Black Friday also attracts a lot of players for a special sale. While retailers generally keep the prices of the Playstation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch very stable, good deals are finally Friday!
In addition, the consoles of this time of year are also available in packs with the best games from "Fifa 19" to "Red Dead Redemption 2" to "Spider-Man".
The Slim version of the Playstation 4 with a terabyte of memory and "Red Dead Redemption 2" is available regularly, for example from 340 euros. The Xbox One S (1 TB) with "Fifa 19" and two controllers from 285 euros. Black Friday, similar offers could be even cheaper.
The question remains: which current consoles do I need to buy?
The duel Playstation vs. Xbox
Technically, the differences between PlayStation 4 (from 285 euros) and Xbox One (from 200 euros) are not particularly large. It depends on the number and quality of the exclusive games. Although titles like "FIFA" or "Call of Duty" are available everywhere, there are other games only for one of the two consoles.
The Sony Playstation has clearly the advantage. Hits like "Spider-Man", "God of War" or "Horizon Zero Dawn" currently only have "Forza Horizon 4".
Important: If you have an UltraHD compatible TV at home, you should not purchase the cheaper basic version of the corresponding console. Only Playstation Pro (from 330 euros) and Xbox One X (from 400 euros) provide video signals exploiting the superior resolution of 4K TVs.
Special case switch
A special position takes the Nintendo console switch (from 300 euros). Although it does not offer UltraHD graphics, it can also be used on the go. Your battery lasts up to three hours of fun. This makes the console ideal for those who do not want to miss "Super Mario" and "FIFA" on the move.
By the way: even those looking for cheap games can find what they are looking for on Black Friday. A "god of war" at 20 euros? Good possible!
