It's been a long time coming. Current generation of consoles has been on the
market for over 7 years now and it's time for something new. A few weeks ago
Sony revealed first official info about the new PlayStation 4. They got fans
really excited with numerous improvements, 8 GB DDR5 memory (16 times more
than PS3's 512 MB), an eight-core CPU based on x86-x64 architecture and GPU on
the same chip as CPU. That's one thing I really like about these new consoles,
as it means they will be more similar to PCs, so porting games will be easier
and we'll get more great games on PC (I'm primarily a PC gamer, though I
respect consoles too and appreciate their role).
But, let's get back to Xbox One. The first thing I noticed about it was it's
name of course. Everyone expected it to be called Xbox 720, but Microsoft
decided to call it One. One means One device for all your entertainment. So
basically Microsoft want to completely take control of your living room
experience as new Xbox will be able to surf the internet, use Skype to make
calls in full HD, watch TV and guess what.. play games.
