Microsoft and Sony had stealed the spotlight of this year E3 with the launched of the next gen consoles mainly Xbox One and PS4. Every year these 2 giant platformers had come out with so many interesting product to caught the attention of gamers. For this year E3 were no exception. In order to make the right decision, let us see what does Microsoft and Sony had in store for us.

It also offers 768 GPU cores, 1.23 TFLOPS of peak shader throughput, 32 Mb eSRAM for embedded memory and 102 GB/s embedded memory bandwidth.

During its launch at E3, Microsoft said that it is an all-in-one consoles comprising of new generation of games and entertainment. It is a new state-of-the art gaming consoles, a new generation TV and movie system. Xbox One delivers an entertainment experience with its innovative technology is rivaled only by its iconic design. Sharp corners and clean lines make for a sleek, modern console that complements any decor. Xbox One was designed from the ground up to be the centerpiece of every living room. The console places an increasing emphasis on entertainment and integration with the Kinect peripheral, offering the ability to use an existing set-top box to watch live television programming (augmented by an enhanced program guide with support for voice commands), a built-in Skype client, and improved second screen support. The console also provides new functionality for use in games, such as an expanded Xbox Live service, improved Kinect functionality, cloud computing, the ability to automatically record and share video highlights from gameplay, and integrated support for live streaming gameplay online.

Issues
During these platform launching, many positives, negatives as well as mixed reaction whether from the games devolopers and gamers regarding their design, software and hardware functionality, restriction on used games, backwards compatibility and connection to the internet and a a lot more issues had been discussed in gaming blogs and journals. During E3, Microsoft and Sony had answered mostly all the question and rumors during their press conference and also announcing the price for both consoles which become the turning point for gamers to choose which is better suited for them. I will discuss these issues in a later part of my review.
Making decision
Although there are many issues and rumours circulating the internet between these 2, objectively both have their advantages and weakness. For me, choosing between Xbox One and PS4, depends on your preferences. If your preferences is all about gaming, then PS4 is the right one for you. If you like series or watching your favorite movies in the living room, get the Xbox One. Both consoles have their own quality and it is up to you to manipulate the technology given to you. The power is in your hands. There is nothing wrong when choosing one consoles than the other, it's just about making a wise decision that is best and suited for you.
