Two distinct console variants – the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro

After a hugely successful run, the original PlayStation 4 console has now been phased out. In its place have come the PS4 Slim and the more advanced PS4 Pro. The Slim is identical to the original in many ways, but, as the name suggests, comes in a more streamlined package. The Pro improves on the Slim in terms of graphics and processing power, but tends to retail for between £70 and £100 more expensive. However, in November 2017, around a year after the Pro launched, there was a significant cut in price to the Pro, making it a viable alternative to the Slim for most. At certain times, there’s little to choose between the Pro and a 1TB Slim in terms of price.

It’s worth noting that the Pro is beginning to become a bit scarce. Sony haven’t commented on when they may start discontinuing the PS4 models, unlike Microsoft, who have already confirmed that two of the three Xbox One models are being discontinued. That being said, stock of the Pro seems to be slowly dwindling. If you’re keen to get the most powerful version of the PS4, you might not have much longer to do so.

You can read a full breakdown of what sets the PS4 Pro apart from the PS4 Slim in the section below this one.

100 million players can’t be wrong

If you’re looking for a testament to the PS4’s success at bringing together gamers of all types, look no further than the eye-watering sales record, which now stands at more than 100 million units sold worldwide. This number puts the PS4 behind only the PlayStation 2 in terms of the best-selling home consoles ever, more than the enormously successful Wii and original PlayStation. Are you ready to join them?

The Dualshock 4 Controller

There’s no part of the PlayStation family that’s more iconic than the DualShock controller, which bears remarkable similarities to the controller that many players grasped upon their very first time playing on a PlayStation.  However, while the appearance may be roughly the same, the DualShock 4 v2 (replacing the v1, which came with original PS4 consoles), boasts several improvements under the hood.

A track pad, light bar for motion tracking and a share button for in-game streaming are just three of the innovations added to the controller that many consider to be perhaps the best ever – on any console.

A world class library of games

The PS4 has a good claim to have the best library of games ever assembled for a single console. Hugely successful exclusives such as The Last of Us Part II, Death Stranding, God of War, Spider-Man, and Horizon Zero Dawn are joined by massively popular multiplatform titles such as Fortnite, FIFA 20, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and many others. No matter if you want multiplayer mayhem or immersive single player adventures, the PS4 has enough to keep you busy for months on end. PS4 is also the only console you can currently play the latest viral gaming sensation, Fall Guys!
