Sony has dominated the videogame market over the last decade with itsPlayStation 4andPlayStation 5consoles.
So, what exactly makes these consoles so special?
Better yet, which console is superior between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5?
Now, performance-wise this may seem like an obvious choice.
What is PlayStation 4?
The PlayStation 4 is Sony’s fourth-generation PlayStation console, which was released in 2013.
It sold 117 million units during its seven-year run in the spotlight.
As a result, it is one of the best-selling consoles of all time.
What is PlayStation 5?
The PlayStation 5 is Sony’s latest PlayStation console released in 2020.
As of April 2023, the PlayStation 5 has sold over 38 million units worldwide.
There are two versions available: the standard PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition.
It’s finally time to find out.
The PlayStation 4, on the other hand, is limited to 60 Hz regardless.
Evidently, these are what deliver the most immersive and detailed picture when gaming.
The PlayStation 5 controller is significantly thicker than the PS4 controller.
And while we believe most people would agree, we prefer the PlayStation 4’s nimble and streamlined design.
The PS5 Dual Sense rattles your hands so much that it almost hinders my ability to play.
Rather than adding to my experience, it detracts from it.
Nonetheless, we’ll take the PlayStation 4 controller over the PS5’s any day of the week.
The PlayStation 5 will cost around $650, while the PlayStation 4 will still cost around $380.
