Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4)
Two years into its life cycle and the Sony PlayStation 4 has definitely reached its stride. The eighth-generation game system packs the same impressive power, excellent DualShock 4 controller, and nearly identical interface it had when the system launched, and remains a strong, compelling package.
Attractive, compact design; DualShock 4 feels much better than the Sixaxis or DualShock 3 controllers before it; Great streaming support; Many new features
Most features require a PlayStation Network connection; Non-free-to-play multiplayer requires a PS Plus subscription; DualShock 4 lightbar can't be turned off
