PlayStation is the very first console game. PS offers better build quality controllers, so many games to play, reasonable price which gets PS an edge over its competitors. If you are planning to buy a new PS, then I’ll suggest you to wait for the launch of PS 5. As there is not much price difference between PS4 and PS5.

So in this case PS 5 will be a ‘value for money’ deal. The reason behind the value for money deal is that PS 5 comes with a better design, better quality controller, a lot of exclusive PS 5 games and support for all PS 4 games. So clearly PS 5 is going to be a better deal if you are planning to purchase a new PlayStation. So let’s wait till the launch of PS 5 and see what else it has to offer.
