Many video game fans have been waiting a long time for this game, which is going to be released on November 17, 2015. This will be the third major release in the Star Wars Battlefront series. However, this new Battlefront game is not a sequel to the previous games, but rather a reboot.

When the game was first announced we knew it was pretty clear that it wasn’t going to be available for the WiiU.

We knew that the new Star Wars Battlefront was going to be available for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 so many people were also hoping that it might be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as well, but that didn’t happen.  So if you want the new Star Wars Battlefront video game you need to have a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One – unless you plan on getting the PC version.

Both systems are good. So what are some of the things you should consider when deciding which console is best for you?

  • PlayStation 4 has a bit better graphics for some games.
  • Xbox One currently has a larger game library. Plus starting in November 2015 Xbox One has added backward compatibility which further adds to its library and makes the console even more attractive to current Xbox 360 owners.

The exclusive games that are available for each console can often be the deciding factor for many people.
