During the E3 2016 Microsoft announced two consoles: Xbox One S, a slimmer version of the Xbox One with support 4K goes on sale in August, and another called “Project Scorpio” that supports virtual reality and will not arrive until late 2017. on the other hand, Sony has not yet submitted a new console, but confirmed it is working on a more powerful PlayStation games will be able to 4K and will arrive in the near future. But do not worry, do not really have to get rid of your old Xbox One or PlayStation 4 yet. But if you’ve been waiting to update your console last generation (PS3 or Xbox 360) yes you should consider waiting a little longer until these new versions.



Let’s talk about 4K

the biggest change announced in this E3 is about 4K. The new “Project Scorpio” Xbox console and Sony mysterious native will support this resolution. The current version of PlayStation 4 can play videos and photos in 4K, but not games or play BluRays in 4K, or do streaming 4K from Netflix. On the other hand, the current Xbox One can not do anything in 4K. But all this will change with the new consoles

4K content has been gaining increasing relevance and support, but comes with some drawbacks. Netflix can not do streaming 4K on high quality and BluRay players in 4K are still very expensive. However, a new 4K console can play this type of content seamlessly to enjoy it on your TV, which means that if you have a 4K TV the Xbox and PlayStation new will be quite attractive.

this also means that if you’re looking to buy a new TV it’s time to start thinking about 4K. In 2014 it was still not ideal grab a 4K TV because they were too expensive, but today prices have fallen considerably, and we are seeing that there are more and more movies available in 4K worldwide. Basically, if you want to watch movies 4K on your TV simply you can buy BluRay or play it from Netflix on Xbox One S from August (although you can not play 4K), and this is a much cheaper option than a DVD BluRay 4K.

Xbox One S is a version of the One original Xbox smaller and with support 4K

in addition to support for 4K already mentioned the Xbox One S is much thinner than the current model, and changed places some of its ports. Beyond that, it is basically the same as the model that you can buy today. The new Xbox can not play games 4K and supports the same titles. There is also a limited edition of 2TB storage is for sale for $ 399, which is great considering that the One Xbox 1TB today cost more than $ 300

The Xbox One S also has other small but interesting features. For example, it has an internal IR sensor that will allow you to turn on other devices such as your TV. Today the Xbox One can only do this if your TV supports HDMI-CEC. But the One S device can control your A / V and even your cable box. The new Xbox also has the power source inside. And finally, the controls of Xbox are Bluetooth, which means that you can connect both your console and a PC with Windows 10 without problems.

However, these changes are too small to convince someone who already has an Xbox One to switch to the new one. The One S will play the same games from the original version, and new titles will work on both consoles, so there is no real need to update, unless you want to take advantage of the 4K support.

But the who they want to buy their first console do have much more to consider. The new Xbox One S has a price that starts at $ 299 for the model with 500 GB of storage. That is the same price with current Xbox One, but there is one very important difference: bundles or offers. For example, today you can buy a 500GB Xbox One games included for just $ 279. The One S costs $ 20 more and does not bring any game. If you do not want the video in 4K and do not mind it larger, then equal worth you more get games included with the console for the same price.



The PlayStation with Sony 4K is coming, but their biggest advantage has to do with virtual reality

Sony confirmed the existence of the PlayStation 4 “Neo”, which will support 4K and will be more expensive than the current version, but unfortunately that is all the information that we have today. We do not know when it will come to market or how much cost

However, Sony has talked a lot about his plans with virtual reality games, which could help you decide whether or not to wait for this console. At E3 we got to know that PlayStation VR glasses will cost $ 399 and will go on sale on October 13, but not need to have the PS4 Neo for use. At the time we assume that since the current PlayStation 4 can not play games with 4K could not virtual reality games, but it seems that this is not so. Unlike other virtual reality glasses that rely on graphics with resolution of about 4K, the PlayStation VR is based on a 1080p display. . Which means that the current PS4 will have no problem in giving support

The downside is that it brings us great doubt know that the PS4 Neo will be better and will support the 4K games, but as regards VR is less clear. Perhaps in the future they will launch an improved version of the PlayStation version VR for Neo? Or is this console can only be exploited for those who have a 4K TV? Until we know more about it you probably should not buy a PlayStation 4 if you are interested in the 4K and virtual reality. Although it will be a difficult decision because we know that Sony plans to release 50 games for your PlayStation VR in a few months, including a Batman in VR and Resident Evil in VR. But until we know more about the PS4 Neo and what changes brings in relation to the current PS4, the wisest course is to wait if you’re interested in virtual reality.



The Project Scorpio Xbox offer graphic and enhanced support for virtual reality

Unlike the One S, the other console that Microsoft announced at E3 (Project Scorpio) is a big leap in relation to the current Xbox One. Will support 4K games like virtual reality goggle powerful

And Microsoft wants take advantage of all that extra potential. One in the current Xbox games are limited to a maximum rate of 30 fps to stay constant. But Project Scorpio will not be necessary to limit the games as well, and will be able to have constant 60 fps smoothly. If you were not happy with the performance of the One original Xbox Microsoft wants to regain your support with this console (although you should not take at face value promises how are you when you need more than a year to hit the market this device).

And more importantly, Microsoft said Project Scorpio will be part of the same generation. Which means that all the controls, accessories and games always work in this new console. Surely virtual reality games need to buy additional hardware, but everything else will be compatible with the “old” consoles.

If you are interested in virtual reality games and want to get the most graphic potential in your consoles, Project Scorpio should be interesting, and maybe you should wait for her. Although not yet know what the price of Project Scorpio (and even what its official name, or what virtual reality games will come to the console), you should perhaps consider waiting a year before buying an Xbox if you have not yet taken the jump to this generation of consoles and what you care about most is virtual reality.


the bottom line is that if you are not interested 4K or virtual reality can shop without worry an Xbox One or PlayStation actual 4. If you are interested in 4K video but do not 4K interested in games, the Xbox One S is for you. Moreover, it is likely to see very attractive discounts at the end of the year when the new consoles will be leaving in the past the old.
