The editors liked
The PlayStation 4 serves up dazzling graphics
Runs on a simplified and logical interface and boasts a fantastic controller. It has the upper hand in indie games and can stream a constantly growing list of legacy titles via PlayStation Now. The PS4 makes
Great games
Good value
Improved power efficiency
PS Plus still a great deal
DualShock 4 better than ever
The latest version of the DualShock controller feels excellent and is very responsive
Controller is charged over microUSB
Still plays Blu-rays and DVDs! Graphics look excellent on titles developed for the console
The editors didn't like
The Xbox One has a slight edge in non-gaming entertainment features such as streaming content and media portal apps
Optical audio removed
No 4K Bluray player
Menu system tries to look modern
But really feels clumsy
Will not let you access content from your network
Design is kind of misleading
And throws the first-time user a curve when trying to load discs

It's early days for the console that Sony will carry through for the next five to ten years, and while there's a lot that it has going for it in the gaming world, it's in the multimedia side of things that it feels Sony has failed to carry the torch left...

The inevitable question when you've got two console launches so close together is which way to jump. A console investment isn't a casual thing, either from a fiscal perspective or for how long it's expected each system will last, after all.I'll note again...

Yes, absolutely. It's a bit of a marketing gimmick, but the PS4 really is for the players.If you're a gamer who plays games, loves games and only uses a console for games to game your gamey face off with, you should definitely buy the PS4. It really knows...
