FAQ for beginners- Choosing a game console

Many novice gamers sometime have a question, "Which console is better?"

The choice of console consists of many factors that we present below.
So let's start

1. How often will you play the console, is graphics important to you, or do not want to pay for the game?

Do you often go home? If you are regularly at work or with friends, then it makes no sense to lay out a lot of money for the console. You need to confine the past generation - Xbox 360 or PS3, Wii. For these consoles released a huge number of games and they can be downloaded for free (for stitched, cracked consoles). It is possible that with your busy schedule you will not be able to estimate even half of the coolest projects.

2. Graphics and hardware

If the first item does not suit you, then proceed to compare NextGen consoles:
We can talk a lot about this and therefore we will give real tests and technical characteristics of consoles.
Let's compare the main NextGen consoles, the 8th generation of consoles (Nextgen (nekstgen) - short for English Next generation, which means next generation in Russian.)
Take the current example:
there is a PS4 console. Suppose it represents a new generation of consoles. When the console went on sale, it was an order of magnitude better than the PS3 console, it had much more functionality and capabilities - more memory, more powerful processor, video card, etc. PS4 gives the NextGen console.
Over time, this console will no longer be something supernova and unusual, better designs will emerge, competitors, and then it will lose the NextGen prefix as the currentgen console will be considered (current generation).
And so it will happen all the time. Then comes the PS5 console, which will be even more powerful and even cooler than the PS4 and even cooler than the competitors, and then it will get the NextGen prefix.

Consider separately the Sony Playstation 4

Playstation 4
This is the basic model of the console. Despite the fact that it was released in 2013, the prefix has more than the actual "iron". In fact, this console is best seen in comparison with its other versions.

PS4 Slim
In terms of performance, this modification is no different from the standard modification: the processor, hard disk (500 GB), and the graphics processor are completely identical. However, the developers managed to reduce the dimensions of the console, which is its feature.
Advantages and disadvantages.
Benefits
Comparison and differences of PlayStation 4, Slim and Pro - which one to choose
Zoom
Weight: 2.1 kg (Slim) versus 2.8 kg (PS4 classic);
Size: 265 x 39 x 288 mm (Slim) and 275 x 53 x 305 (PS4).
Improved network settings for the Slim version (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth):
Low power consumption compared to the standard console version.
Disadvantages:
The model does not differ in performance from the classic version;
The slim version is more expensive than the standard PS4, but differs only in size.
Thus, PS4 Slim is an excellent choice for those who do not want the console to take up a lot of space and for those who often have to carry the console from one place to another.
PS4 Pro
This version of the console is designed for more "hardcore" users. Here, the developers have focused on the iron console. It became more powerful, there was support for 4K images.

Consider changing the filling. Sony increased the amount of RAM, increasing its performance by 23%. The processor clock speed was not left without attention either - it increased from 1.6 GHz to 2.13 GHz. The GPU has undergone great changes - the number has increased from 18 to 36, and its performance has reached 4.2 Teraflops, which is several times more than the classic PS4 and Slim.

Naturally, such changes have only benefited. The picture has become better: now “zamylennye” game objects are much less common. And in games, where the other two versions of the console gave 30-40 FPS (frame rate per second), PS4 Pro easily yields all 60 FPS.

However, this was not without flaws. The most important of them is the support for 4K images. It would seem that the opposite is only a plus console, but everything is not so simple. The fact is that this requires a TV that supports this image. Without its acquisition, there will be little meaning from the Pro version, since in this case the graphics will not differ from the other two versions of the console.

Also, the Pro version is slightly larger in size than the classic and Slim versions.

Conclusion

What console did you choose?
This question can only be answered assuming your own capabilities, but it should be borne in mind that buying a PlayStation 4 is a solution for several years ahead and should be approached with less savings than we would like.
After examining all versions of the console, we can conclude that the classic PS4 is suitable for those who are not important maximum performance, or increased compactness. If you do not care about the size of the console, or ultra-graphics, and you just want to enjoy your favorite games - the classic PS4 will be a great choice.

You do not have much space under the console at home, or do you just want to save it? Do you want to take the console with you to travel or to a party with friends? In this case, PS4 Slim is perfect for your desires.

And if you are a hardcore gamer, and you want to play games with the best graphics options and are ready to buy a 4K TV, or you already have one, feel free to take PS4 Pro

Consider separately the Xbox One

Comparative table of characteristics of all versions of Xbox One

We read the comparison

Xbox one s
Unlike the standard Xbox One, S-modification has become smaller in size, but this is not the most important difference. The graphics processor console has undergone some changes. The developers managed to increase its clock frequency, which gave a small increase in the frame rate per second (FPS). Due to this, players are less likely to encounter "zamylennyh" game objects.

Support for 4K HDR has also become a good feature of the console. It is worth noting that the 4K image is available only for the use of online broadcast services (for example, Netflix). However, HDR technology can be used in games.

Colors and shadows in games with HDR become deeper and richer. Also adjust the image on the TV has become much easier. The console itself can set up your TV without forcing you to understand how to activate this mode.

