The Nintendo 2 switch came and it is already making waves in the console space. I have tested the latest Nintendo hybrid pocket since launch and absolutely love the many modernization it offers compared to the original switching.
Given this, the PlayStation 5 still seated on our handbook at the best gaming console in 2025 – by hand a list based on my personal testing. Although to switch 2 a little more early to ensure its exact place, it undoubtedly does not reach the first place.
This probably leaves you the question of what PS5 is so special, not only compared to Nintendo Switch 2, but also other major competing consoles such as Xbox Series X and Series Series S. Here are the biggest reasons for which it is now number one.
It offers perfect comprehensive performance
The Nintendo 2 switch is easily a more portable console, but PS5 wins when it comes to raw performance. This is a fantastic comprehensive, fast -loading, smooth karustat and supporting high -class graphic features such as Ray Tracing and Visuals Dersolution 4K.
This is much more powerful than the cheaper Xbox S series, and even exceeds the Xbox X series in most real scripts – despite the fact that it was a little weaker than Behemoth Microsoft on paper when it comes to processor and GPU speed. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2For example, the PS5 is more smooth than in the X series, and this is not the only game where it is.
Most headings also offer the opportunity to switch between “performance” and “quality” modes, and the first aimed at 60 frames per second, and the second reached 30 frames per second with 4K resolution. I personally always choose a higher Fragerat here, but those from the bigger eye for details or one of the best gaming TVs are also good.
Loading fast with Wi-Fi 6 capabilities (if you have a compatible router, that is), and 1 TV of the inner storage location found in the new PS5 SLIM model should be more than enough for most game libraries. If this is not the case, you can easily pick up any of the best SSD PS5 or rely on one of the many cheap external hard drives.
This all leads to a beautiful, simple game experience that is worth the cost of 499.99 / £ 479.99 (or $ 449.99 / £ 389.99 for the console option).
You play with one of the best controllers around
PS5 comes complete with the Dualsense Wireless Controller – and what a controller! It takes all well about the already convincing Dualshock 4 to new heights, with a capital design that not only looks smooth and modern, but also feels great in the hands.
This is convenient for long sessions (especially compared to Joy-Con 2 controllers), with a sign and practical buttons that are easy to pick up and play. Unique adaptive triggers are used in interesting ways, whether it will mimic the unique sense of each weapon in Last of us, part 1 either add extra weight to the platform to Astro Bot.
Paired with a detailed haptic feedback, you have the perfect gamepow for everything: from your legs for several ammunition Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to fully immerse themselves in an atmospheric adventure like Silent hill 2.
Competitors such as the Xbox wireless controller are still very good, don’t understand me wrong, but they are nowhere as innovative or exciting as Dualsense, even almost five years after their original debut.
The only transparent area where the controller lacks is the gloomy battery life. In most situations, it lasts about six hours, which makes me fight for the charger a little more often than I would like. However, this is just a minor quarrel in the face of the perfect platform.
Exclusions are over -winning
You can’t talk about PS5 without affecting the exclusive PS5 consoles that have a pretty reputation. Even with phenomenal names like Star blade and Horizon forbidden West currently Available on PC, PS5 is still offering the best way to play them.
While Sony is particularly known for cinematic experiences as The god of the war of RagnorakLast of us, part 1, and Last of us, part 2, reconstructedDig a little deeper, and you will find that there is really something for everyone in the exclusive library. Gran Turismo 7 Offers the best in your classroom management experience, with piles of content and incredibly similar to life.
The soul of the demon This is a great way to scratch the itch for a complex fight while The ghost of the cut off director of Tsusima and Ronin’s rise Offer two different historical adventures. Meanwhile, Astro Bot This is a fantastic platformer like the free console package Astro Game Hall.
New issues like Death 2: on the beach Continue to strengthen the exclusive library and with similar The ghost yotei On the way, PS5 owners have a lot to wait.
Better yet, the PS4 reliable return compatibility also gives you access to the huge library of some best PS4 games. If you desperately want to play something like BleedingYou just aren’t going to get this experience anywhere.
