Xbox One VS PS4 - Specs, Tech, Games, Price: Picture Shows How the Game Cases Compare

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Game Cases Shown Side by Side

You've seen the Xbox One game cases, and you've seen the PlayStation 4 game cases. But how about the two side-by-side? Well, now you have, so cross that off your bucket list.

You can see the comparison above, thanks to the silver tongued Twitter user Joseph Guzman, a silver tongued devil who managed to convince a GameStop employee to allow him to snap the photo.

The ecto green Xbox One case appears as roughly the same height as the cool blue PlayStation 4 case, if not a bit wider, but that could just come down to the perspective from the photo.

Granted, with most retailers already stocked up on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the next-gen cosnoles' respective and impending launches later this month, you could just take a peek at them in real life, but provided that's not an option, here you are.

Microsoft's Xbox One launches on Nov. 22, and will be available in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and the United States for $499.

The new console claims an 8-core x86 processor and Microsoft hopes it will take the place of the family room cable box by letting you watch Blu-ray movies and TV through the console, in a "seamless transition" that lets players switch from playing games to watching shows and/or movies. It will come fully loaded with 8GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive.

A cross-country tour where Microsoft is demoing the system at various locations is already underway, and demo kiosks have begun arriving at certain retailers.

As for Sony, the PlayStation 4 boasts Supercharged PC architecture, X86 CPU, Enhanced PC GPU, and 8GB Unified Memory under the hood. It will support the same PlayStation Plus service as the Vita and PlayStation 3. However, a Plus subscription will be required for online multiplayer games, but not for additional media services like Netflix. Sony has also updated the Dual Shock controllers with a touch screen and improved shoulder triggers, and bundles the console with a headset.

Demo kiosks have already started making their way to various retailers, with more and more rolling out the closer we get to the console's launch date.

The PlayStation 4 is set to release on November 15 in North America and on November 29 in Europe. Day one games available for the system include Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Killzone Shadow Fall,Madden NFL 25, Minecraft, NBA 2K14, Need for Speed: Rivals, and more. It will retail for $399.
