She has finally buried the Playstation 4 Xbox One? – The Obs

Full time. A year and a half after the release of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, the “war” she ended with a knockout? That’s what the numbers suggest: Sony has elapsed 22680000 PS4, while Microsoft sold 12.63 million Xbox One

It is clear that today’s Sony. ‘established itself as the market leader, “said Julien Villedieu, general secretary of the National Union of gaming (SNJV).” But things are changing quickly, and Microsoft has not said its last word. “

The US giant still intends to emerge as the next generation consoles At the World Champion video game trade show, E3, Microsoft has pursued its goal last year. win back gamers “Our mission is to. you place, you player, central to everything, “assured Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division.

But that was before Sony and its flagship titles galore to” make the Playstation 4 the best place to play. “

The dredge gamers

It should be said that Microsoft is left with a thorn in the side. The launch of its Xbox One was enameled scramble and backpedaling. Today, the console costs the same as its rival, is sold without the Kinect motion sensor is no longer required to be connected to the internet and this new E3 is compatible with games its big sister, the Xbox 360.

If you’re still waiting on Xbox 360 and before moving to the new generation, now is a good time! “shouted Phil Spencer as an admission of weakness.

To conquer the players, the American has stepped exclusives ads but also unveiled a new controller, called Elite, which includes the codes of professional players. This, coupled with future “Halo 5,” “Fable Legends” and “Gears of War 4″, hopes to impose the xbox one in the competitions of video games, and seduce the mid gamers.

Only it must jostle with Sony. “With us the games and players come first,” replied Shawn Layden, president of Playstation America. At its conference, the Japanese released the heavy artillery, including with exclusive “Uncharted 4″, “Final Fantasy 7 Remake” and “Street Fighter V”. And for the competitions of video games, Sony put on “a partnership with Activision,” illustrated by prior application of “Call of Duty: Black Ops III.” And “Destiny” in Japanese console

The future is in the headphones

The gamers at all costs. The core target is explained by the fact that it is more prone population to invest money in games where casual players always hesitate between a console and a tablet.

Morpheus, the revolutionary headset Sony

In front, the American responded with a partnership with Oculus and another with Valve Except that the two headsets only work that if a PC (Windows 10). is close. To play, it will turn its Xbox, a game selection, turn his computer, stream content from the console on the PC, and then plug your headphones. It was simpler.

At Sony, simply plug your Morpheus to enjoy.

A huge difference, which clearly works against the American. However, if the virtual reality helmets are approaching commercialization, compatible games are still discreet. Microsoft has raised its compatibility with “Fable Legends”, while Sony is considering for the time that titles developed specifically for its Morpheus.

We have only rub the surface experiences game possible, “said Andrew House, head of the Playstation branch.

He does not think so right. The promised revolution since the beginning of the Oculus Rift (there are more than two years) begins immediately. “Manufacturers must we prove that these helmets are more than a gimmick and they will really bring something more to the game experience,” insists Richard Maxime Beaudoux analyst.

The use of virtual reality helmets could only be full by 2017, according to several forecasts. The accessory would revive interest console, the Kinect for Xbox Image 360. Fingers crossed for that helmets do not end up forgotten, as the sensor.
