Christmas is coming, we have survived Black Friday – we, our wallets maybe not so much – and some of you will have taken the opportunity to finally get PlayStation 4, without a doubt the most successful console of this generation. Many of you will already have it in your possession.
But there will also be players who can’t make up their minds, who don’t have it all together on whether they should ask the Three Wise Men, Santa Claus or Saint Peter for a PS4 this holiday season. The proximity of the future PlayStation 5 may weighyou may not be sure if it’s worth buying Sony’s desktop at this point.
In this article you We offer five reasons to buy PlayStation 4 this Christmas. We could offer many more, without a doubt thousands come to mind, but we are going to try to summarize it, which is not a plan to write Don Quixote either.
Reason 1: Exclusive gaming pacing doesn’t stop
We could say that PlayStation 4 is at its best. You only have to see the number and level of exclusives that it has received in 2018, those that it received in 2017 and those that are still to be released.
Focusing solely on this year, PS4 owners we had tripletMelchor, Gaspar and Baltasar, three true kings who have worked magic on our consoles and we have only been able to enjoy them on PlayStation 4 and its Pro model: God of War, Detroit: Become Human and Marvel’s Spider-Man.
Sony has shown that it has two teams in top form as QuanticDream and Santa Monica Studios to release two real great games, plus the ability to spend the money to get Insomniac Games has exclusively brought one of the best superhero video games in history with Marvel’s Spider-Man. Quality and variety that has given us hours of fun with titles that do not stop collecting awards.
They are not the only ones, nor can we forget Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, Ni No Kuni 2 (exclusive on consoles), the next MediEvil, great releases for PlayStation VR such as Firewall: Zero Hour, Astro Bot Rescue Mission or Moss.
Reason 2: The games that are yet to come
In addition to having an impressive catalog forged in the last five years with gems such as Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Bloodborne, Gran Turismo Sport, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Horizon Zero Dawn or Infamous: Second Son, what remains to come is tide and It has people behind full guarantees…
Kojima Productions with Death StrandingNaughty Dog with The Last of Us: Part IISucker Punch with Ghost of TsushimaAverage Molecule withdreamsBend Studios with days goneLondon Studios with Blood & Truth… games that you can only play on PlayStation 4.
Even that list of future exclusives may have to add more members in the coming months. If someone thinks that PS4 already has little to offer, they should look back and also look forward and then think very well if there really aren’t enough reasons for someone to put a PS4 under the Christmas tree…
Reason 3: All your friends play PS4 online
This third reason is very powerful, possibly the main reason for many to have bought a PlayStation 4 back in the day or to have it on their wish list.
Nowadays the online component in a game is everything, and the great successes, the most played titles of the year have a strong multiplayer component: Fortnite, FIFA 19, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Red Dead Online…
Needless to say that the fun is multiplied by 1000 when you can enjoy these games with your friends, so buying the console that your colleagues have is always the most logical option. PlayStation 4 is the best-selling console in the world, doubling the figures compared to Xbox One, and if we look at the Spanish market the difference is even more evident.
It is true that playing online will require a subscription to playstation plus for most games, but the advantages offered by this service (great free titles for PS4, PS3, PS Vita and PSVR, additional discounts, cloud storage…) make it definitely worth it to enjoy games as they deserve. games of the moment, with the best company.
Reason 4: The star of this Christmas for the social game
PlayStation 4 is, in our opinion, the best console to enjoy in a group, so having it in those future meetings with friends and family is more than essential and can prevent someone from proposing to bring out the bingo or that you have to swallow the umpteenth program of public television varieties with singers you thought were dead years ago.
And it is that the PS4 catalog includes a wide variety of games to enjoy multiplayer. Either a FIFA or a PES If you are a football fan, a SingStar with various microphones (those of the Smartphone are worth) to bawl at home, any split-screen arcade driving… and especially the catalog of Play Link.
Because this new way of playing offers us a good catalog of Titles thought to be controlled from the Smartphoneso the psychological barrier that many people have with the complexity of the Dualshock 4 – with all those levers and buttons I get confused, how many times have we heard that – simply disappears, and in this way we will see that people who have not approached never a video game is encouraged to throw a It has been you!, Knowledge is Power, a Frantic or try the latest to arrive in the PlayLink family: Melbits World.
Pull PlayLink at these parties when people come home and you’ll see how the night improves greatly.
Reason 5: The price of the console and its games
We end with a fairly obvious reason. The advantage of buying a console with 5 years on the market is that its price will have been lowered and we will also enjoy those small adjustments that are always made to your hardware in the form of lower consumption chips or better features.
Although it is possible that it will still drop a little more in the coming months, now we can find PS4 for a fairly competitive price, between 250 and 350 euros depending on the model and the packs, and for the Christmas campaign they usually get very tempting offers.
And not only the console, there is a catalog of huge games that have been on sale for a long time, not only those of the program playstation hits with gems like Until Dawn, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience, Bloodborne, Driveclub, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor or The Last of Us: Remastered for 19.99 euros.
Also in the Store we can get excellent sales and get outstanding titles at ridiculous prices, with even greater offers if we have the PS Plus subscription.
Conclution
In short, in this article we have offered you more than enough reasons for you to understand that PlayStation 4 is a console with a glorious past, a brilliant present and a more than promising future.
With a huge catalog of games, the price of most of its successes will allow us to enjoy the great titles of the generation without spending too much money, and enjoy them with our friends online.
In addition, PS4 can be the star of Christmas thanks to PlayLink, and between nougat and shortbread you can enjoy its great exclusives and also the best third party games.
It may be that in a couple of years we will have PlayStation 5 in stores, but in the meantime enjoying PS4 is a great idea, and if you still do not have it in your possession, you have time to include it in your letter to the Three Wise Men or fool Dad Noel and tell you that you have behaved well. It still hangs…
