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.

This is no good for PS4.
The latency of the socket is only good for connecting cable or satellite tv services.
Unless you want laggy PS4 games of course.

BreadingMKD Well i feel slightly disappointed after reading this :L Thought they were going to have Cross-Platform gaming via the internet, but no :
I think everyone is feeling what you're feeling right now
The title of the article says you can play killzone and ryse at the same time. How does that even hint at cross platform gaming? If the title was "XBOX ONE CAN CONNECT TO PS4; PLAY "BATTLEFIELD 4 WITH EACHOTHER" then yes, I would understand the confusion.

LightyearMichael1321 Sorry but this is so pointless
I agree, I think this will only be confusing and annoying since you can't focus on 2 things at the same time.
Holy chit. They're not saying you have to use this feature, if it's too confusing and annoying DON'T use it.
