Which gaming consoles are out there? How to choose the right one?

The first step in finding the right console for you, or for your kids, is understanding your needs, whether that is casual, fun gaming for children or serious gaming for eager enthusiasts. Be sure to look into your TV capabilities, a 4K enabled TV allows you more options when picking your console for the very best viewing experience. Sony and Microsoft offer a couple of variants to their gaming consoles, with the first a slim, compact version while the other a performance pusher, focused on delivering top of the line gaming experience. PS4 Slim and Xbox One S are ideal for users of younger age groups, not only are they slimmer, more compact but also more accessible in terms of price range. For the serious gamers looking to utilise 4K resolution gaming, the Xbox One X (native 4K) and the PS4 Pro are more ideal options. These consoles pack in power and graphics to ensure a truly marvellous and immersive experience.

The PS vs Xbox battle has raged on for a number of years now, but the actual decision often comes to personal preferences and game ecosystems, whether that’s Xbox games or PS games. If you own a bunch of Xbox 360 games, the Xbox One offers backward compatibility for a large number of titles, meaning your old games will still work on your new system. Online gaming is on the rise across the globe, and this is a major factor in deciding between the consoles. While the PS4 offers Playstation Plus and the Xbox offers Live Gold membership, both consoles support a massive amount of titles in the online gaming world, including console games such as Call of Duty, FIFA and Fortnite. Another aspect consumers consider is the look, feel and design of the system as well as the controller. The ergonomic comfort of the controller is absolutely essential to ensure long term usage. In terms of accessories, Playstation takes the edge, offering a VR headset and motion controller to enhance the gaming experience.

Which gaming accessories should you get?

When you buy a new console, it is important to think of the gaming accessories you may need, to ensure you can enjoy your favourite games the right way, straight out of the box. To make this simple, we’ve broken down the accessories into three simple categories, the essentials, the useful extras and the potentials. The essentials include an Xbox or PS online membership, a set of controllers and a play and charge kit for the Xbox controller, to ensure you can play uninterrupted. These are often bundled with the system itself to offer you the best deals. Useful extras we recommend are a headset with microphone for easy communication while online gaming, and the Playstation VR setup for the enthusiasts who want to experience the latest technology. Potentials include innovative controllers such as racing wheels, motion controllers or remote controls for your console, which offer new, fun ways to interact with your games.
