PS4 more powerful than Xbox One?
According to the specs released by Microsoft, it appears the Xbox one is less powerful than Sony’s recently announced PlayStation 4.
The specs which include 8 gigs of ram appears to be outdated compared to the PS4. The Xbox One is using GDDR3 8 GB RAM while the PS4 is using the much faster GDD5 8 GB Ram.
Do you think the PS4 will perform better than the new Xbox? Only time will tell.

I will only find out when you are with the two consoles in hand.
Nothing about the Xbox reveal made go WOW! What a great gaming device. I must have it on day one.

And the score is XBOX 1 – PLAY STATION 4.
The ultimate media center vs the ultimate game console
Have both a Xbox and a PS3 so this is totally unbiased.
If you know anything about computers you would know that with the speeds that DDR3 performs at, we really are not going to notice much difference.

Well just like all multi-platform games they will round it off to the lowest common denominator. So really doesn't matter if I want true next gen build a PC. Otherwise PS4 and Xbox One seem like great buys to me.
Pensar que sony la anuncio primero y nunca la mostro, solo el dualshock y xbox muestra la consola en el primer evento que hizo, eso marca mucha diferencia, aunque despues al fin y al cabo las dos terminan siendo casi lo mismo.
This article is inaccurate. The xbox one has more active ram (8gb -7gb), the playstation 4 has a better processor and a better graphic card. Now let's see who has better games. If playstation can't make a better online experience then they will lose this round too.Each console has things they need to fix from the last generation, but considering we know what the system looks like I guess for now Xbox "Won."

Look up cloud computing in which xbox will use and then you'll know which one is better in the end, but I have both and will have both when they come out but instead of 2 ps3's and one xbox, it will shift the other way when the new ones come out plus I hate waiting a month for black ops expansion pack etc.
my pc itwice what the new xbox or ps4 will be already and i built it 2 years ago so needs upgrading soon
i got 16 GB gddr5 ram and 12 core i7 processor running at 4.7ghz
i got 16 GB gddr5 ram and 12 core i7 processor running at 4.7ghz
and i download all games for free
The world need more people like you
Damn dude… puttin all your work into this… (HEAVY GAMER)… but i dig your pc… you sellin for like $2000?
Actually us gamers will hardly notice any difference… its now just a battle for people to buy consoles… The systems are basically matched.
TWEET WHO YOU WANT TO WIN AND SEE GAMESPOT'S POLL: … FOR THE PS4 , you go to #GameSpotPS4 and for XBOX one… well, who cares? #GameSpot
come on all they compare is one spec. you can't tell from that by the way I am getting ps4 not xboxone.
i get than pc is more powerful but t=it cost a lot more ya free game blah blah ect.

Your post is inaccurate. You are saying the PS4 has 7GB of RAM because you are assuming it will use 1GB for it's operating system, yet you assume the XBOX ONE will use none of its RAM for its 3 OPERATING SYSTEMS!!!? Don't comment if you don't know what you are speaking about please.
This is GDDR3 vs GDDR5 there is a pretty big difference between those two.
Playstastion sucks xbox one ftw.
Ouch^^^
I do research on everything I post before I post it. Just because you assume I don't doesn't make it so. Look on site that are not shrines to Playstation and you may learn something, sweetheart. And it doesn't make a difference to me either way, I'm not a fanboy, I'll just end up buy both anyway.
It's a matter of few seconds in real world scenario, which warrants enough reason to go to ps4, i don't like xbox controller as i've never played with it. If i ever buy a console it's going to be ps4, but it's still not as good as PC, i hope consoles get mouse and keyboard compatibility.
Box fanboy, hear it from a guy like me who hates both consoles, from MY point of view, ps4 wins in hardware specs and in style(yet to be revealed) xbox one looks like some dvd player from 2000 with rigged front that i hate.
Haha stupid console gamers as usual u guys don't know anything about hardware in terms of ram ps4 is stripped down by Xbox that's right Xbox sports a multitasking ram ddr3 but ps4 doesn't have that instead it relays on gpu ram that's why gddr5 so u see Xbox has 8gb of multitasking ram + some amount of gddr5 ram which currently unknow as for processor also we have no idea but seeing kinect,exclusives,entertainment content Xbox smashes ps4 as for as now if ps 4 has beaten Xbox only with dual shock controller
1) Xbox one is DDR3 RAM , not GDDR3.
2) PS4 is GDDR5.
GDDR5 is based on DDR3 SDRAM memory which has double the data lines compared to DDR2 SDRAM. It is just a variant of DDR3 ram. System memory (DDR3) benefits from low latency (tight timings) at the expense of bandwidth, GDDR5's case is the opposite. Latency is not a big issue for Graphics cards compared to RAM for CPU and other things. Wait for benchmarks.
we still do not know the real world benchmarks here between both RAMs.
No, it is not. It is DDR3 vs GDDR5. GDDR5 is based on DDR3 RAM. GDDR3 and DDR3 are not the same.

