It should be pretty similar and the only explanation is that there is more review on PS4. Another explanation would be the experience is effectively better on Xbox One (other than those obsessed with resolution/frame rate) with a different controller, Xbox Live integration, Kinect maybe?

Now, having the same scores (on average); it is obviously showing that the difference in resolution/frame rate for the multiplatform is really not a big deal like few people are claiming.

The Xbox Live experience is better on a single player game?

Well okay then, if you say so.


Well, to be fair there are a lot of nice aspects to Xbox Live that don't involve multiplayer, like an activity feed where your friends see your achievements and you see theirs, etc. Being able to snap a Netflix movie while playing a game improves one's experience if that's what you want to do, etc.

Wait...snapping in Netflix while playing a game, improves the game?


I listen to audiobooks while i game much of the time because its hard to justify playing a video game for hours on end when you could be doing a video game AND something else at the same time. You might not agree, but I can play Peggle 2 and Titanfall just fine while listening to lectures and then I am getting more out of the experience. 'Feeling the explosion wash over you' is fun, but it isn't very developmental. Just as I don't like to listen to lectures and stare at a wall, I don't like to shoot robots and listen to nothing but explosions.

If that makes me less of a 'real gamer' in your eyes, fine. It does make me happier, smarter, and more comfortable with the time I put into playing video games (UPDATE: this is saying happier than if I didn't do it, smarter than if I didn't do it, and more comfortable with my time playing games than if I didn't do it, NOT, as some seem to think, that I'm saying listening to audiobooks makes me happier and more comfortable with my time on video games than the person I'm talking to. In fact, I suspect most people are much more comfortable with their time playing games than I am, it always feels like I could be doing more productive things to me, hence the audiobooks), and that matters to me more than your opinion of my gaming 'purity.' And I'm sure Jennifer Lawrence would agree with me.
