There's never been a handheld quite like the Nintendo 3DS - one
as brimming with features as well as potential, and offering an
experience that's frankly impossible on other mobile devices like
Apple's iPhone 4 or Sony's upcoming PSP successor. If you want the next
big idea from Nintendo, this is it.

As with any new gaming platform, the key to success for the PlayStation
Vita is the development of sufficient great games, but we like the
design and build of the Vita.

At a reasonable price, the PlayStation TV is likely to be a big hit this
Christmas – and not just for PS4 owners wanting to use Remote Play.
There's huge potential here for the device to be a gadget in its own
right but this hinges partly on third-party apps and even more so on
PlayStation Now. We hope Sony can get things sorted for the winter
season.
7. Nvidia Shield

The Shield is an impressive bit of hardware but it's niche - and it
doesn't really replace any of the devices you already likely own.
6. New 3DS and 3DS XL

- RRP: £149.99 for New 3DS, £179.99 for New 3DS XL

But if you consider the New 3DS's price from a broader perspective,
taking into consideration the price of other games consoles, it does
seem a bit pricey. You can buy the Sony PS Vita (2014 edition) for
around £150, and even the Nintendo Wii U for £160.
For most gamers, though, its value lies in the games available, so for
Monster Hunter fans, Pokemon fans or fans of Nintendo's many classics,
paying the £150 or £180 for the New 3DS is a no-brainer.
5. Xbox 360

- Best Price: Find The Best Xbox 360 Deals
It's hard not to be impressed by the Xbox 360. With its high-def output,
beautiful wireless controllers and amazing graphical prowess, it's a
gamer's dream. Take into account all the additional functionality (Media
Center Extender, Xbox Live Arcade, built-in Breville sandwich toaster)
and it's an absolute steal. You can either buy this now, or wait for
Sony to come good on its promises for PS3. I know which I'd choose.
4. Sony PlayStation 3 Slim

As Blu-ray players go, the original PS3 was competitively priced. With a
slimmer profile, lower price and lower power consumption, the
PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB) is arguably the one to beat. Factor in games,
social networking features such as PlayStation Home, music and custom
video playback, web surfing, and picture browsing, and this may be the
best-value Sony game system yet.
3. Nintendo Wii U

Nintendo got the whole family into gaming with its simple and fun
console, the Wii. See what we make of the highly anticipated follow-up

Xbox One is an imposing new entry to the range of digital entertainment
gadgets and offers a glimpse of the future. While implementation leaves a
lot to be desired at this early stage, many of the performance issues
are likely to be software based and fixable via updates further down the
line. If your aspirations are greater than traditional gaming, Xbox One
might just be worth believing in.
1. Sony PS4

- RRP: £349 inc VAT
- Best Price: Find The Best Sony PS4 Deals
The Sony PS4 is a good looking and powerful console with fantastic
hardware. We like the new DualShock controller and smooth interface.
It's also cheaper than the Xbox One but a lack of killer titles mean
it's probably worth hanging back for a while, grabbing after a price
drop.