If the XBOX ONE will have free online connection, Awesome graphics and better gaming maybe I will be better. But for now PlayStation 4 remains the best console ever.
DDR 3 is slower then GDDR5 http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/whats-the-difference-between-ddr3-memory-and-gddr5-memory.186408/

With the shit XBox is trying to pull anyone who sides with them has no dignity. They're being money grubbing whores.
wow, you are truly an idiot. Let me ask you this, all knowing game console guru who has known hardware all his life….then why oh why was DDR3 in the LAST generation of gaming consoles?
Oh and why, for the love of Pete, would the newest, most BA GPUs on the planet use DDR5 if it was so inferior to DDR3?
Please oh please do try to explain yourself with something more than Microsoft's seriously horrid 'reality distortion field' of explanations, because ever since I've heard from an xbox live rep that I can play Halo 4 on my PS3, I just have no respect for them or the people who pay $60/year to watch Hulu plus or browse the web. In retro-spect, how come PS+ is $50/year plus numerous FREE games? $10 cheaper with more perks? surely not.

I'm starting to feel just a bit like Simon Pegg in "hot fuzz"…………..in the regards that I appear to be the only person who hasn't just given into whatever that's causing such a severe upturn in the retard department.
I mean are you people seriously okay with this new xbox, pretty much being exactly what was rumored, which is an always-connected, anti-used games, underpowered "console".
Kinect REQUIRED? Along with the DVR, just how "cheap" is this going to be? If it turns out to be $650 and everyone in the US STILL buys it, then the painting will be on the wall for me. It's already unbearable enough to see the idiots (me being one of them before) paying $60/year just to browse the web, or use a service you ALREADY HAVE TO PAY FOR.
But kudos to MS for bringing the "fatboy" controller back, that and the choice of Blu-ray, overall console design, was actually awesome. It's just too bad that everything else individually is far worse than ever having to deal with the RROD fiasco. But there's no telling how or what will be jacked with this "one" hahahahaha, what a confusingly useless name.

You DO recall "SimCity" using this 'cloud computing' feature, right? They off-loaded non-essential code / processing onto their servers as you played.. Remember how well that worked? >.> Also, this goes back to 'requiring' both an internet connection AND reliable game servers for it to work as intended.

i'm saying.. who gives a shit.. when i put my game in the console and it works.. who gives a shit about the amount of RAM the console has? 6/10 console games gonna attach the console to a plasma or LCD tv.. so you wount see the special thing about it, unless you got a 3D tv or a high serie's LED tv

The PS3 has both GDDR5 for multitasking RAM and then more for video RAM… GDDR5 RAM is much better.

true :p
dude, PSN got hacked ONCE, the xbox network is hacked almost every fucking fortnight! The only difference Sony is actually sincere with its' customers and notifies them to be careful, not cover it up and if it leaks blame it on someone else. Go troll somewhere else, that Xbox One is fucking shit to anyone that lives outside the US, and you only need to look at the stock market to see the worldwide opinion of that shipping box they announced (Sony went up +9%, nintendo 2.2%, Microsoft went down 8%). They've basically forfeit the competition over the world's market and even half of their own fanboys have gone dry

de inmediato se ve que ese lugar de donde sacaste la información es "un santuario" para xbox
I just heard about Xbox One last night on t.v., how ironic. My nephew is going to love this!
It is a site for tech. If you go through the site you will see articles about Playstation as well. In the article itself it says that playstation has better tech. Your missing the point. Xbox 360 had better social media and both systems only had a handful of exclusive games that made any real difference. The GAMES will ultimately decided which system is better. Wow, read the whole thing I wrote.

And I repeat WHAT DOES THE PLAYSTATION LOOK LIKE?

Fatima A. Al-Ansari shut up, you havent played Xbox… i can tell… i havn't came across a network hack ever…. probably because its microsoft… they have better knowledge on whats going on
KISS, keep it stupid simple,we no smart
heres what I think, you ready?
I know ill be grining the whole way. But ya both of these systems have lots to bring to the table and its up to you to decide which system has more of what you want and willing to pay for.
there both great new innovative systems and have come a long ways since the ps3 and xbox360. They both have much to offer and it all really depends what features you most likely would pay to use for. There both great systems, me personally I will be picking up a ps4 day one with watch dogs and who knows what else ill pick up with it. Ill most likely be buying a xbox one a half a year to a year later because I'm sure they will have certain exclusives I will want to play also. I mean for god sakes stop nit picking at the systems and just be happy they are finally coming this year and we will have awesome new games and technology to play with
Oh yes because it being superior in appearance totally effects how it performs.
