Next generation of gaming console technology arrives
JAMES HOYT/KANSAN

It has been seven years since the release of the Playstation 3 and eight years since the release of the Xbox 360. Now it is finally time for the release of the next-generation gaming consoles, the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. With the PS4 released on Nov. 15, and the Xbox One to be released on Friday, it is time to decide what system provides the better, and more suitable features to a gamer's individual liking.
PLAYSTATION 4
Lawrence retailers started carrying the PS4 last week and there are a handful of students who already have their hands on the future of video games. As Sony's follow-up to the Playstation 3, the system now provides gamers with a 8-core x86-10 AMD Jaguar CPU processor for better graphics and gameplay than its predecessor, as well as a sufficient list of 16 games that were available at its launch.
One University student stood in line at the GameStop on 33rd and Iowa Street, and discussed why he chose to get the PS4 over the Xbox One, claiming that both systems will be satisfactory for any gamer, no matter what system they choose to get.
"They're both great systems, and the Playstation 4 was easier to get and not have to worry about the stress of trying to find an Xbox over the holidays when everyone is fighting to get one," said Mitchell Mollica, a sophomore from Colorado Springs, Colo. "And the chance came up to get a PS4 so I hopped on it."
One University student is expecting an Xbox One on its release date, and said that he is pleased with his choice in purchasing the Xbox One over the PS4.
"I'm getting the Xbox One because I've enjoyed the Xbox 360 and because Xbox has always been better than Playstation," said Michael Esry, a senior from Lee's Summit, Mo. "Their online network is more reliable, and they have a more widespread option of game types like Halo, which is a top first-person shooter—Battlefield has always been good on it. They run a lot more sports games, just as far as soccer, racing and basketball go."
XBOX ONE
But what about Microsoft's contribution to next-generation gaming? Running for a price of $100 more, the Xbox One comes equipped with its own camera known as Kinect alongside voice commands to navigate quickly through apps, launch games, even Skype with a friend from his or her living room. Equipped with an 8-core AMD custom Microsoft CPU the Xbox One will deliver graphics that are around the same caliber as the PS4.
Xbox One has an array of 25 games that are available for play.
With next-generation consoles, the biggest difference between these consoles and the previous generation is the graphics. Mollica believes that the PS4 will have better graphics because it is rumored that the Xbox One will be more entertainment-oriented and focus on features other than gaming, whereas the PS4 is regarded more as a console for just gaming.

PS4
Another University student says that he has slowly paid for the prices of both the Xbox One and the PS4, but is still a little apprehensive towards some of the decisions that Microsoft has made with their Xbox One.
"I am an Xbox guy, I always have been," said Adam Phillips, a sophomore from Lawrence. "But I have to admit that Sony has the better system this time around. They just had longer to prepare. Xbox is still working out the kinks, and I'm still a little apprehensive about what this first wave of Xbox Ones is going to be like."
