Community Review: The PlayStation 4

Alright, since there is a distinct lack of new video games on the horizon, I thought it might be fun to talk about the consoles themselves: where they’re at right now. Are you happy? What would you like to see change? Let’s start with the PS4.

My thoughts on the PS4 so far? Well, it’s my goto console. It’s the console I spend the most time playing. It’s replaced the Xbox 360 this generation in that it’s the console I play almost all multiplatform games on. Mainly because I’m a big fan of the new controller.

The PS4 has gotten a lot of things right.

— Firmware updates come quickly.

— The user interface is rapid, simple and functional, everything is easy to find.

— PlayStation Plus is amazing.

The PS4 is just a simple, functional device that does video games really, really well.

My complaints?

— The PlayStation Network is down far too often.

— Not enough must-play games. Not yet.

— Took way too long to get the Media Server stuff up and running.

But overall, at this point in the game, the PS4 is the console I usually recommend to friends.

What are your thoughts so far?
