Xbox One vs PlayStation 4 comparison

Joystiq made the effort to list various hardware specs that are known for PS4 and Xbox One at this point. And we thought it would be interesting to put what each console has to offer at this point next to the other one.

The PS4 image is a mock up of what was teased by Sony in a recent trailer.

Both consoles are targeted for later this year with Microsoft stating "this year" and Sony being a bit more cautious with "holiday 2013" - no price point has been announced for either console.

This is only a very sketchy look at what each console has to offer, but they appear to be comparable.

Exclusive games and content:

Xbox One
{Quantum Break}, {Forza Motorsport 5}. Exclusive (timed?) content for {Call of Duty: Ghosts}, {FIFA 14}, {EA Sports UFC} and others.

PlayStation 4
{Infamous: Second Son}, {Knack}, {Killzone: Shadow Fall}, {Driveclub}, {Diablo III}, {The Witness}, and others.

Both consoles are getting Destiny (some exclusive content announced for PlayStation), {Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}, {Call of Duty: Ghosts}, {Watch Dogs} - and others. We expect more information and lots of more titles to be revealed at E3. It is clear, however, that Microsoft opted out of revealing much of their first party line up - and perhaps we'll see more of these teased titles at E3.
