It can be difficult to decide which game console to buy. There are so many brands out there, it may be confusing to figure out what consoles are current and worth looking into. Thankfully, our Softonic Solutions community has voted on the best consoles are out there right now! Here are some of their picks:

5. PlayStation Vita

For a handheld console, the PS Vita has a surprisingly large selection of games. Along with that, you can access PSNow wherever you have Wi-Fi. It’s one of the best portable consoles out right now, and definitely worth looking into if you’re looking for something portable.

4. Xbox One S

The Xbox One S is reasonably priced, and undoubtedly a strong contender for the best home console. The Xbox One has many games that are exclusive only to itself and PC, making it a great as an alternative platform to some of your PC favorites, such as Ori and the Blind Forest, and most of the Halo series.

3. Nintendo Switch

This gaming system was revolutionary by being both a handheld and home console. Fans of indie games will love this system, as Nintendo has focused heavily on allowing indie companies to make games for the Switch. It’s also great for taking on the go, since it can play fully detailed home console games wherever!

2. Xbox 360

Despite its age, the Xbox 360 is still a viable gaming device, with some classic games that you won’t be able to access as easily on newer consoles. Although the Xbox One is backwards-compatible, the Xbox 360 has a lot of charm that’s hard to look past. If you’re looking for something a little more old school, than the 360 is the way to go.

1. PlayStation 4 Pro

Not only does PlayStation carry some of the best games available, but the PlayStation Network is one of the best gaming services to date. The PS4 Pro lets you access a variety of applications and games available for your system, with great online functionality.
