If you’re lost on the best option to get, we’ve handpicked three credible options that can play all the games of your dreams. Enjoy!
1. PlayStation 5
What other console is worthy of topping this list other than Sony’s latest premium offering?
Coming in a standard edition or, slightly cheaper, digital edition (which comes without a disc drive),
the PS5 is Sony’s newest PlayStation – and it’s as impressive as you would hope.
Sony has re-imagined the critical parts of the PlayStation experience with the PS5 – from a simpler setup
and new well-thought-out user interface to a revolutionary controller and bonuses for PS Plus members –
and the result is a console that feels like a genuine step up from the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 4 Pro that came before it.
We can’t help but be impressed.
From significant upgrades like the super-fast NVMe SSD and powerful GPU that enable higher frame rates
and ray tracing to subtle touches like the built-in microphone on the controller that can serve as a quick stand-in for a headset,
the PS5 feels like it was built for ease of use as well as pure power.
2. Playstation 4 Pro
Sony has been rocking our minds for a long time.
If you can’t afford the more expensive PS5, the Playstation 4 is a worthy alternative.
The PlayStation 4 Pro was the most powerful console in the PlayStation lineup (until the PlayStation 5 came along),
capable of outputting native and upscaled 4K in games that have been patched to make that possible.
Even games that haven’t explicitly been patched can make something of this console’s greater power – you’ll find images look a little sharper,
and games will overall run more smoothly thanks to the PS4 Pro’s Boost Mode.
Like the standard PS4, this console has an excellent library of games and some fantastic exclusives, as well as Playstation VR support.
The PS4 Pro also offers access to new PS5 titles for the next while, too, such as Spider-Man:
Miles Morales, as many new releases are also cross-platform – but don’t expect this to last.
If you don’t have a 4K HDR TV and super sharp visuals aren’t something that will drastically improve your enjoyment of a game,
then this console might not be worth the extra cash you’ll splash on it, particularly if you already own a standard PS4 console.
But it is a cheaper gateway to 4K gaming than the PS5.
3. NES Classic: For nostalgic people
Need a console that can make you relieve your younger days?
Nintendo got you covered.
They decided to re-release the NES as the NES Classic, a mini-version of the beloved system that kickstarted home console gaming.
Now you can play your favorite childhood games on your modern-day television via HDMI,
and it comes packed with some extra special features like the ability to rewind your gameplay.
You’ll need to be content with only 30 games, including classics like Super Mario Bros.
What’s more is that Nintendo did not make a large quantity, and given how popular the NES Classic was, it quickly sold out at most retailers.
You’re looking to pick it up used or at some astronomical price otherwise.
If you’re looking for a gaming console for the holidays, one of these three will do the job just fine. Happy Holidays!
