hi I'm Joshua Smith from
0:07
cac.mil opers of All Sorts the recent
0:10
video game console war between Sony's
0:12
Playstation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One
0:14
is a perfect example of this as both
0:17
consoles support companion apps for the
0:19
Next Generation systems so stay tuned as
0:21
I put both applications head-to-head to
0:23
see which comes out on
0:28
top the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have
0:31
been competing Rivals since their
0:32
November 2013 releases both consoles the
0:35
entry point for Next Generation gaming
0:38
Sony's PS4 has dominated the Xbox One in
0:40
sales for five consecutive months in the
0:43
US taking a look at Sony's Playstation
0:46
app compatible with all iOS devices and
0:48
More Design After launch is well
0:50
organized and laid out after launching
0:52
the Xbox one smart glass app recent
0:54
activity is shown while other features
0:56
can be accessed from a tab menu a
0:58
different visual experience on each both
1:01
systems feature achievement sections and
1:03
on the PlayStation app they can be found
1:05
under the trophies tab where you can see
1:07
all of your trophies earned for each
1:09
game and can compare them to your
1:10
friends the Xbox is simply referred to
1:13
as achievements and shows the same
1:14
activities as the PlayStation but in
1:16
deeper detail including when last played
1:19
feature challenges for the community and
1:21
more these sections on both apps give
1:23
Gamers a chance to see what they can aim
1:25
for when not playing easily while these
1:28
nextg consoles promote sharing your
1:30
gaming with the community the
1:31
PlayStation app features a section to
1:33
watch live stream footage of people
1:35
playing games each stream has a title
1:37
and users can also see how many people
1:39
are watching before they tap to watch
1:41
the stream on their device via
1:43
twitch.com while live stream is not yet
1:45
supported in Smart Glass users can play
1:48
back all of their personal video clips
1:49
anytime they want from the app so every
1:52
time you said Xbox record that you can
1:54
come back to it on your iPhone to show
1:56
off that Titanfall kill to all of your
2:00
when in the PlayStation app the top bar
2:02
is where notifications invites and more
2:04
can be found and when on the go you can
2:06
chat with all of your PSN friends via
2:08
messages Xbox One Smart Glass is just
2:11
the same with its own individual tab
2:13
tell your buddy when you're going online
2:15
or how cool that new game is when away
2:17
from your system easy to do from both
2:20
apps probably one of the biggest
2:22
features these apps hold is the ability
2:24
to connect straight to your consoles and
2:26
control them by connecting your device
2:28
to the same network as the system
2:30
the PlayStation app allows you to power
2:32
on your device from standby turn it off
2:34
and also use it as a remote to swipe
2:36
through the console's home menu and more
2:39
the Xbox One is able to do just the same
2:41
with the same swipe controls and also
2:43
onscreen buttons like the controller
2:45
toggle your way through your device and
2:46
even enjoy a cable remote for when your
2:48
cable is hooked up via your Xbox both
2:51
applications provide an almost identical
2:53
remote experience while Smart Glass
2:55
simply holds a few more buttons and
2:56
options like volume control and more
3:00
with more useful features like using
3:02
your device as a console keyboard and
3:04
more overall both applications provide
3:06
very similar experiences defining which
3:09
app is better ultimately depends on your
3:11
personal preference while I use both
3:13
systems consistently I found myself
3:15
using Smart Glass more the app
3:17
automatically connects to my system and
3:19
being able to show off my own game
3:21
highlights when away from the house is
3:23
just really cool to me a definite
3:25
interesting entry point for applications
3:27
I'm excited to see where this goes and
3:29
you can check out more news most
3:30

3:36
Playstation app versus Microsoft's Xbox
