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: I must admit that I was a bit underwhelmed when I first saw the PS4 at E3 2013, and later at a demo station in my local Target. While Sony was touting the console's streamlined and stylish form, I was looking at another black box. It was a distinctive bla...
Abstract: W ith the introduction of the Sony PlayStation 4 at Gamescom 2013, it was called the ‘rebirth of the gaming world’. According to its developers, the Sony PS4 is the most powerful game platform ever. The staggering graphics provide a more intense game e...
The first fully redesigned PlayStation in seven long years sports a fresh look, an all-new interface, some unique features, and a much more comfortable controller....

Abstract: The US launch for the PS4 is now upon us, the console launches tomorrow in the US, and at the end of the month in the UK. With that in mind, we went to Sony's central London HQ to get some hands-on time with the console. And, the good news is, there's pl...

Abstract: Forget the games, forget the hype, one of the main features of any games console is the user interface that underpins it all. After all, it's probably the part of the console you'll see the most. And Sony has always presented simple, intuitive menus and h...
Powerful hardware hasn't even reached its full potential, Much-improved DualShock 4 controller, Multitasking allows background downloads, music over games and more, Sharing content is simple, Justifies owning a Vita
Many features still on the way, like Gaikai streaming games, Baffling lack of DLNA and MP3 support
The PlayStation 4 is built on promise and potential. The system that we see in a year from now will likely differ significantly from the launch-day units, just as the games released a year or more from now will better demonstrate the machine's power. Un...

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
On its third birthday, the Sony PlayStation 4 finds itself as part of the front-running console family. It's the one to buy if you find it for a bargain, otherwise the PS4 Slim is the natural (and near-identical) replacement. If you want 4K gaming and ext...

Powerful spec, Great controller, Stylish looks
Lack of exclusive games, Not backwards compatible, Media a bit light
The PlayStation 4 is a fast, great-looking, powerful console at a not-silly price that also packs the best controller that's adorned a PlayStation so far. It has a fair amount of good games of all sizes and price points to play from the off, and its list...
Great new features, Special PSVita and PlayStation camera features, HDMI cable connection, Instant free games and content with Playstation®Plus membership, Superior 1080p graphics on most games, 500GB storage,
Slow connection speeds when connected with WiFi over hardline
I look forward to everything PS4 will have to offer in the future, and I have no doubt that the years to come will be exciting, groundbreaking, and fun...
