According to The Verge, Microsoft’s Xbox One is the best console (for current-gen) if the player don’t take into consideration exclusive games.
The last couple weeks have been quite frantic for console gamers, with the release of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and God of War as PS4 exclusive titles, and the return of several OG Xbox classics on Xbox One.
Looking at how things have shaped up, The Verge has provided a comment about what it thinks to be the current state of the current-gen ‘console war’, claiming that Xbox One is “the best console if you don’t care about exclusives.”
“While Microsoft is rightly being pilloried for its anemic first-party software efforts, the Xbox One actually now has more to play on it than any other console. At least, from a certain point of view,” the feature claims.
“Things get better when you actually play these games because in many cases they run vastly better on the new hardware. Original Xbox games are also now supported and get a 4x Native Resolution boost on the Xbox One and One S, or 16x on the Xbox One X — this usually means 960p on One S and 1920p on One X. 360 games load faster and often run smoother than they did on their original system, meanwhile, and sometimes even get specific enhancements for the Xbox One S and X.
It’s kind of amazing, for instance, that I can put the Mirror’s Edge disc I bought literally a decade ago into my One S and play it today with HDR support. The same goes for Halo 3, which now somehow looks better in backward compatibility mode than it did when specifically remastered for the Xbox One in The Master Chief Collection. And in lieu of an actual re-release or PC version, what better way to prepare for Red Dead Redemption 2 than by playing through its predecessor at a higher resolution?”
