Website AnandTech has run two speed tests on the internet browsers on the Xbox One and PS4, revealing that the PS4’s browser is 2-5x faster than the Xbox One, at least in terms of JavaScript performance. Two tests were run on each browser, the first using the Sunspider benchmark suite which measures JavaScript performance, and the second using Kracken, a JavaScript performance benchmark created by Mozilla.
Microsoft’s Xbox One launches this Friday, November 22nd 2013, in North America and Europe, with the PS4 launching in Europe the following week, on November 29th 2013. German website PCGames.de has posted some photos comparing the size of the two consoles, showing just how different they are, but both sporting great designs.
A comparison video has been released by DigitalFoundry, comparing the PS4 and Xbox One version of upcoming title Battlefield 4. The video confirms that the PS4 version of he game runs at a resolution of 1600×900, while the Xbox One version is just 1280×720.
PlayStation Access has kindly done a comparison between the PS4 and the launch PS3 console, to show you exactly how the two compare in size and shape. It’s pretty obvious that the PS4 is much smaller than the PS3, but this video clearly shows just how great the difference is. Now, all we need is a comparison with the PS3 Slim and PS3 “Super” Slim models.
The re-designed PlayStation Store arrived in Europe next week and the following week in North America. Sony have made a significant amount of changes and improvements to make it easier for consumers to find the content they want. We’ve taken the existing PlayStation Store layout and compared it to the re-design to show you all the differences you can expect.
If you are unclear how the PlayStation Move compares with the Xbox 360 Kinect and Nintendo Wii, Sony has released a handy comparison chart to indicate the differences. In most categories, the PlayStation Move prevails as the clear leader but in terms of price, the difference is less clear (and missing from the comparison chart).
Now that Final Fantasy XIII has been out for a few weeks now, it was just a matter of time before a comparison video between the Xbox 360 version and PS3 version of the game would appear. We’ve found a short little video detailing the differences between the loading times for the two versions. The Xbox 360 version of the game is on three DVD discs, while the PS3 version is on a single dual-layer Blu-ray disc.
With the release of MAG just days away in Europe and the UK, most of you are probably wondering what has changed in the game since the last beta, which took place earlier this month. Luckily, Jeremy Dunham, Senior Community Manager for Zipper Interactive, has detailed the changes over on the PlayStation.Blog.
There have been a lot of comparison videos surfacing this week testing the loading speeds between the old PS3 and the new PS3 Slim. It’s pretty clear that the PS3 Slim is faster than the older model, and it’s not just because of the new Cell CPU. Other reasons include the updated Blu-Ray drive in the PS3 Slim and better hard disk performance. EuroGamer did some extensive tests to see how fast the PS3 Slim exactly is.
