Connect eight controllers to Xbox One at once, only four on PS4

Xbox One can support up to eight controllers connected to the system simultaneously. Multitaps everywhere were rendered somehow even more obsolete thanks to Microsoft's shop listing for the controller (via VideoGamer), which otherwise lists several previously confirmed features for the updated peripheral.

If you have a gaggle of friends all waiting to pile into a FIFA or Bomberman game, this is one 180 entirely in Microsoft's favor. Just make sure they bring their own controllers--unless you want to keep $480 worth of them lying around.

But whether either console can connect to eight or 800, what's really important is how sensually fulfilling each controller is to hold.
