Choosing the best game console on the characteristics is undoubtedly important, but there is another factor that can not be discounted - for the possibility of acquiring it is not too expensive games. Before you choose a game console is necessary to specify whether to support her games developed for the earlier model range.

It simply noted that the best OLED-TV has not yet come up with anything. It is better to turn to the diagonal. Of course, what it will be more, the more clearly the effect of immersion in the game. The main thing that this does not have any other options.

The larger the screen, the more realistic the game is - rightly

Screen resolution. No modern game console has a resolution higher than 1080 p (except for «Sony PlayStation 4 Pro»). But even with that you so expensive console to acquire the TV resolution of 2160 p it does not make sense - the difference is not noticeable.
