Xbox One Vs PS4 backwards compatibility video boast
With the holidays nearing and the newest November update already out for the Xbox One, there are more reasons to be part of the console’s community. It also adds backwards compatibility, removes support for Kinect gestures for navigation, aside from making tweaks to improve stability and performance.

A similar Star Wars Battlefront bundle, which is nearly the same save for this being a standard bundle, is available for pre-order at Amazon for $349.99.
As Winbeta reports, the Xbox video game console, released in 2001, became the first console in the video game market offered by an American company.
Though the NPD Group, which tracks industry sales, has long since stopped reporting specific numbers, Microsoft was more than happy to let the world know that its console took the top spot. If you’re looking to maximize bang for your buck, this may be the best Black Friday Xbox One sale, at least for a new Xbox One. In comparison the only exclusive title to come from Sony worth a mention was is Uncharted 4 that managed to come in ninth place on this months best selling game chat, lagging behind Halo 5. The common price for both the stores is $299.99 and saves you $50. Were any of you affected by the Xbox Live or PSN outages past year?
