Will Xbox One beat the PS4?
"Sony appears to have built the faster gaming machine, while Microsoft has built a system that might appeal to a broader audience," said technology journalist Anand Shimpi.
"Anyone hoping for a clean sweep will likely be disappointed."
Games journalist Michael French agreed that both consoles can survive, as long as they don't upset their fans.
He said: "If platforms do start falling away it will likely be down to the manufacturers' own mistakes, rather than the actions of their rivals."
