The highlight of each controller
The new generation launched in late 2020 and both Microsoft and Sony have decided to place bets on two versions of their consoles. In this guide we will be listing the best offers. If you are not interested in switching to the next generation at the moment, we also have offers for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
Below we provide a list of the best offers from various stores so you can choose the one that you like best. Keep in mind that due to high demand and less availability some consoles are overpriced, but that may change in the coming weeks.
We also have other guides with legacy controllers as shown above. In this list, we include models like the Xbox 360 and PS3, as well as several older video games that have marked generations.
The offers are listed in order from cheapest to most expensive. Of course, constant price variance can spoil the demand.
Microsoft Xbox One S
If you are the kind of person who prefers to buy games over physical media to get discounts at supermarket, Xbox One S All Digital Edition is not for you. The good news is that the price difference for the traditional Xbox One S is small, and for many it may be more.
Its hardware is exactly the same as the version without Blu-ray player. Hence, it will have exactly the same performance and services as Xbox Game Pass. Compared to the Xbox One X, there is a huge jump in performance. This is more aimed at those who have a Full HD TV or are not interested in playing in 4K.
Sony PlayStation 4 Slim
Do you want the best option from Sony today? So the PS4 Slim is the one you should choose. It costs roughly the same price as the Xbox One S and offers slightly more powerful hardware, allowing you to play more games in Full HD resolution and with a more stable frame rate.
However, the biggest difference to Sony’s console is in the exclusive games, which differ from Microsoft which releases all games for the PC. With PS4 Slim, you can play God of War, Uncharted, Bloodborne, The Last of Us, and many more. Sony has a similar service to Xbox Game Pass, called PlayStation Now, but it is not available in Brazil.
Nintendo Switch
The only Nintendo console on the list, the Nintendo Switch has how to do that A big difference The possibility to be portable and desktop, in addition to having an exclusive library of titles. Another difference is the joysticks, or controls, which can be used in a number of ways.
It also has Nvidia Tegra GPU optimized for Switch. Using the controller on the TV might cause a drop in the frame rate, but it is not sufficient to hinder game play. To compensate, it offers a series of titles like Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Mario Odyssey.
Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
If you prefer Sony consoles, PlayStation 4 Pro is the more powerful choice of the current generation. Even the loss in hardware to competitor Microsoft, the model has high graphics power, as well as exclusive games from Sony. Here it is possible to override games that run in Full HD resolution. Most of the games offer the original Quad HD technology and use the upgrade to reach 4K. There are also some games that run in native 4K resolution.
Regarding the slim model, in addition to strength, it is possible to notice some points in the design, with noticeable diagonal lines and sections, as well as some improvements in the joystick. However, the game library is basically the same. Services, like PlayStation Plus, are also similar to the PS4 Slim.
Microsoft Xbox Series S
We have arrived at the latest generation of consoles and have the Xbox Series S here, which is the most accessible one for those who want to prepare for the future and access all the games that will be released in the coming years. In theory, your hardware is weaker than the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, but since it comes with a more modern architecture, faster processor and memory, in addition to an SSD, we will have better performance.
It delivers a third of the graphics power of the Xbox Series X and costs R $ 2,000, which is a huge difference. If you don’t want to play in 4K, this new console from Microsoft promises games powered by Quad HD at 60fps and even Full HD at 120fps, which is impossible with Xbox One.
Attention: Due to a shortage of inventory, the Xbox Series S is overpriced and should return to normal as Microsoft brings more units to the market.
Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
The PS5 was released in two versions: one standard and the other without a Blu-ray Disc player. Contrary to Microsoft’s strategy, the new PlayStations is completely equal in terms of graphics power and even the size of the SSD is the same. The price difference is only R $ 500 and for some it may not be worth it.
PlayStation 5 sits between Microsoft’s two consoles in terms of strength. It’s 150% more powerful than the Serie S and 20% weaker than the Series X, which costs the same. The advantage of the PS5 is exclusive offerings that shouldn’t win PC releases, like the new God of War that will arrive in 2022.
At the moment, the digital version of PlayStation 5 is missing in the Brazilian market
