Playstation 4 Vs Xbox One: Which Shares Better?

Posted by timothy on from the which-paint-dries-fastest-let's-watch dept.

itwbennett writes "One of the new features that both Sony and Microsoft touted for their next-gen gaming consoles was easy sharing of gameplay videos. Peter Smith has put sharing to the test on both consoles, and (spoiler alert), found that both have plenty of room for improvement. There are pros and cons to each, but ultimately, which console does sharing best comes down to personal preference: 'I really hate that the Playstation 4 is limited to sharing on Facebook and I really like that the Xbox One saves to my Skydrive,' says Smith. 'But I hate having to wait for that upload to happen before I can go back to gaming.'"

      Uhhh..somebody that likes having actual control of their files instead of handing everything over to FB maybe?

      As for TFA the answer is....they BOTH SUCK, you should buy a PC instead. You can get a damned nice PC cheaper than ever, controllers? hundreds to pick from. Games? There is easily a dozen different places you can buy them and thanks to actual competition (a free market instead of a monopoly? What a concept!) prices have never been better and you can find sales all the time.

      Lets face it folks,even if you are a console fan the first year of a new console? Sucks. It takes them awhile to really get the hang of coding for a new system and just because these are X86 isn't gonna change that. So for the first 6-12 months the titles are gonna be rushed, buggy, and when folks look back on the top titles of that system it ain't the launch titles that get mentioned. So grab yourself a cheap AMD quad or hexacore along with one of those nice cheap HD77xx cards, slap on the OS of your choice and get your game on. Hell don't want to build one? Your friendly neighborhood fixit shop guys like me are more than happy to put your kits together. So go grab one of those quad kits or Hexacores, slap in a card and get to gaming!

  2. PS4 is better for Sharing Your Drunk, Naked Wife by Jah-Wren+Ryel · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Forget about sharing gaming videos.

    What really matters is which one is better for sharing video of your drunk naked wife.
