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

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...
Abstract: 1. Users will not be able to connect an external hard drive to the PS4 to extend the storage2. PS4 does not support dynamic themes as they currently exist on the PlayStation 3 system3. The PS4 does not support audio CDs4. Users cannot rename their onlin...
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...

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...
