6. Networking
Setting up networks for both consoles is as easy as eating Thanksgiving pie; its actually embedded into the initial system set-up. All you do is enter your account information or set everything up if youre new to either PSN or XBL. The Xbox One and Playstation 4 both have wholly unnecessary features that use their respective camera devices to lock an account to your face, but its technologically neat nonetheless. What really separates these two apart is just how drastically different the download speeds seemingly are. On my Playstation 4, I downloaded the initial 600MB update so ridiculously fast that I was unable to comprehend what the heck was even transpiring. I even downloaded retail games from the Playstation Store within 30 minutes, and these are 30-50GB sized games were talking about here. It seriously felt like I had been teleported into the future where download and upload speeds are meaningless terms. The Xbox One doesnt have terrible download speeds, but they are essentially no different than what I was getting with my 360. Its an odd situation that I cant technically explain, but thats my honest to God experience so far.
