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.

LightyearFrog 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.

When I read this I thought this was an online game and it meant that you could play online with Xbox and PS members, but now that I know you can only play with someone in the same household that's kinda cool but also a big waste of time

I agree, this will be very confusing playing 2 different games on 2 screens.

It may be a waste of time for a lot of people, but the option is there if you need it.
