Xbox One vs. PS4 Durability Test: Loser Gets the Chainsaw
Released on 11/21/2014
Battle Damage, I'm Jake from Vsauce3,
and I'm curious, what would survive, a Playstation 4,
or an Xbox One through a series of grueling tests.
Which could take more battle damage?
(rock music)
We're pitting the two biggest brands in gaming
head-to-head in this special, first-time ever,
knockout episode.
While the specs are similar, we're about to find out
which one of these two consoles is the toughest.
Battle Damage does three tests.
Drop from a normal height, drop from very high,
and finally, a very scientific (laughs), no,
we're gonna chop the loser in half with a chainsaw.
(chainsaw roars)
And joining us on set for the first test,
Jake and Michael from Vsauce.
This is so cool.
(air whooshing)
I have a PS4, I think it's a better system,
the Xbox is ugly and huge.
Xbox has better games.
Halo.
No one likes Halo, that's like so 2000 whatever.
[Erik] Roll!
Action!
(slow, dramatic music)
(crashing)
Physically, this is almost the exact same amount
of damage.
Okay, well let's plug 'em in.
Plug 'em in, all right.
You ready?
Kay, here we go.
[Justin] Three, two, one.
(beeping)
First boot up.
Will it boot up at all?
No!
It's doing something!
Safe mode, Xbox doesn't care about safety.
It doesn't need it. The PS4 is like,
hang on guys, let's make sure the kids are safe.
I'm already playing games,
you're in safety land over there.
It's booting up.
They've both passed.
[Erik] All right, let's take it up top.
Think that's a tie, sir.
I don't think it's gonna be a tie after this next test.
I think they might both break.
This is the one I feel the worst about.
[Justin] I know, gamers everywhere are crying.
Roll!
Action!
(slow, dramatic music)
(crashing)
Oh, snap!
Ah!
There's definitely some loose stuff in there.
Same piece fell off this one.
(clattering)
I'm confident.
[Justin] Come on, Playstation.
Ready?
You seem really--
[Justin] My button is like, it's a little--
[Erik] You seem nervous.
[Justin] I'm not as confident as I was.
Up top. I feel fine.
I feel fine.
(beeping)
Was that yours or mine?
That was mine, I don't even see a light, bro.
Is that it?
Wow.
That's such a beautiful screen.
[Justin] No, come on!
Wait, I'm plugging in the controller.
I think the power button's broken.
I'm not giving up, Erik.
Uh-Huh.
That's cool, I'm just gonna play some games.
Sounds like nothing.
It's not making any sounds.
It is dead.
Even thought the Playstation has better games,
a more comfortable controller, I guess structurally,
the Xbox--
Yes!
Is slightly better.
So that means the Playstation gets the chainsaw treatment.
Sorry, buddy.
(buzzer) (chainsaw revving)
(dramatic music)
(chainsaw revving)
All right, Erik, you won, you made your point.
(laughing)
The freaking Xbox is better.
[Erik] Woo!
[Justin] Damn.
Big thanks to Michael and Jake from Vsauce
for requesting this epic double-header episode.
Let us know what console you want us to battle test next,
down there in the comments.
I can't believe the Xbox won.
I can easily believe it, I knew it.
So did the Xbox won.
The Xbox One?
The Xbox One won.
I'm funny!
[Erik] He still lost.
