Performance
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores (processing units). It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
Ray tracing is an advanced light rendering technique that provides more realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections in games.
I/O throughput refers to the bandwidth of the internal storage. Storage that supports faster data transmission speeds results in quicker load times.
Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance.
NVMe SSDs use the PCIe interface, which has a higher bandwidth than the SATA interface. This results in much faster read/write speeds compared to SSDs which use the SATA interface.
memory bandwidth
68.3 GB/s
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim 250GB)
A higher memory bandwidth means the memory can be accessed faster and therefore data can be retrieved quicker, having a positive effect on the performance.
General info
The type of game console.
The resolution represents the amount of pixels that make up the image. It is a key indicator of image quality, with higher resolutions providing sharper and more detailed images.
The internal hard drive can be replaced by the user, for example if you wish to upgrade to a larger storage capacity.
Devices with an internal power supply are desirable as they don't require a large external "power brick" on the cable. It’s more aesthetically pleasing and an advantage if you have limited space.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
Region free devices allow you to play games from different continents. This enables you to collect a larger game library, and you could play games before they are released in your region.
The thickness (or depth) of the product.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Connectivity
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
The Wi-Fi versions supported by the device.
All DLNA-certified products are compatible with one another. When different devices are connected to the same network, data can be transferred easily between them.
With more USB ports, you are able to connect more devices.
You can output high definition video and audio to a display. This could be an HDMI port, Mini HDMI port, or a USB-C port that supports HDMI.
Newer versions of HDMI support higher bandwidth, which allows for higher resolutions and frame rates.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that allows data transfers between devices placed in close proximity, using short-wavelength, ultra-high frequency radio waves. Newer versions provide faster data transfers.
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
Features
Consoles which have more games offer more choice to the user. It is also an indicator of how popular a console is.
Exclusive games are only available to that game console producer.
You can use your voice to control key functions of the device and you can easily access your device without pushing any button.
With backwards compatibility, you can play games from the previous generation (or several generations) of console.
This means you don’t have to wait for the entire game to download first, as the later stages of the game download while you are playing.
Quick resume is a feature that allows you to switch between several running games with practically zero loading times.
It supports Discord Voice, allowing you to chat with people on other platforms such as PC and mobile.
3D audio provides a more immersive soundscape than traditional surround sound technologies, allowing you to pinpoint the exact direction that sounds are coming from.
Dolby Vision is an HDR format that supports greater color depth and brightness than HDR10/HDR10+. It uses dynamic metadata so that each frame can have its own settings for contrast, brightness, and colors, which results in lifelike images.
Controllers
More controllers allows you to have more people playing at a time.
Special motors in the controller can adjust the tension of the trigger buttons, adding to the feeling of immersion. For example, the triggers can become harder to press down as a player’s character sprints and becomes fatigued.
Compatible with a motion-sensing controller(s)
✖Microsoft Xbox One
✔Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim 250GB
A motion controller is a type of game controller that utilizes sensors (such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and other types of sensors) to track motion and provide input.
The device controllers connect to the console wirelessly, allowing for a tangle free gaming experience.
The more analog sticks, the more complex the input can be.
With a touchpad, users can control the device by moving their finger on a touch-sensitive surface.
With dual force feedback the controller has realistic vibrations, allowing you to feel the direction from which the impact is coming.
A lighter controller puts less strain on the hands while playing.
The more buttons the device has, the more complex the input can be.

A very limited console.

The Xbox One is one of the worst consoles that has ever existed. It was launched in 2013 and at that time the main representative of the Xbox division was the controversial Don Mattrick. The Xbox engineers focused their efforts on creating a console centered on multimedia entertainment and this is noticeable in the console. It sports a very weak GPU, has very slow RAM, low network speed, external power supply, Kinect 2.0, etc... In short, a disaster. The only decent thing about this console is the CPU and the esRAM, but they offer no substantial advantage over the competition. Its game catalog is very limited and Xbox One's exclusive games were quite mediocre. Halo 5 Guardians is considered the worst Halo in the series, Fable was cancelled, Scalebound was cancelled, Gears of War 4 had good graphics but a poorly developed plot, Crackdown 3 was a rip-off and they did not deliver what they promised, State Of Decay was another failure... The only outstanding game was Ori And The Blind Forest. The rest of the catalog, very improvable. The Xbox One controller is very good; it has quite poor construction but it's very well designed and very pleasant to use for First-Person-Shooter games. The Kinect 2.0, on the other hand, was terrible in all aspects. And I must add that thanks to Phil Spencer, the Xbox One improved slightly as a platform. He brought the convergence between Windows 10 and Xbox (via UWP) and brought backward compatibility with the legendary Xbox 360. Despite this, the original Xbox One, in terms of hardware, was a failure. Multiplatform games run at 900p resolution with tearing on Xbox One. On the competition, they were going at 1080p30fps without any problem. This is due to the bottleneck of the esRAM and the GPU. The console also makes quite a bit of noise, but this is due to the HDD hard drive, so it also affects the PS4. In summary, it was a bad console.
