PS4 is better than Xbox

Let us start when it began when the PS4 came out on November 15, 2013, and the Xbox coming out on November 22, 2013, which on a side note means that the Xbox came out only a week after the PS4. The importance of this blog in my eyes is that anyone that loves games needs to make the right decision when going out to get there very own console. The reasons for which I believe PS4 is better than the Xbox is that to the controller for the PS4 charge whereas the Xbox uses batteries. One other reason I believe Xbox is worse than the PS4 is to the point of which Xbox live and PS plus.
First, the PS4 has to charge whereas Xbox uses batteries. "Typically the DualShock 4 lasts for 4-8 hours ...charge". "30 hours ... or get a different rechargeable battery pack". This means that the PS4 controller might only 4-8 hours but at least you can charge the controller, though with the Xbox you might get 30 hours but you can't charge the controller. In other words if you use up all of your battery life it's basically buy another battery pack.
If you don't believe that's better than the Xbox because you get 7.5-3.75 times the amount of battery life than the PS4's controller, but for one battery pack you spend around 21 dollars which means that if you would play video games around the clock on Xbox (Which I understand nobody does) per month you would spend $508.
Next, When playing on Xbox and want to play online most of the games that require online status will require Xbox live similarly to the PS4's PS Plus.  "You can't play online ... without a gold subscription". This means that basically for a free game like Fortnite you would have to get Xbox live on your Xbox to play Though on PS4 you don't need the ps plus for this game. Prices are the same for Xbox live and ps plus $10 a month, $25 per three months, and $60 for one year.
Finally, the choice is really up to the consumer. All I ask is to anyone reading this that they think of the two reasons that I informed you that are PS4 controllers can be charged whereas Xbox uses batteries and you need to buy Xbox live for games that are normally free, the next time you're thinking about buying an Xbox or PS4.
