There a number of reasons to get excited about the gaming industry in the next few months. Microsoft and Sony are on a collision course to rock the gamers' minds.
Brand new consoles are in the horizon. Specially-designed products add depth to an ever evolving gaming world.
Two of the best tech companies across the globe intend to upstage each other and gain an edge at the top spot. Here is an inside look into the items designed to support 4K and VR gaming processes.
Xbox One S is off to a great start as it offers dual functionality. Compared to the HDR-supported video and games of the PS4 Pro, Microsoft's flagship features separate approaches. It offers 4K for videos and HDR for gaming.
Even though both the Scorpio and the Pro have the same 8-core processors, it is likely that the extended launching period will favor Microsoft since adjusting to a more powerful chip can be done.
In terms of presenting an almost perfect imagery, the American tech group has the edge with its 6 TFLOPs over the Japanese company's technical manageability to cast a fitting 4K content.
The truth is, the PS4 introduces a sophisticated method of translating a 2x2 pixel into four times its equivalent which means that the original 1080p is converted to 2160p. Although the adjustment may be about 4K manipulation, the outcome is hardly noticeable. According to technically-driven Digital Foundry, the scaling process instills a precisely suited effect.
On the other hand, Xbox planning in charge Albert Penello shares that the One S 4K performance is about absolute 4K gaming presentation. Developers capitalize on using the available power to product effects on resolution or frame rate.
In contrast, the PS4 Pro's capability is enough to accommodate YouTube and Netflix streaming. The only difference is the absence of a 4K Blu-ray player.
Considering the different release timelines, gamers need to decide if they want to ride the excitement for the November launching of the PS4 Pro or hold out for next year's unveiling of the Scorpio.
