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

Streamlined UI, Excellent controller, Streaming-service apps (such as Netflix) don't require PlayStation Network subscription to use, Handy guest mode for playing with friends
No DLNA support (at time of review), Antiquated friending process, HDCP-locked HDMI output, Short controller battery life, PS3 games don't work
It's still early days in terms of game selection, but the PS4 debuts as a commanding console with a better, streamlined UI that fronts solid hardware. A much-improved controller and well-executed sharing and social features make it a winner. ...
Abstract: However, Microsoft has since rescinded most, if not all these controversial policies. This combined with the fact that neither the PS4 nor the Xbox One are backwards compatible and won't play PS3 or Xbox 360 games makes knowing which console is best a tri...
