PlayStation 4 vs Xbox One

PS4 and Xbox One consoles, controllers, and and cameras

As the holiday season draws near the question of many of America's youth, is what to get for the holidays? For many youth, especially young males, there is a simple yet complicated answer, video games and consoles, as this has been an American tradition for the past few decades. Generations have come and gone, and this year we boldly look forward to the eight generation of games. Today games are more complex than ever with innovations like 3D gaming, motion sense, interactive multiplayer, etc. Amongst all these great occurences there is battle stirring in the gaming world for the hearts of young shoppers and their families. This holiday season Microsoft and Sony will be releasing their eight generations consoles the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. For the most part these two consoles are the same with some victories for Sony in a cheaper price difference, slightly better hardware, cheaper online network, and backward compatibility, the Xbox One also has some victories in its SmartGlass second screen option compared to the less high tech yet superb PS Vita second screen option for Sony. Despite all its similarities it seems to me, not only as a PlayStation fan, that the PS4 will win this battle this upcoming holiday season, as it is a hefty $100 less than its counterpart. However only time can tell so as one of America's game fanatics, I look forward to this holiday season.
