PlayStation 4 will work with Xbox One's HDMI pass-through port

Users will be able to access the PlayStation 4's video signal through the Xbox One dashboard.

The Xbox One's HDMI pass-through port will support "any HDMI device", including the PlayStation 4, Microsoft confirmed during its presentation at the Tokyo Game Show.

During the presentation, Xbox senior director of product management and planning Albert Panello received a question regarding the Xbox One's ability to support video feed from the PlayStation 4, which he did not respond to directly.

Later in the presentation, when Panello discussed the Xbox One's ability to snap applications to the side of the screen during gameplay, he said "any application can be snapped to a game…this could be the live TV feed, so if you wanted to be playing Ryse and Killzone at the same time, you could snap that."

Killzone is a first-person shooter series exclusive to Sony consoles. The newest entry to the series, Killzone: Shadow Fall, is an upcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive title.

The confirmation from Microsoft that the Xbox One will not block the PlayStation 4's video signal comes shortly after Sony revealed that it will not prevent users from capturing video from the PlayStation 4's HDMI port.

The Xbox One is scheduled for launch in North America, most European markets, Australia, and New Zealand on November 22 this year, with follow-up releases in Japan and the remaining European markets in 2014.

They would be dicks if they didn't allow it.



Xbone will support any HDMI-device, PS4 is an HDMI-device... No-brainer.



That's actually pretty cool.



Does it do video pass through when its off?

Or is there a good reason to have a console on when im not using it?

Doubt it, I think he probably thought this was bad news or something I don't know. His tone in the first sentence was pointless. 



Microsoft promoting PS4 and its games more than Xbone. Haha



That's now the second time Microsoft have promoted Killzone Shadowfall... Thanks chaps!

Oh come on.. the DUTCH Xbox paged asked which game this pic is from (and 4 other games as well). It is made by the DUTCH studio GG.

 

But yeah, this can't be happening. There is someone appreciating a game on another console...

This is nothing like Sony and its partners advertising PGR in a real ad... TWICE!

And I like how people try to downplay this and even spin this into something negative. In reality this just proves how handy the HDMI port will be in the future.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
