With the Xbox One S release just around the corner, consumers may be in a fence between the two now. Is the Xbox One S Microsoft's edge over the current PlayStation 4? Or is it just a temporary solution to the competition?

The most compared features for each and every console since the the second and third generation consoles is the processing power. Beefier specs mean better performances and less sluggish gameplay.

In this regard, the Xbox One S, PlayStation 4, and even the original Xbox One work seamlessly that they are already blurring the line between high-spec PC gaming and TV-console gaming. The only differences between these consoles and what could highlight the Xbox One S might be Cortana and the much anticipated 4K experience.

However, the upcoming PlayStation 4.5 or PS4 Neo is most likely to have the same 4K and Virtual Reality capability. It would just be a matter of time between these consoles to jump in to these technologies and have them available for consumers.

Software wise, Xbox One S and the original Xbox One have the advantage over the PlayStation 4 and even the upcoming Neo due to their backwards compatibility. The feature has an already growing number of 360 titles being added in the list and this greatly expands the variety that the consoles has to offer.

Xbox One S's compact design wouldn't really matter as the main focus for the majority of consumers will be on the titles and the way these titles are going to be played. In fact, slim versions of consoles isn't something new as it started way before the earlier days of SEGA and even the slim PSOne.

To answer the question if Xbox One S would be a good choice for shifting from PlayStation to Xbox gaming, the answer lies in the titles available, especially the exclusives.

Xbox One S's advantages are the backwards compatibility and the exclusives. If consumers had been eluding the original Xbox One simply due to its bulkiness, the Xbox One S might actually be a nice option. Getting to play "Halo," "Quantum Break," or other platform exclusives as well as some highly demanded 360 titles could turn the table for Microsoft.

With PlayStation 4, exclusive titles also define its advantage as well. If consumers are looking forward to more JRPGs and some exclusives like "The Last Guardian" or "Bloodborne," then the PlayStation 4 might still be the way to go.

In short, it will always be about the game titles available for each console. Features like 4K can be overlooked as their main market are games intended to be played and not simply stared at.
