Official box art for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Sony and Microsoft decided not to drag out the time and showed the design of the boxes of their new PlayStation 4 and Xbox One gaming consoles, which will be waiting for us on the shelves of local stores when they go on sale closer to the end of this year. Recent reports indicate that the European release of the PlayStation 4 will take place on November 13, and as for the Xbox One, its sales should begin on November 21. At least, such information is reported by one of the Dutch retailers, the company ToysXL.

But back directly to the boxes themselves, in which we will wait for the cherished console. Both look quite stylish and without unnecessary pretentiousness. In both cases, we see the console itself and the game controller. The PlayStation 4 box once again confirms that the console will come with a 500 GB hard drive. The cost of the console will be $ 399 / euro, which is as much as $ 100 lower than the cost of the console from Microsoft. However, we will take into account that the PS Eye biometric camera will not be included in the package - you will have to buy it separately for $ 59 (as well as the second joystick, which will cost the same price).

Since the Xbox One console itself turned out to be somewhat larger in size compared to the PlayStation 4 (343 x 263 x 80 mm for the Xbox One versus 305 x 275 x 53 mm for the PS4), the box itself turned out more. The cost of the Xbox One will be $ 499, but this price will also include the new Kinect 2.0 bundle.
