When shopping for a new console, it’s a good idea to do some research to find out exactly what’s available and what you want from a console. For example, you’ll want to consider the games that are available for a system and whether or not game developers are actively producing new titles for the system. Backwards compatibility, online play, and multimedia capabilities are also considerations that can help guide you toward the console that’s right for you.
