase worth it. The best way to describe what the benefit of each console is compared to one another to someone who maybe isn't very informed on these consoles would be to explain to them what the machines are made to do. Looking at how they are advertised to the public and the features both machines have, the best way to put it would be that the Xbox One is much more of an all in one machines, so media player, TV box and game system, whereas the PlayStation 4 is much more of a dedicated video game
Right now, it looks like PS4 is the most powerful console, but developers may well learn to exploit the Xbox One in new ways. It's unlikely you'll be making your buying decision on hardware specifications alone.
The interface for the Xbox one is excellent because of how organised it is. On the Xbox you can easily find your games, social media, and the store. The Xbox one when you go from one app to another you hear a nice calm whooshing sound that isn’t annoying or can get stuck in your head. That is the exact opposite with the Playstation the sound is a bloop it is very annoying and it can get stuck in your head.

As sales of Nintendo’s Wii and DS dominate the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and PlayStation Portable, respectively, the pressure continues to mount on Sony and Microsoft to move to the next level in the ongoing console wars. Sales of the Wii in 2008
“The PS4, for instance, has a larger and faster graphics processing unit than the Xbox One (its peak GPU shader throughput hits 1.84 teraflops per second while the Xbox One manages 1.31). Likewise, Sony's console has more advanced RAM (5500MHz GDDR5 versus the Xbox One's 2133MHz DDR3)” (Leaño). This allows the PS4 to run the games at just a hair higher quality. Not a big deal overall as the difference is not noticeable unless you put them side by side. On top of that, the One has a far more intuitive Operating System (OS) than the PS4. The OS on the One allows it to run apps in the background or use the snap feature on most apps to have it alongside your game or current window. How is this useful? First of all, you can use the snap feature to watch your favorite shows or have a GameFAQs page open on the side. Want to Skype your friends or play music in the background? No problem, because the Xbox can multitask and will leave those apps running back there! Your multitasking options are wide open and simpler than ever now that you can do it all without leaving the
The PS4 is much thinner and looks better than an Xbox One. I mean really who wants a huge gaming system anyways? Unlike the Xbox One the PS4 has the cooling vent on the back of the system, so if you need to anything on it you could without overheating it. Also unlike the Xbox the PS4’s USB ports are in the front like a normal gaming console. Now for the PS4’s UI, it’s a whole lot simpler and to me it’s much neater. The user interface has to distinct sections, lower half of the UI is the main menu where you can access recently used apps and games, the upper half is used for the systems tools and
Xbox has many more features than other consoles. In many different ways it can be cheaper than let's say the PS4. The Xbox is very easy to learn about how to use it.

Xbox also has many more games you can play right now! Also more are being added every day. There are so many reasons why Xbox is clearly better.
Like I said before, Sony sells more. Plus more people have faith in Sony. Xbox used to constantly break down and you would have to get a whole new console. This is if you play the Xbox for a long period of time, Ps3s you could play all night and they would run perfectly the next day. Some people have been loyal to the Playstation family, some switched from Xbox to Playstation. You would never see anybody switch from Playstation to Xbox, it’s highly uncommon. If you want a system you won’t waste your money on, you should really buy a

Global Video Game Console Industries must try to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage through innovation such as creating an upgraded version of the game every year or increase their on and off line presence to better satisfy their customers.

However, the biggest difference point of them is about hardware spares reparing service. In PS4, Sony Corparation has many branches in Thailand, so they will prepare an official spares for fixing peoples' PS4. Unlike PS4, Xbox One did not have an Official Store in Thailand. When the problem is occurred, people cannot contact the Official store for maintainig their XboxOne while Sony Coparation has an Official Seller and Official spares which can guarantee the the quality of service.
