Input, Output

Being able to play online has become an important and highly-requested part of any setup. That ranges from the most popular brands like Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo all the way to the world of PCs. Everyone wants to be able to get online with their friends or just against another person for that competitive edge. Every brand offers some kind of online service, and many titles offer a cross-platform ability to play on one system against someone playing on another. This type of service is growing in popularity despite the battle for quality exclusives. Several of these gaming consoles also offer disc support for physical media including Blu-ray discs. However, several offer a digital-only option that requires an internet connection to download entertainment directly to your hard drive, another trend that is growing in popularity. Just be certain of what your gaming wants are, because there is an option that will check those boxes.

Many consoles aim for the screen resolution of 4K, or Ultra HD, but there are others that justify themselves at 1440p, 1080p and even at 720p for select handheld models. Finding the right definition can be a large factor in finding the right system. Some child-friendly systems tend to have lower screen resolutions and the more expensive systems have higher capabilities for serious players seeking an immersive experience. These consoles are designed for the couch and the TV, not the PC experience with a specific monitor, so your titles can be enjoyed and played with a group of friends or family. Although each system has its own library of exclusive titles, each company has different benefits and drawbacks when it comes to selection. Some systems are stronger with past games in backwards compatibility, while others excel in single or multiplayer modes. Some companies focus on family-oriented media above anything else, while others focus on grittier entries that are rated for adults. Making the right choice can be beyond difficult, so we provided a useful video game console buying guide to provide some guidance to point you in the right direction.
