I purchased this product from Flipkart as it was a little cheaper there and I bought it because I’m a huge game lover and to play games I needed a good console.
A lot can change in a few years. This is the third time we’ve sat down and had a good, hard think about the PlayStation 4 since its 2013 launch. Back then the launch line-up was fairly stifled, with clangers like Knack not elevating the console to true new-gen heights. But on the advent of Uncharted 4’s release in 2016, and with PlayStation VR incoming, the PS4 may well hold the console gaming crown; although Xbox One’s Halo series, among other exclusives, ensures the fight is heated between the two gaming front-runners.
Not that it’s all just about games. Consoles aren’t what they used to be: they’re a whole lot more. In the two-and-a-half years since launch we’ve seen a glut of PS4 software updates - the latest v3.5 handles media and cloud storage(latter for subscription-based PlayStation Plus account holders only) - that see Sony’s console closer aligned with Microsoft’s premise than before. It’s not the media hub it could be, but that may be addressed in coming months.
