The PS4 is an absolute powerhouse of gaming hardware, and the latest version of the PS4 just blew the doors off of many console gamers. It is a must-own, and I can’t wait for the new consoles to come out.
Even though PS4s are the latest thing, it is still the hardware that has created some of the most heated debates in recent memory about the relative value of Blu-Ray vs. the new 4K gaming experience. Because the PS4 has a Blu-Ray player (which is also an incredibly capable piece of hardware), many have argued that it is a better option for a new home. But that’s only half the story.
If you have a Blu-Ray player and a 4K TV, then there is a new console option. If you have both, the options are much wider. The Xbox One has an HDMI output, so it can output games to your TV as well. The Xbox 360 also has this capability, but only if you have a 4K TV. The best thing about the Xbox One and 360 is that they both support USB, so you can play your old games on your TV.
The Xbox One can also play Blu-Ray discs. And if you have an Xbox 360, the PS4 can play Blu-Ray discs. All of this means you can get your games onto your TV for as long as you want, and when you’re done playing you can delete them and still have the games on your hard drive. All of this makes the Xbox One and 360 the perfect console for new owners.
Sony has had the best track record with the PlayStation 4 since the system debuted. But while the PS4 is designed to work with a number of different game types, it’s only optimized for those that can play on the PS3.
That brings up a really good point: the PS4 is designed to work with the PS3, not the other way around. You can play the PS4 using any compatible ps3 controller, but it will only play games that are compatible with the PS3. This is a problem for the Xbox One, because if you want to play some games you have to connect the Xbox One to a PS3 as well.
It is a good thing the PS4 doesn’t play any games that you can’t play on a PS3, because it doesn’t make sense to have to buy a separate Xbox One just for games that you can play on PS3.
The PS4’s backwards compatibility is a good thing because it means we can now play all sorts of games on the PS4 that we can’t play on the PS3. It’s a good thing that the PS4 can play games that are only playable on PS3, but it’s a real pain for gamers who want to play games that are only playable on the Xbox 360.
Not to mention the fact that if you bought the PS3, you got the first gen game disc, the second gen game disc, and a whole lot of other games. It’s not like you can just buy a new game disc and put it on the PS3 and be done with it.
But then you get the idea. The Xbox 360 has all these “special” games, but there is no way to play them on the Xbox 3. So it comes down to this: If you want to play the first gen Xbox 360 games, you either have to buy the game disc that came with the Xbox 360, or you have to buy the second gen Xbox 360 game disc. For the first gen games, you have to buy the game disc.
