Which console would survive a 15 ft drop, PS4 or Xbox One?

The age old question of which is better, PS4 or Xbox One. This time, the tests have nothing to do with the internal components.

PoSTedUP4200d ago

that drop on ps4's corner really messed it up. amazing that the X1 survived a 15 foot drop! holy hell. reminds me of my '95 Caravan, that thing was a tank.

Foehammer4200d ago

Congrats to MS and the build quality of the X1

I can't believe you congratulated MS on a 'successful' drop test.
Funny stuff

tbone5674200d ago

I already knew xbox would win. Xbox and Tank goes together like white on rice.

Army_of_Darkness4199d ago

Note to self... No gaming on my ps4 while skydiving or sitting on top of a truck....

Shadow Flare4199d ago

A test for which product is the best at plummeting

Why am I not surprised it's the xbone

XisThatKid4199d ago

This is great to know I've been deathly afraid of my PS4 dropping at least I know it'll survive (or at least the odds are it will) a drop off my desk though. So when it inevitably happens....

The real question should be, Which surface can withstand the fall of an Xbox One from 15 feet!

Gazondaily4200d ago

If they keep doing these tests, we'll eventually reach the planet's core.

Or cause a seismic rift that will finally seperate California from mainland USA. Causing a new republic to be born, where a guy by the name of Snake Plissken will try to escape from!

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen4200d ago (Edited 4200d ago )

And this is relevant how? Is anyone going to be playing video games while suspended 15ft in the air? Is anyone going to be using their gaming console for a frisbee or a hockey puck?

Like most rational people who aren't drooling idiots, I will never put my PlayStation 4 into a situation where it will be dropped because it's sitting on a table next to my TV stand.

DLConspiracy4200d ago

You need to get with the in crowd man. Most all of us REAL gamers play suspended 15ft in the air. I guess only the Xbox One can hang with the big boiz. Or as we like to call it the sky high gamers. *gangster pose*

DefenderOfDoom24199d ago (Edited 4199d ago )

Now that would be a fun "youtube" video to watch . Having 2 NHL hockey teams, using the PS4 and XBOX1 as a hockey puck on a ice surface . I think the PS4 would slide on ice better . But i do not think either console could survive from a ZDENO CHARA slapshot .

SonofGod4199d ago

If the PS4 had won the drop test you would have been all like: "Sony make best hardwaaarrrreeeeee evaaarrr"

IGiveHugs2NakedWomen4199d ago

@SonofGod

"If the PS4 had won the drop test you would have been all like: "Sony make best hardwaaarrrreeeeee evaaarrr"

Actually, I really don't need a contest to tell me that the PS4 has the best hardware available in a gaming console. All I have to do is look at a few things:

GDDR5 vs DDR3 = Xbox One Fail

Installation times = Xbox One Fail

Fully upgradable HDD = Xbox One Fail

Upload video directly to Youtube = Xbox One Fail

More Games in full HD = Xbox One Fail

Console still functions after being dropped from 15ft in the air = Congratulations Xbox One For Not Failing

Azzanation4199d ago

Im sure if the shoe was on the other foot, you would be bragging about how cheaply made the X1 is compared to the PS4. Guess build quality isn't your thing.

Pogmathoin4199d ago

Damn! Pervyhugnakedchicksguy..... Teach me how to troll as good as you! You made a mistake though... More games closer to full HD.

Magnes4199d ago

@azzanation they didn't drop the whole xb1, the ps4 power supply is internal adding weight was what most likely didn't power up. The real test would require dropping xb1 power supply as well which they didn't.

I didnt think either one would survive, probably just got lucky. I remember the OG xbox had the break in the cords so you couldnt pull it over and kill a child.

TheSaint4199d ago

thank god I watched this vid, I was just about to throw my PS4 as high as I could........

Seriously, what's the point of this?

MK24ever4200d ago

Hmmm, I'm no phisics expert but it sems all the momentum of the fall happened on one stryke on PS4 since it landed at a perfect 90º angle while on Xbox-One, due to the fact it kinda slips on the impact (close to 45º angle) and rotated to the other corner, the impact was divided by two, reducing the impact overall on the system, anyway, I'll be called a fanboy for saying this so yeah...

gamer11384200d ago

So what you're saying is MS designed the X1 to land better if it fell!

yippiechicken4200d ago

They must have infused the XBO with feline DNA.

MK24ever4200d ago

I'd say the PS4 looks much better falling from a 15ft height, also it falls with higher resolution, but the X1 despite the ugly landing can spin the much better and so load faster.

Naga4199d ago

Except the smaller impact area of the Xbox One translates to significantly more pressure at an angle which was never meant to bear any load, unlike with the PS4.

BallsEye4199d ago

But falling on the corner could completely break motherboard. You saw whole console wobbling. So no. I was actually expecting to see XO not work after that corner fall. Corner falls are deadly.

LogicStomper4199d ago

Momentum is proportional to the velocity time mass. The PS4 went from V(initial) to zero. Change in momentum (impulse/impact) is mass*((finalvelocity)-(initial velocity))

If we were to set a coordinate system such that falling is positive velocity and going up is negative the impulse of the PS4 would be (PS4Mass)(V1-0)
which is (PS4Mass)*(-initialvelocity)

The Xbox One on the other hand goes back up (hence negative final velocity), so the equation would be:

(massXboxOne)*((-finalVelocit y)-(initalvelocity))

and because the two have the same initial velocity, the change in momentum/impact of the Xbox One is greater than that of the PS4.

What's sad is this will turn into an argument. My console can survive a 15 foot fall onto concrete better than yours!

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot28d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose29d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE29d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername28d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy29d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde28d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8628d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8628d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300029d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle29d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7728d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
