Gaming is in our blood just like the famous meme says: "The life is not a game but gaming is my life". It's not a secret that gaming consoles such as Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's PS4 are the no-brainer choices for gamers to have the best graphics experience. But as the time is passing, we are seeing new versions of both Xbox and PS4 and the importance of comparison and making the right choice has increased a lot.
It's 2018 and if we look in the market, Sony is trying to outsmart Microsoft but Microsoft is still one step ahead of Sony at the moment. Looking at the demand of comparison between Xbox and PlayStation, It seems like people want to select the console with best gaming experience otherwise if it was just the matter of cost, then there would be no such demand of this comparison. Though the price still matters!
If you're not living in the desert, you'd know that Microsoft has two different versions of Xbox: Xbox One X and Xbox One S. And because Sony is the competitor of Microsoft, so they did the same with PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim. Now with this minor differences in name, it is difficult for an average person to choose which one to buy and If you are also one of them, then let's learn the difference between them together.
Price Comparison Between Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro:
The price plays an important role in choosing from the options. For rich people, it might not play a significant role but for average people, this factor can the vital role.
According to Walmart, the Xbox One X is costing around $499. On the other hand, the PS4 Pro is costing around $399 in the same store. There's a difference of around $100 in both consoles' price.
Graphics Comparison Between Xbox One X vs PS4 Pro:
It was claimed in the early stages that Xbox One X provides better graphics but when the actual comparison was made between Windows 10, PS4 and Xbox One X, there was a minimal difference that didn't worth any kind of attention, to be honest. Who's going to scale the screen 1,000 times just to see the difference? At least gamers won't do that.
To be honest, I couldn't tell much difference in the graphics of both consoles.
Xbox One Exclusive Games Can Be Played On PC :
Well, what is the use of Xbox One or Xbox One X if you can play the same games on your PC? No thanks! Microsoft is making a big mistake, are they nuts to release the same game on PC with nearly same graphics? I think that's probably why most people prefer PS4 Pro instead of an Xbox One X. Also, PS4 has a much higher reputation and deals with major game publishers, and most of the times, the games release on both platforms at the same time and if there is no significant difference in graphics, then I won't suggest Xbox One to you.
To be honest, the first console I bought was Xbox and it was 8-10 years ago. We were confused whether we should buy PS2 or Xbox. The main reason of our hesitation was the number of games that were less for Xbox at that time but we chose Xbox due to the name of Microsoft. We enjoyed a lot but just after a year, we were bombarded with the news that new version of Xbox called "Xbox 360" is released and whoever has the previous version of Xbox is *ucked up!
Nowadays, the gaming console war continues and there are far more people who are confused what should they buy, just like I was confused 10 years ago with my first purchase. I hope this article will be helpful in deciding which one is best for you.
