The Next-Gen Console Battle

10.25.13

     Its 2013 and the new consoles are fast approaching and people are FANBOYING like crazy. Here I will introduce straight facts. I am not gonna lie, I have a already preordered a PS4 and Battlefield 4 and its fully paid for, but i will try to be as unbiased as possible.

PS4   Xbox one Wii U

Release Date 11.15.2013 11.22.2013 11.18.2012
CPU x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" Single-chip custom processor  8 Core AMD  custom Tri-Core PowerPC "Espresso" CPU
Optical Drive Blu-ray/DVD Blu-ray/DVD 25GB Optical Disc (Proprietary)

The PS4 is obviously the better option here with a lower price and higher specs but the main variable for success is not the price, nor the specs, but the games that are available which we can not measure at the moment. But battlefield will be amazing... that I know.
