PS4 Vs Xbox One: Which Should You Buy In 2015?

4. Exclusive Console Features

Social media functionality gives Sony the edge if you're thinking of uploading a lot of your gameplay footage, but the Xbox has an underrated feature tucked away in its midst; in-game Achievement-tracking. For whatever reason, Sony and both the PS3 and PS4 have never seemed to totally crack the whole achievement/trophy thing, relying on a 'synching' screen to pop up whenever you want to access them - not to mention having to leave the game and hop across to a different menu anyway. The Xbox One on the other hand, has the 'Snap' function, which lets you allocate a chunk of the screen to everything from Achievements to Youtube, meaning you can hop across and highlight a particular achievement (watching it rack up the points in real time), or let any other feature sit there. Point goes to... Xbox One Sharing functions are all well and good, but for a console feature that would appeal to a universal audience of gamers - predominantly those who are yet to upgrade and are coming off the back of the 360 - it's the Xbox One's new and improved Snap interface that works a treat.
