PS4 and Xbox One

With the recent release of the next generation Playstation and Xbox, it was an easy choice to award a tie to the Xbox One and the PS4. These consoles are very similar and have a strong consumer following. Many of the most popular video games, like Call of Duty Ghosts, GTA 5, Disney Infinity, can both be played on either system. With so many people having just purchased an Xbox One or PS4, the search for new games is at an all time high and these are excellent titles to choose amongst.  

Call of Duty Ghosts, Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA 5), and Battlefield 4

For those people who prefer first person shooters or games for a mature audience, like Grand Theft Auto 5, then this list will help them decide which PS4 game or Xbox One game to play on the next generation video game console. However, these titles are for a mature audience only. For those people looking for video games tailored to a younger audience, then the next section describes two games that are more appropriate than Call of Duty Ghosts, GTA 5, and Battlefield 4.

Disney Infinity and Skylanders Swap Force

Disney Infinity and Skylanders Swap Force were rated among the hottest video games because of their unique approach to gaming. In addition to the software itself, tangible action figures and characters are also included to make the experience unlike other video games. Players collect real world toys and characters to use in the video game's virtual world adventure story. The Disney Infinity collection features many characters kids already love. These characters are then synced with the game so that the Disney characters appear during game play. These video games provide a great way to get kids into the hobby of collecting Disney Infinity characters.  

The Judging Criteria

The selection of the aforementioned consoles and individual game titles was based on many factors.  The first factor was the amount of publicity the games or consoles have recently received. Clearly, the Xbox One and the PS4 have been in the news quite often over the past month. The next factor was consumer demand based on how many of video game consoles or titles have already been sold. The third and final factor was level of innovation. Clearly, Disney Infinity and Skylanders Swap Force are innovative with their action figures and characters. Plus, the next generation hardware of the PS4 and the Xbox One is on the cutting edge of innovation.
