Sony PlayStation 4 1TB Black
Score: 75/100
Microsoft Xbox One 1TB Matte Black
Score: 79/100Rankings
The renewed Xbox One 1 TB Special Edition offers generous storage and solid media features, but it still carries the original's bulk and lacks modern HDR/4K gaming. It's a good refurbished option for budget-focused gamers and media-center users.
The PlayStation 4 1TB Black Console offers a powerful 8-core CPU, 8 GB of GDDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB HDD for a solid 1080p HDR gaming experience, complemented by a DualShock 4 controller and extensive media features. Its drawbacks include lack of 4K support, a noisy fan, and reliance on a mechanical hard drive.