Despite the above advantages, the console was not without flaws. This is, first of all, dependence on the TV model. In other words, not all TVs support 4K or HDR images, so to use all the features of the console you will have to think about replacing the TV.
Xbox one x

The developers decided to make this model truly powerful by significantly updating its hardware. Microsoft managed to equip the console with the following technical parameters:

12 GB of RAM;
Eight-core processor with a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz;
The updated graphics processor with a clock frequency of 1.1 GHz.
Like the Xbox One S, this model of the console has the ability to play video in 4K format, which makes watching movies and TV shows even more enjoyable, and you can also run games with HDR technology.

Thanks to all the above innovations, the console has reached unprecedented performance. In all games, the quality of graphics has increased so much that all objects seem even more realistic than on other versions of Xbox One. Also nice and the fact that all games that are not exclusive to the Xbox One X, work at 60 FPS.

Players can be pleased with the fact that Xbox One X will be able to run games that went on Xbox One and One S. Therefore, do not be afraid that you have to re-buy your favorite game. Also, all progress in the games will continue.

Perhaps the main disadvantage is the price and, as in the example of the Xbox One S, the impact of the TV model on the unlocking potential of 4K and HDR technologies.

Conclusion

Which model to choose?

After reviewing the features of both consoles, you can summarize. Xbox One S will be an excellent choice for those who just want to play their favorite games without thinking about the high graphic parameters. Despite the fact that the quality of graphics on this model is a little behind the One X, it does not make it worse. The probability of FPS drawdowns is extremely low, and the console’s “stuffing” is capable of launching the newest games without any difficulty.

Moreover, if you have a TV with HDR support, you will be more than satisfied with the graphics.

Like the Xbox One X, the Model One S also has support for all the games that went on the Xbox One.

If you like to play games with the highest quality graphics, and you are ready to pay for it, then Xbox One X is definitely your choice. You are guaranteed to be satisfied with a realistic and smooth picture.

3) Having considered the technical and graphic part, it is worth noting both Exclusive and AAA games

Here it is worth looking at the games released on one prefix or another.here the choice is yours

4) Subscription with consoles is also different.

What features does the PlayStation Plus offer?

• Every month you will receive six free games, two for each platform (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita).
  
• Discounts for certain games. This is mainly an indie game, but for international holidays you usually get a lot of interesting things. The size of the discount on the game varies from 10 to 50 percent.
  
• Ability to play the full version of the game for 1 hour.
  
• The ability to play exclusive demo versions of games. Access to beta testing of the game.
  
• Auto update console content. Some features are available without subscription.
  
• A large number of exclusive for PS + themes and avatars for the profile.
  
• 10 gigabytes of network storage for your achievements, save the gameplay and so on.
  
• The main feature offered by the PS Plus subscription is a multiplayer / online game. This feature is relevant only for the PlayStation 4.
  
• Share Play - a game with your friends on the network, but in one game. For example, you are playing a game where you can play together. You through Share Play transfer control of the second joystick to your friend who is sitting at home. The game is streaming to him on the PlayStation.
  
• Vote for the game - Sony gives a vote for the game, which will be available by subscription. At the end of the month, the winner is determined by the game, which the players will receive.

Every month you will receive 6 games for consoles (2 for each model of consoles), which pays for a one-year subscription immediately. Having bought a subscription for 3199 rubles, I received more than 3,000 rubles games in December, is this not happiness? Subscription is required, because it will save you a lot of money, as well as open up new opportunities!

5) Active games

If you are a fan of active activities, then you need a Wii or its advanced version - Wii U. With such a prefix you will jump in front of the screen - this is what is required from the user. Also for these consoles are released third-party accessories that allow you to engage in fitness and other activities. However, you will have to come to terms with low graphics - in this respect, the console is seriously inferior to its competitors from Microsoft and Sony.

You should also focus on how to use the console. Many are beginning to forget about this, but the product from Sony can be used as a Blu-ray player. If you still do not have such a device, then the choice is obvious? Not really, support for the appropriate format has acquired Xbox One. Therefore, movie lovers can not instantly make a choice in the direction of a particular console. And if you want to use the device to watch movies - do not forget to purchase a remote control, as you will not find it in the kit.

A friend, I own the XBOX360 for a couple of years and took WiiUshka a couple of days ago. These consoles are like heaven and earth. VIUshka brought me back to childhood, I myself am a 30 year old man. but it is not possible to break away from Mario and Zelda, she clings to her soul and does not let go. For children, the fact is that violence in games cannot be found in practice. Well, for adults there are games like Zombie and Batman with DeuxIx. In zombies drove, cool thing! I also liked it very much because of the pad with the screen, very cool. Yes, the pad dies pretty quickly, but for a couple of hours lying on the sofa and the games on the small screen and for another 3 hours in front of the telly it was enough. Well, I think for one day the game of norms. And so you can connect and play with it. The BOX is slightly different, but you will not get bored with kinekts too. With friends for beer, sometimes you will rock up, that the muscles for 3 days then everyone hurt))) Well, also a box that is sewn and the games he wrote on balvankas. With WiiYushka in Wii mode there is a crack, I am looking for a disk now for this. and then the prices of the games bite, but the hits are not sorry. And so we will then drive into toys from Wii as I break. Another beauty of Wii is that no subscription to gold and others is needed in order to play with the people on the grid. Here's a dude yesterday from Spain did in Bowling, raised the rating of Russia in the sporting industry)))) I will not say anything about the curling, I rarely came across. But it seems to me already for serious gamers, the games are a little more serious. Sorry for the many letters, there will be questions - ask: thank_you:

