Man this is serious next-gen
And next-gen is seriously great. It goes without saying-but I'll say it anyway-that the graphics and performance on this sucker are badass. You've been seeing trailers and gameplay footage of this stuff for nigh on two years
Gorgeous
Compact Design
Amazing Controller
Deep Social Integration

The PS4 is definitely a great gaming machine in the tradition of the PS3 before it
But its new functionality comes off as a little half-baked. ThATT#39
S totally understandable for a launch console
But that doesn't make it any less disappointing. Sharing vi

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...
Cheap, Great for children, Lightweight, Provides nearly the same functionality as the DualShock 4
Awkward to hold if you're used to a normal DualShock 4 controller, Lacks a few advanced DualShock 4 features, Not made for adults with larger hands, Not available in a wireless model

Abstract: If you listen closely, you can hear it: the eye of the console storm. We are between technologies and the big hardware makers know it. It's a move from an optical-disk-based, high-heat standalone device. To paraphrase William Gibson: the future is here, i...
Navigating the UI feels fast and intuitive, Tons of great exclusive games, Compact size makes the console surprisingly portable
Gamepad battery life is still short, WiFi speeds can be frustratingly slow, System storage interface can be problematic and inaccurate
The PlayStation 4 has always focused on doing one thing incredibly well: playing video games. Two and a half years after hitting store shelves, a few unforeseeable issues have cropped up, but the PS4 is still the best console experience money can buy...

Abstract: It's really about damn time that Sony and/or a third party decided to release a PS4 media remote of some type. Yes, it's not all that difficult to pick up a DualShock 4 and control your console, but there's something to be said for a dedicated remote to h...
Abstract: The Xbox One gained some much-needed interface improvements and dropped to $400 (sans Kinect motion-and-sound detector) to match the PS4's price, while Sony's system gained some notable exclusives with games like Infamous: Second Son and The Last of Us: R...
