Xbox One can connect to PS4; play "Ryse and Killzone at the sametime
Earlier this week, Sony announced as part of its Tokyo Game Show presentation that the company would allow for capturing of game video with its HDMI port. This is an interesting move by Sony since it established HDCP copy protection over an HDMI connection in its current PS3 console.
Microsoft has put an HDMI pass-through port in the Xbox One, which allows it to output video from another hardware device. The port was put in primarily to allow Xbox One owners to connect it to a cable TV set top box so they could watch a TV show in snapped mode while also playing a game. Microsoft has also confirmed that the Xbox One will work with external video capture devices.
Now that Sony has said there will be no video capture copy protection for games with the PS4's HDMI port, Microsoft has revealed that has opened the door to a crossover between the two rival consoles. In a GameSpot interview, Microsoft exec Albert Penello (spelled incorrectly in the article as "Albert Panello") talked about the snap feature in the Xbox One's user interface. He said, "... any application can be snapped to a game…this could be the live TV feed, so if you wanted to be playing Ryse and Killzone at the same time, you could snap that."
This opens the door to some interesting possibilities as game reviewers will be able to really compare the looks of both the Xbox One and PS4 versions of one game at the same time. It also would seem like the Xbox One's HDMI in port could also connect to the Xbox 360 or the Wii U.

WWF I think that is pretty cool. If only you could have cross platform communications.
Maybe that will be released in the future.

What I'll like to know is if they both come up on the screen at the same time like that picture in the source article.

DarnedNut Does this mean I can play a xbox one game on ps4 and a ps4 game on xbox one?
no what it's saying it you can plug your ps4 into your X1 and play through your X1, you still need the ps4. Microsoft is just confirming something we suspected back when they said the X1 as a hdmi in port.

No not at all. It pretty much tells that you can play two different games and consoles at the exact same time.
