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 gameā¦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.

Even though this really isn't that important to many people I think that because they where able to do this they will someday be able to connect the PS and Xbox to each other online. (I'm only hoping/guessing)

Aggie Its like videogamecetion.
Nice try but as someone else said its so the TV can be connected the PS4 was being used as an example I don't even see why you would want to connect a PS4 to an Xbox One lol

ZENU96 Now that i think of it, it is rather pointless. I don't know why they would invest in something like this.
And idk why people on TTG can't seem to read the articles before commenting. They didn't add this feature just so you can plug a PS4 into the X1. It's so you can plug a dvr box into the xbox one and watch tv while playing a game.

Jeff_HardyLightyearFrog What is the point in even adding this? Sounds so complicated!
I know right, I don't think alot of people will use that feature.
Unless you can talk to friends, cross platform than this is kind of pointless.
If they added the cross platform chatting system hat would be the best thing ever as I have friends on the Xbox and Playstation but personally I can;t see it getting added. But OT I do think it is a bit pointless but the option is there if you want to use it.
