EXTRAVAGANT TITLE SURE TO BE
DIFFERENT. HERE WE’LL COVER MOST
EVENTUALITIES TO HELP YOU DECIDE
WHICH WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU.
Best-selling When it comes to what
is the best-selling games console, it’s
worth specifying under what terms we
mean. If we’re talking quantifiable alltime
numbers, for instance, then with
a total of 155 million units sold, the
PS2 would be the out and out winner.
Similarly, though, if you’re referring to
which console out of the major three
currently on the market has sold the
most, then Sony’s PlayStation is still
leading the pack – PS4 has sold 96.8
million units compared to 41 million
Xbox One consoles, and 34.74 million
Nintendo Switch consoles at the time
of writing.

Best for budget Of course, for as
fun as it can be, gaming is sometimes
also a costly endeavour. After all, if you
want to stay on top of all the major game
releases that cost £40 a time, the price
soon adds up. If you’re wondering what
the best games console is if you’re on a
tight budget, the Xbox One is a safe bet.
Not just because it’s currently priced the
lowest compared to the PS4 and Nintendo
Switch, but because by signing up for its
Xbox Game Pass service, you instantly gain
access to over 100 top-tier games for just
£7.99 a month. It’s great value and will
cover you for most of the year.
