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.

8 Screens on one TV? So I should go and buy a 80'

Whilst it can be argued that more is better, eight controllers? That is a bit over the top, imagine eight people playing a game at once, the TV would be split up excessively. It would be amusing to see how eight people would play at once on a 22" screen.

570 Wow this is one of the most amazing inventions ever by Microsoft, and I think this will change gaming all together..

I think he was being sarcastic, I don't like this idea at all, pretty pointless.

-Ghosty I think people are going to have to get bigger TV's, because I mean a 50" TV divided into 8 sections is going to make it really hard to play!


I'm not even going to buy more than 2 controllers, I don't know why people should buy new TV's just to have 8 player split-screen.

8 controllers on a single television, that gonna be ridiculous if your going to have your separate mini screen to play
