The next gen is here! Or half of it, anyway. Sony's PS4 has come in first the haphazard sprint to the new-console finish line. And yeah, it's pretty awesome. It's the PlayStation Freakin' 4. The first new Sony console since 2006. A gaming station for gamers who like to game.

The first time I heard about the PlayStation 4 (PS4)was on the 20th of February, 2013. Sony had announced the PS4 and claimed it would cover the ‘future of PlayStation'. From then on, I knew I had to get my hands on this new device. I acquired the PS4 during the month of January 2014.

Seven years have passed since the PlayStation 3 came out. That is a long time in this industry. Think about it, so much has happened in the meantime, but the PlayStation 3 has remained relevant for the entire period.

Powerful hardware; Excellent PS4 controller; Amazing graphics & physics rendering; TV apps support; Multitasking; Price

Crippled media functionality; Power consumption; Few great games; Some user interface issues

We couldn't afford a PS4 straight out of pocket so HSN was the way to go. The system has been awesome. Great quality. Love the package deal we got.

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.

Sony's shiny new console offers speedy gameplay options, but struggles as an all-round entertainment box. Just as with the Xbox One , there's a lot of interesting technology under the hood of the Playstation 4, but ultimately that matters very little indeed.

If the PlayStation 4 is any indication of the quality of the next generation of gaming, then it was worth the wait after all. I'm writing this review seven years to the day after Sony brought the PlayStation 3 to the United States, a console I swore I would never buy after Sony revealed the...

For a console that sold out locally in its first 24 hours, it's fair to call the PS4 launch a resounding success. Is this Sony's best console ever?
