Microsoft confirms PS4 can be connected to Xbox One

Published a little while ago, but I just found out about this. Apparently, you can play an xbox game, and snap in a ps4 game at the same time! Seems cool for people who are getting both consoles! More information in that link.

Tell me my frig and microwave work together and I will be amazed! :winktongue:

The reviews are showing some definite lag over the HDMI Input though, so you probably won't actually want to do this.

Apparently this *doesn't* work. Silly Sony used HDCP encoding on the gameplay on the PS4. XD

Do I smell jealously that they didn't think of it first?

Kotaku had fun hooking the WiiU into it though.

It depends on the game you do it with. If it's online, of course not. If you're playing a turn-based game or something, the issues shouldn't matter. I've recently been playing MLB Front Office Manager on my 360, and it's basically 100% menu navigation in that game, so input lag's not a real problem.

We've known this quite a while, anything with HDMI-video output can be hooked up to the Xbox One.

Can I have the link to the Wii U?

I would love to know the real world lag that this causes. I know the Xbox one is NOT a DVR so there is no buffering involved. Would someone actually connect a Xbox 360 to it and play COD Multiplayer with knowing there might be a millisecond lag that could case the difference of Kill or be Killed...

No question, it would save a input on my HDMI switch that I am already out of ports on with connecting the xbox one(I was thinking about buying a larger one) and a WiiU I picked up for almost nothing last week...(Need to play Super Mario land 3D)

I'll try it tonight.

I plan on doing it anyway to stay in an Xbox Live Party with my 360 friends.

They don't have a video of it, just the image:

If the PS4 runs smoothly passing through an XB1 I'd think there will be a small update to take care of that pesky problem.

For those who wanted video, here's the link: You Can Play An Xbox 360 Through An Xbox One Through An Xbox One They don't give video of playing Wind Waker, but they do show several consoles being daisy chained.

Microsoft always did get along better with Nintendo than Sony. ^^;

They DO show a PS4 running Killzone through the Xbox One, so there seems to be no issue on that front.
