• Reasons for buying a PS4

By Ritesh Rana

The PS4 is an amazing system for those whose love for gaming and other gaming and entertainment purposes is deep. The PS4 is a very promising game console because it offers the individual many possibilities for gaming.

The PS4 has a excellent processor, which is a great improvement over the PS3. The PS4 has a 1.6GHz and a custom AMD 8-core CPU. This is 10% better processing then the other competing Consoles. The PS4 also has a sleek design and faster memory with its 1.84 teraflop GPU. This is truly next generation of gaming with speed and other aspects of the PS4 that blows away the competition.

The PS4 also makes it very easy for people to stream gaming via twitch, hitbox, youtube,and other networks. It is compatible with many different graphics cards, which helps the gamers that play on the PS4, by giving easy access to playing games and shows and other forms of entertainment.

The Sony development of the PS4 was performed in conjunction with gamers and in return for their input, gamers get the opportunity to play nice quality games. This cooperation exemplifies how well the PS4 runs and how well Sony’s customer satisfaction is with this system.

Graphics on the PS4 are worth taking a closer look at, even if you do not usually care how game graphics look. The PS4 runs on 1080p and it also has 30-60 fps. There is a real difference between this system and others on the market. It runs very smoothly and makes efficient use of processor and memory. The graphics render quickly and the memory loads and saves fast enough to continue the gamer’s enjoyment without interruption.

The PS4 is also cheaper than other systems. Learning a valuable lesson from the PS3 and the xbox 360 comparison before, where the playstation was significantly more money than the Microsoft product, the price for the PS4 is only $399. For all that this system has to offer, that is a bargain deal for a great system. The PS4 also has a nice controller design that is larger and more comforting than last Gen’s Dualshock 3 controller. The handles are larger and are more comfortable while playing during long session games.

It also brings interaction of a game to a whole new level because it carries a speaker in it which makes you more immersed into the game. The PS4 is truly a next Gen system and it is recommended to get this system if you are interested in buying a next Gen console to game on.

The one noticeable concern on this system is the controller battery life. Battery life seems to last only a few hours. However, this is an easy issue to work around or fix, and it does not change the value of this great system.

• Why to buy an Xbox One

By Pedro Jiminian-Cid

Xbox One runs on a AMD 8-core jaguar CPU Processor for fast streaming and its bulky design makes it durable. This design lets air circulate throughout the system for faster and more efficient cooling.

With the Xbox One gamers get a whole entertainment experience, rather than just a newer game console. Television and videos can instantly stream and music can easily be streamed as well through the very nice Microsoft Network. Plus, there are all the games anyone would ever want to play, so this system is like getting three in one.

This system also gives users the convenience of an HDMI input so other pieces of hardware can easily be used and switching between hardware is easy too. There are also exclusive games titles that are unavailable on any other gaming device such as Sunset Overdrive, Gears of War, and of course, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and many others.

The Xbox one runs on 720p it also comes with 30 to 60 frames per second. Xbox lets you store a lot of data in it it comes 500GB but it only lets you use 362GB because it uses the rest for its OS and other entertaining functions that comes along with it.

These factors make the Xbox One the best next Gen gaming system that we have been waiting for. The Xbox one was well worth the wait. It delivers the best next generation gaming experience and it surpasses its predecessors in all aspects. Xbox’s many functions takes gaming to the next level, with stunning graphics and smooth game play and easy to handle controls.

It is a system that everyone can enjoy at any age. Playing an Xbox One makes the gamers feel like they are in the game, not just playing one. The visuals and sound quality, perform so well together, which is the mark of a truly great system.

• Reasons to buy a Wii U

By Oscar Perez

Running on a IBM-Power®- based multi-core processor, Nintendo has created a console that is family-friendly. Everybody and even their moms can use it. Graphics can go up 1080p, yet it still works well, even on an older, non-high definition television. Coming with 16GB internally, but with external USB hard drive for extra storage available, the Wii U gives the opportunity to get more storage if needed.

What sets the Wii U apart though is the Nintendo games. Exclusively for the Wii U, games like Super Smash Bros and Mario Kart, have been getting a lot of attention due to their fun and comical nature. The Wii U is becoming the system that everybody wants in their household.

Even though it may not be able to compete with Ps4 or Xbox One, on the sophistication of its hardware, it is a cheaper system that the whole family will enjoy. And honestly, do people want better games or better graphics? Mario, Zelda, and a host of other legendary game franchises are only available on this system.
