Xbox One will support eight controllers at once

4.5
Xbox One will support eight controllers at once, up from the four that can be used with the Xbox 360.

According to details published on the official Xbox One product page, the new controllers will also have a 30 foot wireless range.

Sony has yet to confirm how many DualShock controllers can be connected to the PlayStation 4 at once. The PS3 currently supports seven controllers, even though no games support seven player local multiplayer.

A PepsiCo promo earlier this week hinted that an Xbox One release date will fall in late November, though Microsoft has already confirmed the console will not release in several European countries until 2014.

Sony has confirmed a November 15 release date for its PS4 in the US, while Europe and Australia will see the console release on November 29.

Let the boosting in games begin.

I know some people get their guests online with other controllers just to boost in certain games (CoD).

Dr-Ponyfile This will be interesting normally it is only 4 good job that they upgraded I wonder what Sony will have I imagine 4 but they will have to clarify.
Well as they said PS3 can support seven and I doubt they would downgrade plus with DS4's light bars 7 or 8 neon colors would look pretty cool I imagine.

Oh crap, that's going to be awesome even though I wont buy 7 other controllers!

Could care less about 8 controllers at once but the 30 foot wireless range is really impressive, I think everyone has had annoying moments with their controller shutting from being too far away.
