Video Game Console
Those of us who have been in the video game world for a long time remember our first console with a lot of love. Hours and hours in front of the television, regular a game until exhaustion or exchange games with your friends to try new titles are some of the things that were made in the nineties, one of the golden ages of video games.
The paradigm of video game consoles has changed in recent times, from game centers to interactive centers that bring together a large number of applications, in addition to serving to play. If you still do not have any, you will probably wonder which is the console that best suits you and your needs, since each one offers different options.
In this article, we will try to help you choosing your first video game console, based on certain criteria, such as age, what you want to use it for or your game catalogs.
What video game console to choose?
The time has come, you have saved money and you want to buy a video game console. Before making a hasty decision and letting yourself be carried away by the hype of the moment, take a few minutes to reflect on which console is best for you. Below we leave a series of tips to choose the first console and do not regret it.
Playstation 4
The console with more sales in the USA has a good number of exclusive titles (such as Bloodborne, Horizon Zero Dawn or Uncharted), as well as being able to be used as the leading interactive center. If you do not have a good computer, and you are looking for a place where, in addition to playing, you can enjoy services such as Netflix or YouTube, the Playstation 4 is a great option. Look at its exclusive catalog before deciding, and keep in mind that Playstation 4 is a platform focused on a more adult player, as can be seen in the PEGI (age rating) of its exclusive titles: focused for people of more than 16 years in its immense majority. So, we personally, do not recommend this game console if you are under 16 since it has few video games for children.
In addition to its exclusives, the Sony platform has all the multiplatform games of the market, so it is one more point in its favor.
Xbox One
In the previous generation, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 competed for face to face for being the king of the consoles. However, the new Microsoft console has been relegated to a third place (after the departure of Nintendo Switch) due to the lack of exclusives. As in PlayStation 4, it has a large number of applications that make it a beautiful interactive center. If you’re a fan of high resolution, with Xbox One X you can enjoy your favorite games in 4K, so if you have a TV that supports this technology, do not hesitate and get an Xbox One X: the results are incredible.
Another point in favor of Xbox is its powerful Game Pass. If you have not enjoyed jewelry like Mad Max, Metal Gear Solid V or Gears of War, you can play real games for only 10 euros a month. If you have never had a Microsoft video game console, this service is almost essential.
Nintendo Switch
The new Nintendo platform is breaking all sales records and is that its concept of hybrid console (can be played as a desktop and laptop) place it as one of the most attractive consoles on the market. With a catalog of multiplatform titles that grow day after day, and the classic Nintendo exclusive sagas (Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros.), is a great first console candidate for the smallest of the house or for any player that already has a PC in which to play multiplatform and want an all-terrain console. If you get this console, do not forget to look at the best Nintendo Switch games.
Family Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo notebook is closing its market stage, but its extensive catalog, its portability and its unique way of playing make it the most attractive console for the youngest of the house. With games like Pokémon saga or Professor Layton, this console is the most appropriate if you do not spend much at home and want to play anywhere.
