The first reviews for the PlayStation 4 are already here and we have went through most of them to extract the most valuable tidbits to provide our readers with. Here what caught our attention and what you should also know about the PlayStation 4. Stephen Totilo from Kotaku find the PS4 to be a very portable device, one that you could actually put in your backpack and carry it with you. Most of you will probably decide to keep their PS4 consoles at home, but it’s good to know that such a powerhouse doesn’t take up too much space and doesn’t break your arms while carrying: Speaking about Sony’s PlayStation 4 build quality, Richard Mitchell from Joystiq finds the plastic casing to come with a few drabwacks. Here’s what he shared in his review. Referring to the PlayStation controller and its multi-touch touchpad, Stephen finds little use in it, at least not in the initial launch games. What is to be noted about the controller, though, and little known by consumers, is that PS4’s controller comes with a headphone jack that can output game’s audio to the controller-connected headphones. Richard also find the DualShock 4 to be one of the most comfortable gaming console controller he’s ever held in a while. He describes carefully all that has changed versus the previous controller: Stephen goes on saying that you really understand how much of an improvement the PS4 over the PS3 when you connect it to the Internet. The “share” button on the DualShock 4 controller is another nifty tool to make you want to take your experience to the online world. On the other hand, Grant Brunner from ExtremeTech has compiled a few downsides of the PlayStation 4 and some of them seem to be related to the controller’s functionality and another silly, but annoying fact – the PS4 seems to not be able to sit evenly on a table: Richard also dedicates a lot of space in his review to the online part, specifying how social you can get with the PlayStation Network. Storage is another feature that needs to be taken into consideration and Joystiq’s author share his insights in this field, as well: When it comes to software, the same Grant points out a few important drawbacks that I think everybody should know. We’re so used to Xbox losing the software battle that we’re overlooking the fact that the PS4 also has its woes: Matt Peckham from Techland column of Time.com concludes with the following: The conclusion for the PlayStation 4 review from the Polygon staff says it all, combining both strong and weak point of Sony’s latest gaming console to hit the market. My personal opinion after looking through all these reviews is this – if you can wait, then wait until Sony discounts the PlayStation 4. Sure, the PS4 is a great gaming device, but not that great to make you save up money to buy. Heck, you won’t see people lining up for a PS4 like they do for an iPhone or an iPad. Nonetheless, as more awesome games will get released, I’m positive that the PS4 sales will increase, as well.
