GAME SYSTEM GEAR OF THE YEAR
A QUICK LOOK AT WHAT EACH GAME SYSTEM HAS TO OFFER

NINTENDO SWITCH

3DS/NEW 3DS/2DS

XBOX ONE S

XBOX ONE X

With the Switch, Nintendo has created two
systems in one: a self-contained handheld
that can also be played as a home console.
On its own, the Switch offers even more
flexibility, as the Joy-Con controllers can
be disconnected and used as individual
controllers, together with the screen, for
local multiplayer. When not on the go, the
Switch's powerful hardware can play the
systems games in high-definition, from epic
single-player adventures to highly competitive online experiences.

Nintendo's 3DS has been a fantastic
evolution of the company's handheld efforts,
boosted by deeper online support and more
options for social connectivity. Now, the New
3DS revision of the system brings improved
3D, more powerful hardware, and additional
analog control options, while the 2DS plays
all 3DS games (minus the glasses-free 3D
visuals) at a lower price point.

With the Xbox One S, Microsoft takes
an all-in-one approach, creating
hardware that can be the center of
your entertainment needs, with robust
gaming, streaming and disc playback
options. Functions such as matchmaking
or system updates all happen in the
background as to not interupt your
gaming or viewing session. In this
revision to the Xbox One platform,
Microsoft has crafted a smaller and
more stylish system that supports 4K
streaming, Ultra HD Blu-ray movies and
High Dynamic Range.

The newest system on this list is one
of the most powerful consoles ever
created, the Xbox One X takes the core
ideas of the Xbox One platform and kicks
them into overdrive. By combining an
all-new processor and graphics card
with increased (and faster) memory,
Microsoft has put together a machine
custom-built for the next generation of
4K gaming. Even better, the Xbox One
X can play everything the Xbox One S
can - meaning your gaming library will
make the move with you.
