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.

-ELiTEx- 8 controlles = more people boosting


You'll have to be quite handy to boost with more than 2 controllers :P

I don't think ANYONE will get 8 controllers anyway, maybe if you have some friends coming over who bring their controllers. But your TV will have to be immense!

They actually didn't. They had up to seven. If I am not mistaken that is not eight.

8 player split screen on one TV sounds horrible even if the TV is like a 60" 6 player should be the max this would only be good for sports games.
