Modern Consoles

Current platforms and active ecosystems defining how games are played today (mid 2000s-present).

These systems feature online services, digital storefronts, live updates, and long lifecycle support.

Home & Hybrid Consoles

  • PlayStation 4: The PlayStation 4 established Sony’s dominance during the eighth console generation with a strong focus on first-party exclusives and developer-friendly hardware. Its long lifespan and extensive game library made it one of the most successful consoles of all time.
  • PlayStation 5: The PlayStation 5 delivers a major leap in performance with fast SSD loading, ray tracing and high frame rate support. Its exclusive titles and DualSense controller features define Sony’s current premium console experience.
  • Xbox One: The Xbox One positioned itself as an all-in-one entertainment system before refocusing on gaming through updates and exclusives. Its generation laid the groundwork for Microsoft’s subscription-led ecosystem approach.
  • Xbox Series X / Series S: Xbox Series X prioritises high-end performance, while Series S offers a more affordable, digital-first entry point. Together, they anchor Microsoft’s ecosystem-first strategy built around Game Pass and cross-generation support.
  • Nintendo Switch: The Nintendo Switch redefined console gaming by seamlessly blending home and handheld play. Its versatility, strong first-party titles and unique form factor set it apart from traditional console competitors.

  • Steam Deck: The Steam Deck bridges PC and console-style gaming by offering portable access to a large PC game library. Its open ecosystem and strong performance have reshaped expectations for handheld gaming power.
  • ROG Ally: The ROG Ally focuses on high-performance handheld gaming with Windows-based flexibility. It targets enthusiasts who want access to PC storefronts and demanding games in a portable form factor.
  • Lenovo Legion Go: The Lenovo Legion Go combines a large, high-resolution display with detachable controls and PC-grade hardware. It positions itself as a premium handheld option for players seeking versatility and power on the move.
