PS4 vs Xbox One Specs, Graphic & Pre-Orders: CDs Will Only Work On Xbox One, Not PlayStation 4
Microsoft wants to make sure your Xbox One will cater to all of the different kinds of technology in your living room -- even the dusty old CDs. The Playstation 4, surprisingly, will not.
The Xbox One will allow users to play CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays, while the PS4 cannot even play CDs but only DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. Xbox One will also be compatible with DLNA.
The Xbox One will be released on Nov. 22, which is a full week after The Playstation 4 Nov. 15 release date. Furthermore, the Xbox One also costs more at $499 than the more budget-friendly PS4, which is going to be $100 cheaper. Analysts are predicting that Sony and Microsoft will ship around 2.5 million game consoles combined in the upcoming season.
Microsoft is hoping that keeping all of the customers happy by catering to them with things such as the CD drive will also lead to success in the future.
"Being built for the future is one of the principles that we had when we built the Xbox One," Xbox's Director of Product Planning Albert Penello said. "We want to build a system that preserved the best of console gaming, so that developers can write to the metal, they can continue to optimize, they can continue to build better looking games over time and also have this part of the system reserved for the future."
The rivalry between Sony and Microsoft to create the best video game console has continued to grow ever since the first Xbox came out to line up against the PS2. The Xbox 360 and PS3 then kept the competition alive in the years leading up to the Xbox One and PS4.
