Game consoles with DVD/Blu-ray drive

Compact modification of the Sony PlayStation 5th generation gaming console. Despite the reduced case size, the hardware of the console fully matches the original PS5, with the size reduction made possible by the modernization of the cooling system. The brain of the device is a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor with a clock speed of 3.5 GHz, providing desktop-level performance akin to the Ryzen 7 3700X chip. A custom graphics accelerator from AMD is based on the RDNA 2 architecture and offers performance comparable to the Radeon RX 6700 XT, yet it outperforms the latter thanks to the use of unified memory. The Sony PlayStation 5 Slim supports both standard 4K resolution and a refresh rate of more→120 Hz. There is also the capability for output to displays with 8K resolution. Support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) technology minimizes screen tearing, ensuring a more enjoyable gaming experience. Included with the device is the next-generation DualSense gamepad with signature adaptive triggers that can change the pressure required depending on the current game session settings. Sony has also significantly reworked the gamepad's haptic feedback system. The communications features of the device include a built-in LAN port for direct network connection, a wireless module supporting Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth, as well as three USB ports.

The PlayStation gaming console in its fifth generation is notable for its futuristic appearance and powerful electronic components akin to high-end gaming PCs of today. "Under the hood," the console hosts a custom eight-core processor based on AMD Zen 2 architecture. The console's graphics core includes 36 compute units, operates at a frequency of up to 2.23 GHz, and offers a performance of 10.28 teraflops. It features 16 GB of GDDR6 RAM. A specifically developed PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive with a storage capacity of 825 GB is included. The basic modification of the Sony PlayStation 5 is equipped with an optical drive. The console can outp more→ut images to the screen in a maximum resolution of 4K. Additionally, the model supports HDR, enhancing color quality, making images more realistic and amplifying the feeling of full immersion in the game world. The Japanese manufacturer has fitted the device with modern wireless modules, Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth. The accessory lineup for the fifth-generation model is styled in the same distinctive black-and-white color scheme as the console itself. The gamepad, headphones, remote control, dual camera, and charging station are all designed in harmony with it.

The term Slim in the name describes one of the key differences from the original Playstation 4 — a thinner and more compact body. However, there is no fundamental difference between this model and its predecessor. Thus, the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim gaming console has received wireless modules Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.0, the processor has become somewhat more powerful, yet the RAM volume and graphics card performance remain unchanged — which, however, are quite sufficient for FullHD games with high detail.

True to its name, this model is a further development and improvement of the advanced desktop console PlayStation 4, modified to meet the top class for the fall of 2016. One of the most striking practical differences from its predecessor was support for 4K video; this became possible primarily due to a new video accelerator with an almost 2.5-fold increase in performance. Processor — also improved, although of the same family — AMD Jaguar; this allowed to keep the amount of RAM at 8 GB.

From a technical point of view, this console is outdated: the processor frequency is only 294 MHz, the RAM is 32 MB, and the overall set of features is not comparable to the successor to the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, version 2 has long been one of the standards, and it is written for it a huge number of games. The set-top box can be used as a media centre for watching movies from DVD with 5.1 sound; in addition to optical discs, memory cards are also supported. The package includes a DualShock2 joystick.

A game console released in 2013 that continues the PlayStation line of desktop consoles. Like the third version, it is equipped with an 8-core processor, but in this case it is an AMD Jaguar, and the amount of RAM has been increased to 8 GB. The design provides a 500 GB drive, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports. Sony PlayStation 4 supports all major optical disc formats up to Blu-ray. Also worth noting is the integration with the Vita portable console, including the ability to use as a controller.

One of the older models in the updated family of Microsoft game consoles, which initially comes with two branded control joysticks instead of one. This option is primarily designed for users who love joint games behind the same screen. Also note that the set includes Microsoft Xbox One S in a modification with a 1 TB drive. In addition to games, the device can play content from external drives connected via a USB port, DVD / Blu-ray discs and directly from the Internet. The maximum resolution supported is ultraHD (4K), with support for HDR technology.

A slightly smaller and simplified version of one of the most popular game consoles ever made by Nintendo. The Nintendo Wii Mini is dressed in a stylish black and red case and is initially equipped with Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk branded controllers. The model is equipped with a DVD / Blu-ray disc drive, but it is deprived of the ability to connect to the Internet, which was in the original version of the set-top box. A special Nintendo Sensor Bar provides tracking of controller movements, which opens up new possibilities for the user in games.

The third gaming console in the Xbox family, introduced in 2013. Microsoft Xbox One is built on a powerful eight-core AMD x86-64 processor, complemented by 8 GB of RAM (3 GB are used for office purposes, the rest is for games), carries a 500 GB hard drive. The games are available both on Blu-ray discs and through the online store; It is worth noting that games of previous generations are not supported. It is also worth noting the support for 7.1 sound, which can be output through the optical output. The set of ports also includes HDMI input and output and three USB 3.0 connectors. The headset is included in the package.

A variation on the PlayStation 3 from autumn 2012, modified to reduce size and weight: it is almost a quarter thinner and lighter than the "regular" slim version. Like its predecessor, Super Slim is built on an 8-core 3.2 GHz processor and has 256 MB of RAM, but the hard drive is available in 2 versions — 12 and 500 GB. Of the supported media — optical discs up to Blu-ray. The console has 2 USB ports and a traditional set of communications — LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. Dualshock 3 controller included.

Having replaced the original Wii, this model not only continued the traditions of the series, but also introduced several new original solutions. So, the design of the controller actually blurs the line between desktop and portable consoles: it is actually a separate portable console with a microphone, camera and its own 6.2" touch screen, where, if necessary, you can switch the gameplay from an external screen. At the same time the console is compatible with the games and all the accessories of its predecessor.

Quite an interesting variation on the theme of the original PlayStation 3. On the one hand, the new console has lost a memory card slot and half of the USB ports (Slim has 2 of them). On the other hand, the volume of the built-in storage has increased to 120 GB (in the minimum configuration), and power consumption has decreased by 30% with the same hardware basis: 8-core processor with 3.2 GB, 256 MB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, integration with the PlayStation Network and even the installation of additional software from the PlayStation Store.

Although this console is not the most advanced on the market today, it still has a very impressive set of features, both basic and advanced. Technically, it is a direct successor to the original PSP and outwardly differs from it in reduced size and a new screen, and inside — doubled (up to 64 MB) RAM. Like the original, it works with MS Duo cards and UMDs and can be used not only for games, but also as a player and for accessing

This portable console can rightfully be attributed to the "classics of the genre." It is one of the most famous and popular in its class, numerous games have been released for it. In addition, the console is notable for a wide range of additional features that allow it to be used as a portable media player, photo album and even a GPS navigator; a huge number of additional accessories are produced for it, and compatibility with the PlayStation 3 desktop console is worth mentioning separately.

This desktop console can be called legendary without exaggeration. Completely obsolete in terms of performance, it still remains popular thanks to its unique gameplay: wireless joysticks with accelerometers allow you to simulate the same movements that are used in real life (hitting a tennis racquet, swinging a fishing rod, etc.), but for Due to the huge number of additional accessories, the game becomes even more interesting. Of the technical features, it is worth noting 5.1 sound support and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.

An advanced game console, the successor to the popular PlayStation 2 model. Compared to its predecessor, it has acquired a much more powerful hardware platform: for example, the processor has 8 cores at 3.2 GHz, the amount of RAM is 512 MB, it has its own drive (from 20 to 80 GB) , and supported media include Blu-ray and memory cards. An HDMI output appeared, and Wi-Fi (optional) and Bluetooth were added to the communications set.
