The Xbox One: Hardware Analysis & Comparison to PlayStation 4

Stefan Mileschin · 23rd May 2013, 07:41

It’s that time of decade again. Time for a new Xbox. It took four years for Microsoft to go from the original Xbox to the Xbox 360. The transition from Xbox 360 to the newly announced Xbox One will take right around 8 years, and the 360 won’t be going away anytime soon either. The console business demands long upgrade cycles in order to make early investments in hardware (often sold at a loss) worthwhile. This last round was much longer that it ever should have been, so the Xbox One arrives to a very welcoming crowd.

Yesterday Microsoft finally took the covers off the new Xbox, what it hopes will last for many years to come. While Microsoft was light on technical details, I believe we have enough to put together some decent analysis. Let’s get to it.
