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
Compact build, Plain, subtle design, Redesigned DualShock 4 controller is very nice to use, Power use is reasonable when gaming, Decent performance levels for the money
Not totally silent when in the UI or playing a Bluray, Shiny parts of the casing are prone to scratches, Online multiplayer gaming is no longer free, Not backwards compatible, Power use a bit on the high side when in the UI or watching a Bluray, Multimedi
The Sony PlayStation 4 is a well-designed, responsive and connected console that's geared up for a new level of gaming with a decidedly social slant. While the games outed to accompany its launch may not be as eye-poppingly impressive as hoped, we're stil...
Abstract: PS3 vs PS4: price Here's why we're comparing the PlayStation 3 with the all-new PlayStation 4: you can still buy the former. You can still buy games for it and, as we'll find out later, it remains a great Blu-ray and media player. And here's the kicker...
The PlayStation 4 is a compact box full of potential. The games available at launch don't necessarily show off the capabilities of this system to its fullest, but I'm confident that, as new titles join the platform, exciting things will happen.For those l...

Attractive and compact design, Great new controller, Impressive streaming support, Many new features
Most features require PSN connection, PS Plus required for non, F2P multiplayer
The Sony PlayStation 4 feels like a beefed-up PlayStation 3, and that's just fine. It has several new and useful features like sharing gameplay footage and handling multiple users at once, and the DualShock 4 is a fantastic upgrade over the DualShock 3 a...
The day I switched on my PS3 for the first time, I very quickly knew that my days of firing up the PS2 would be severely numbered. With the PS4, I'm not sure that's the case: I suspect I will be going back to the PS3. Early adopters will point to the flu...
The PlayStation 4 is packed with impressive next-gen features. You can play PS4 games on your PlayStation Vita using the magic of Remote Play, which is really useful if someone is using the TV. The console is constantly buffering the last 15 minutes of gameplay, so if you do something amazing, it’s easy to upload a clip of it online. While the camera is £50 extra, all controllers have Move motion
Sony now charges for online gameplay through its PlayStation Plus service at £40 a year, but as that service offers superb, recently-released games for free every month, including Contrast and Resogun on the PlayStation 4, it’s worth paying for. The launch lineup of exclusive games isn’t that strong otherwise: it’s difficult to get excited about a new Killzone title, while the now-delayed Drivecl
Sony really got its act together with the PlayStation 4. It created a console that is markedly more powerful than Xbox One, while also significantly cheaper. It plays host to great big blockbuster games like Battlefield and some incredible indie games ...
With a superpowered graphics processor and more processing oomph than many gaming PCs, the PS4 is capable of stunning visuals and hugely expansive gamesplaying experiences. Its sharing and social experiences add intuitive ways to make you feel a part of a
No DLNA media streaming capabilities from launch. Or CD playback. Or MP3 support. Or 3D Bluray capabilities. Or backwards compatibility with PS3 games
While there is no doubting that the PS4 is an amazing and powerful gaming machine, less attention has been given to its general entertainment talents, at least initially. Sony promises those features in the future, but for now the console feels like a wo...

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...
