FAQs
- What are some popular gaming consoles on the market?
The top gaming consoles available right now are the PlayStation® 5, the Xbox Series X and S, and the Nintendo Switch.
- Which gaming console offers the best graphics?
The Xbox Series X currently has the most powerful hardware, with a 12-teraflop graphics card compared to the PlayStation® 5’s 10.28 teraflops. That means games look clearer and sharper, with better performance at 4K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
- What are the top gaming consoles for multiplayer gaming?
If you want to play online with people from around the world, then the PlayStation® 5 and Xbox Series consoles are a great choice with their range of multiplayer games. But if you’d prefer to play together on the sofa, the Nintendo Switch offers the best local multiplayer options.
- What are the advantages of gaming consoles over PC gaming?
If you just want to sit down and play, then a gaming console is the perfect choice. That’s because you only need to plug it in and turn it on – there are no complicated or time-consuming options and settings to sort out. Once they’re connected to your TV and they’ve downloaded any updates they might need you can get straight to gaming.
- Are gaming consoles compatible with virtual reality games?
The PlayStation® 5 has its very own dedicated virtual reality headset called PlayStation®VR2, while the Nintendo Switch can play games in VR using the Nintendo Labo™ kit. The Xbox Series consoles, however, don’t officially support VR.
