PS4 vs. Xbox One: Console Specs

UPDATE: Correction at 4:23 mark. PS4 uses 8GB GDDR5 RAM (Unified). The Xbox One doesn't have Bluetooth 2.1, but uses Wi-Fi Direct to communicate with controllers. Sorry for the confusion!

From RAM to CPUs, we rundown the tech that's powering the games of the next-generation. Which console is best for you?

By far PS4 is more powerful even xbots know that.

RIP Xbots.

It still amazes me sometimes to think how far technology has come and how incredibly fast it's still changing. I remember being a little kid playing Super Mario thinking to myself "It can't possibly get any better than this".

[syk]

I have a dream, that one day all games can be played on the PC, xbox, and PS. Anyone else, have the same dream?

[rocksjoshua]

These consoles are completely even when it comes to specs! So all you fan boys that says "xbox is slow" can FINALLY shut up!

[TheSterlingArcher]

Wait, we don't know which is more more powerful? I'm pretty sure BF4, CoD Ghosts, and Dead Rising 3 all in 720p speak for themselves...To be quite objective, I don't see the Xbox One running games the like of KZ: SF at 1080p60

Am i the only one who likes the PS4 AND the Xbox One.

[sorooshusa]

obviously PS4 is a superior console, because its cheaper, lighter, smaller, and utilizes GDDR5 video ram. which brings me to my next point. Pay attention to the fact that the 8gig memory is not the same as the memory modules we are used to in PC world. That memory refers to the graphical memory that is GDDR5 versus xbox's GDDR3. that is a big difference in graphics my friend. if you are familiar with PC world and hardware technology you know that GDDR3 used to be the old gen video ram. nvidia and AMD have both been using GDDR5 since a few years ago, now you see how xbox has compromised graphics for more profit.

[obbydawl]

Are you all kidding me ? You call yourselves gamers when it comes down to which console has better specs. Man.. i thought it was all about the games not the fucking specs.

[MrMattyPlays]

Well done IGN. You are helping settle the issue by claiming the systems are EQUAL!

[roehon]

I'm getting a error watching this video >.< and I only get the error on this video wtf?

Xbox one for me. Looking forward to how microsoft integrates their cloud computing into future games, the rumble shock triggers on forza 5 being super awesome/responsive and the kinect/voice interface looking super slick and refined. Not too fussed about the 1080p upscaling on ghosts, still looks very pretty in comparison videos, and I'm hoping that it won't have the same frame rate issues as seen in playstation. In the future I'm assuming most if not all games will run native 1080p as game devs get better with the hardware and learn to squeeze more out of these next gens.

[Ms-yx]

Made me feel better 7 years later thanks :D

[Telechampion]

Xbone can't even run CoD in 1080p, just imagine how games that will come out in 3-4 years will look like!

[scott]

makes me laugh every time i hear blue-ray is in xbox, meaning Sony is making money off xbox.

[getyodomerocked]

I tried out the xbox one and ps4 yesterday. And Id say the two controllers are on an even playing field now. I used to hate the dualshock 3, but the dualshock 4 is an huge improvement. Imo i think the ps4 controller is more comfortable than the Xbones. But the Xbone controller is really nice also.

PS4 just a little better but $100 cheaper!

Why is everyone so bothered about what anyone else wants to buy? Just buy the one you want and then be happy.
