Sony Playstation 4 Pro £335 / stuff.tv/ps4pro
Yes, the PS5 is coming… but for now, the Playstation 4 is the best gaming platform around – which makes the PS4 Pro the best of the best. Games optimised for the console look stunning on a 4K HDR TV, and are substantially improved by the extra grunt inside this slightly bigger machine. Sure, it can’t match the Xbox One X for sheer power or resolution, but it makes up for that with an impressive line-up of games – including Death Stranding, God of War and Dreams – and VR support.

The system for console gamers who have a 4K TV and want the best catalogue of games on offer
Nintendo Switch £280 / stuff.tv/nintendoswitch
Nintendo’s console earned a promotion in our list after it impressed us with a growing list of fantastic games. Plus, no other device here offers the joy of portable gaming. Train journeys will never be boring again.

This 2-in-1 console is the real deal
Microsoft Xbox One X from £349 / stuff.tv/xboxonex
This is the most powerful console here, capable of producing stunning 4K visuals, but it doesn’t have the line-up of games to usurp the PS4 Pro from top spot. Maybe the new Xbox Series X will change all that…?
