Tracks a larger room area
Gesture control is more versatile
Better in uneven or no light
Improved videochat
Microsoft's Xbox One offers impressive graphics and a solid list of exclusive 2015 titles. The Microsoft console currently edges ahead of the PS4 with a better selection of media apps. The console's fall-2015 dashboard update is a noticeable improvement

The editors didn't like
Kinect must be connected to console
Not built into one
Gesture control still a novelty to many
"Xbox
Go home" voice command
The Xbox One's new interface is still more convoluted than the PS4's. In general
The PS4 delivers slightly better installation times
Graphics and performance on cross-platform games. The Xbox One also lags behind the PS4 in its selection of indie games
The Xbox One's dashboard is still confusing at times and the PS4 generally delivers slightly better graphics and performance on multiplatform games so far. Selection of must-have titles is still weak compared to that of previous generation consoles
Menu system is an awkward mix of 360 and Windows 8
Space-hungry
Will not stand up on its end in ‘tower style'
Not compatible with Xbox 360 headsets
Some features currently missing for NZ users (voice commands
The Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch are both very different devices in many respects, so they're hard to easily compare. The Xbox is slightly cheaper, and offers most of the standard big budget videogames on some pretty powerful hardware, while the Switc...
For now, picking up the PS4 Pro looks like a pretty safe bet. It will most likely be cheaper than Microsoft's alternative, especially if you're hoping to take up VR as well. It may lag slightly in performance and power, but probably not enough for the ave...

Abstract: Microsoft just admitted the Xbox One will never catch up with the PlayStation 4. Xbox head Phil Spencer made the brutally honest admission in an interview with VideoGamer last week , but it only confirms what we already knew. “You know, I don't know. You...

The Xbox One is exactly what it says it is. It's a decent reliable next gen console that does everything as you would expect it to with no surprises. There are more and more exclusive games being made available and with the ability to play some Xbox 360...

Abstract: At the big Windows 10 event back in January, Microsoft revealed for the first time that in-home streaming is coming to Xbox One. Rolling out as part of the Windows 10 launch on 29 July, gamers will soon be able to stream Xbox One games to virtually any P...
Stunning graphics, Excellent interface, Kinect is great, Blu-ray support
Expensive, Small initial games catalogue
Should you buy an Xbox One or stick with your current console? That is the million dollar question, or rather the £430 question. As things stand, £430 is a lot of money, especially when the PS4 is cheaper and technically more powerful. Let's also not f...
