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.

slapshot101 I don't understand how this would even work. What games would even try to have 8 player local play? It would be crazy if on a 70" flat screen TV to split it that many ways. The 30 ft range will be very nice for people who use one Xbox for like 3 Tv's with HDMI splitters.


Depends on the game. If it was a sports game, you wouldn't have to split the screens at all.
