Now is the time of the biggest tech battle of the year. It has been a few years since the PS3 and the XBOX came out, and now is the time they get renewed. The question is which one is better?
Well to find that out, lets compare the specs (along with the Wii U specs)

Specs aside, these two next-gen consoles are beast! However the PS4 is $100 cheaper than the XBOX ONE and this has played a part in the sales. The PS4 has smashed the XBOX ONE pre-orders on Amazon and on many other retailers.
Well to find that out, lets compare the specs (along with the Wii U specs)

Also the PS4 has switched from free Online Gaming to paid. This is used by the PS+, Sony has had but was not very successful. This year, this may be a big thing as PS+ not only allows Online Gaming but discounts and free games from the PlayStation Store.
The launch date for the PS4 in the US is the 15th November 2013 and for the XBOX ONE it is 22nd November 2013 and worldwide. These days will be big for the world as these consoles aim to smash record sales. Certainly, they will.