According to rumors, the PS4 system is based on FreBSD, and the Xbox One is a stripped down Win 8 for multimedia features plus its own gaming system. In the near future, the hacking of some of these consoles is not likely to be expected.
If the prefix is ​​needed exclusively for games, then it is better to stay on PS4, since its graphics hardware is more powerful than that of the Xbox One with the other equals. If multimedia features are also needed - then definitely Xbox One. There is Skype, the ability to connect a set-top box through the console, the Kinect 2 comes bundled, allowing you to control the console with movements and voice, etc.
Most likely there will be no developing games in both consoles. If it is of interest in developing games, I would advise you to connect your PC to TV, take a wireless keyboard, mouse, joystick and enjoy playing PC games.

Yes, ps 4 is cheaper than xbox one and about the design of the same thing for ps bsche

Mr.Doors,
It is interesting to read on ViiYu for more details: games, hacking, integration with home media, etc.

Better to take the XBox with a set of Kinect + 2 games in the package and 10 pre-installed games + 3 Months XBox Live Gold (Gold Card)
Kinect is a great sensor. He can take you into the game. For example, here is a game that was in the Disney Land box - after starting the game and launching the Kinect sensor, you will need to shake your hand and that's it. There you can, with a certain range of arms, hug, etc. But in the game Kinect Sports you can also play boxing or olympiad !!! All your jumps will also be transferred to the game, but if you wave your hands and you have at least 100 fans (given at 1 places in sports), they will start clapping and screaming back to you !!! You can also have a pet, become a superhero, etc. Watch the video on the Internet about XBox + Kinect sure you will like it.

It is also possible to control the main screen via Kinect (even the browser can be subdued!: Lol :) There is a large store that works via Wi-fi or wired internet! (What you actually have) There you can download games even cooler and there are free games!

I want to talk at the end about the coolest game - Kung-Fu High , (forgot the name, then if you need to clarify) there if you throw something (a disposable plate?) Into the monster, it will get into it! Also there you need to take pictures for comics (Very cool it turns out!)

it's the other way around as Kinekt xbox360, because they do not hold sticks.

DemonikD,
watched the video carefully? In the beginning, the instructions for the Wii joysticks are shown ... and it was the second part of this game that was only on the Wii (read onWikipedia) ... on the Xbox360 there were other parts (for whom it is necessary - google what parts exactly)

[vladik1978]

but I bought the same family and myself wii.nova, along with 3 games cost 3500 p. I made a softmod the same day, and after downloading and transferring 50 must have games to a portable hard drive, which will be enough for us for a year or two, at least. for them, a light gun, a classic joystick, fighting gloves, a component cable and a steering wheel for Mario Kart. I ordered the Balance Board for Wii Fit on the ozone board for 1500 rubles. All the fun came out at 8500 rubles. -)

[princelucifer]

If the masterpieces are exclusives and beautiful games with a deep philosophy that are perfect for children, then the PS3. Or they can give inspiration to those who, for example, are engaged in an art school or some similar activity, which is unlikely at preschool age. On PS4 there is Knack, Trine 2, but this does not directly apply to developing and teaching, if only children themselves will draw conclusions for themselves, i.e. These are just games suitable for children.

[DemonikD]

new, together with 3 games cost 3500 r

Can be in BOS, where such prices?

[DJ]

Personally, I am for the Xbox 360 from the past generation and for the ps4 from the new, this is my personal opinion :-) the xbox has a plus for kinekt, for children it’s better not! And adults often play ;-)

[player.1]

I will support the previous speaker. but there are comments on the kinekt. In a small room, playing is not very convenient. Kinektu need at least 3.5 m of space in front of the screen. but in general, it was possible to get pleasure. especially the rabbits are funny. About wii, the prefix is ​​interesting, especially considering its complete hacking and current price. for someone who, for whatever reason, did not buy it in the past generation, I advise you to catch up and play at least in Zelda, Silent Hill Shutter Memoriz, Vario Shake World and Mario Geleksi

[Nik642014]

I like some vote for the Xbox 360, I do not argue that the wii is worse or PS each thing has pros and cons. As they say the taste and color, no friends. : thank_you:;)

[Saturday nick]

In my family Wii since 2011. Acquired in Germany. The softmod was performed with a disk (LEGO Batman) exploit. Not all games have been played yet, I don’t consider other consoles in principle. A plus Wii is absolute cracking without using a soldering iron.

[lomtik4life]

I did not have ps3, there is only Xbox and Wii. Somehow I don’t really like the box, the game-movies are good but after the Wii they are boring.
Yes, I played many games on these two consoles (yes, yes, pirate)
But in the future I think to buy wii u I wait until they break, in my region of the game faces too expensive pleasure
