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

Abstract: We're now over a year into the life of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 ; a year in which the PS4 has surged ahead on sales, but the Xbox One has seen a turnaround in the way it's seen and, potentially, its fortunes. No other console generation has seen two...

The PlayStation 4 is a beautiful console in a physical sense and the most accessible console I have ever used. It tries to help and automate as much as possible of the tasks involved in the background of running and using a console. It has many inherent b...

Heaps of top-notch games, can play HDR games (if you have a compatible TV), finally adds media and app/streaming capabilities absent at launch, holds masses of future potential
Media streaming can be fussy, 500GB storage insufficient, Store download prices often absurdly high, no 4K video, PS4 Slim and Pro put question mark over this original console
One year on the PlayStation 4 has more than shown its worth: it's the choice console for gamers. Although some of 2014's biggest gaming highlights are the re-visiting of Grand Theft Auto 5 and The Last of Us, there's also success in Sony exclusives...
Incredibly quiet, Much more energy efficient, Looks lovely, Easier to expand HDD space
Controller analogue sticks still not durable enough, The PS4 Pro makes this a tough sell to dedicated fans
After a year, the PS4 still has the sleekest, most powerful hardware, the most intuitive interface and an improved line-up of apps and games. It has streaming capabilities that Microsoft can't match, with more to come. What it doesn't have is a killer ap...

The Xbox One has a slight edge in non-gaming entertainment features such as streaming content and media portal apps
The PlayStation 4's beautiful graphics, smart interface, blazing performance, near-perfect controller and better indie offerings give it a slight edge over the Xbox One as both consoles enter their second year....

Abstract: With June approaching - which will bring some changes to the Xbox One platform - I thought it would be interesting to sit down and think to myself, out of the two consoles which one would I recommend buying now that the dust has settled? *This would have ...
What I really like about the PS4 is that it's a Games machine foremost and you can really tell! There has certainly been a lot of thought that has gone into the design, not just the accessories, but also the system as a whole.The interface for example is...
The Sony PS4 is a good looking and powerful console with fantastic hardware. We like the new DualShock controller and smooth interface. It's also cheaper than the Xbox One but a lack of killer titles mean it's probably worth hanging back for a while, grab...
Simple set-up and interface, Games look and sound great, Good selection of TV, film and music apps, Decent AV performance
No 3D Blu-ray, CD or DLNA support, Not as good as a dedicated disc player
Sony has been clever with the PS4. Gaming is the theatre in which it wants to win the next-gen console battle, and on this evidence we think it might just have the first victory in the bag.It's undoubtedly the PS4's strongest string, which may be no great...
