The Sony PS4 is a good looking and powerful console with fantastic hardware. We like the new DualShock controller and smooth interface. It's also cheaper than the Xbox One but a lack of killer titles mean it's probably worth hanging back for a while, grabbing after a price drop.
2. Xbox One

Xbox One is an imposing new entry to the range of digital entertainment gadgets and offers a glimpse of the future. While implementation leaves a lot to be desired at this early stage, many of the performance issues are likely to be software based and fixable via updates further down the line. If your aspirations are greater than traditional gaming, Xbox One might just be worth believing in.

As Blu-ray players go, the original PS3 was competitively priced. With a slimmer profile, lower price and lower power consumption, the PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB) is arguably the one to beat. Factor in games, social networking features such as PlayStation Home, music and custom video playback, web surfing, and picture browsing, and this may be the best-value Sony game system yet.
5. Xbox 360

It's hard not to be impressed by the Xbox 360. With its high-def output, beautiful wireless controllers and amazing graphical prowess, it's a gamer's dream. Take into account all the additional functionality (Media Center Extender, Xbox Live Arcade, built-in Breville sandwich toaster) and it's an absolute steal. You can either buy this now, or wait for Sony to come good on its promises for PS3. I know which I'd choose.
