a mere week after the launch of its new gaming console sony has already sold more than a million PlayStation fours now the Microsoft Xbox one has hit stores and so begins the fight for your holiday dollars the five-hundred-dollar Xbox is one hundred dollars more than the ps4 included in each Xbox one is an updated connect Microsoft's motion and voice sensing device it can track more people in the room it can kind of recognize you by just your face and sigh you into your account it does motion tracking so if your fault you're walking around the room having a skype call with someone you just walking around your room it will follow you it actually tracks your heartbeat you know if you have an exercise game sony has an optional camera you can add four sixty dollars Microsoft is hoping the xbox one will also appeal to a more mainstream audience not just gamers I think Microsoft wants to be your kind of go to box for your living room microsoft is offering the fantasy football integration they're offering cable TV integration where you plug your cable box into the xbox one each system will have exclusive game titles to show off stunning graphics and more powerful machines a lot of big franchises are going to be an Xbox one halo is going to be an Xbox one there's a new franchise from the makers from original makers of the modern warfare franchise called titanfall I think they're both going to have really powerful really appealing exclusive games at the e3 gaming conference Sony CEO Jack Tretton told CNET the improved technology would heighten the emotion of the games I think as the technology grows the ability to make the experience more and more immersive to really evoke emotion to make people scared when they're playing it excited mad and to really get in a relationship with the characters just like they would with a movie or a TV show but if you're looking to upgrade your current system you won't be able to play your old games on the new consoles for now if you have an old system you're probably going to want to keep that around for now even if you buy a new system but instead of focusing on which console to buy it might be more prudent to think about when to buy so if you wait you're going to get more games better games you won't have to deal with the technical launch difficulties you might even see a price drop in a future that's what happened with Nintendo's Wii U which launched last year but failed to gain traction at the time it's a year later so high quality games are starting to come out right now and the price is lower it's a lot lower than the PlayStation 4 or Xbox one so i think the the wii u actually makes for pretty compelling by this year's where last year really didn't giving credence to that old adage timing is everything in San Francisco I'm Sumi das seen it for CBS News
