If you're going on the number of units shipped alone, there's not much disputing that Sony has won the battle to dominate the current generation of games consoles. We're the sorts to try to own all platforms available, but that isn't the case for many people, and the PlayStation 4 has shifted huge numbers of sales.
No wonder, too — there have been superb exclusive games from the console's launch right the way through to this, potentially the twilight of its life cycle. The PlayStation 5 may be coming, but if you don't have a PS4 now is still the perfect time to get on board. There are plenty of cheap games to enjoy, and you can pick up the console for some great prices if you're patient.
One of the best ways to get a new games consoles, we're sure you'll agree, is in a bundled package — that way you not only get your hardware, but also perhaps a game or two to play on it, or maybe some useful accessories that you would anyways be buying yourself. We've rounded up some of the best bundles on the market for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro, so that you can pick up a package that's perfect for you.
PlayStation 4 bundles
The original model of the PlayStation 4 has been replaced by this slimline version, which is much smaller and a bit more subtle, to boot. There are plenty of bundles to pick from if you're happy to stick with this tried-and-tested version of the console.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare PS4 bundle
The latest Call of Duty is a bit of a showstopper, bringing the series back into a realistic, contemporary setting and making some well-judged tweaks to the multiplayer format that has won over so many players for years now. It's the perfect companion to a new PS4, with a thriving online community that'll make sure you always have matches to join, and the game looks stunning as a bonus.
FIFA 20 PlayStation 4 bundle
The biggest game in the world, football (or soccer, if you must), has a massive annual game to go with it, in the form of FIFA. The huge franchise has become super-reliable in recent years and always delivers a polished sports experience. It's a great game to get started with a new console, and looks great with vivid colours and authentic player models.
If you really want to take advantage of having Sony's game console, though, you might want to get hold of some of the PS4's greatest exclusive games, and this bundle is perfect for that purpose — although it's only available in the US.
Along with your new console, you'll get The Last Of Us Remastered, God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn, three of the most critically-celebrated games of all time, and all of which you can't play on any other console. It's about as good a starter pack as we can imagine.
PlayStation 4 Pro bundles
This console generation has also been marked by the arrival of upgraded consoles, though, in the form of the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. The PS4 Pro is a beefed-up version of the PlayStation that might suit you if you want the best graphical performance you can get, and don't mind paying a bit more for it. If you want the latest games to look their best and run their smoothest, the below bundles for the PS4 Pro could be the ticket.
