1. The lack of smoothness is the most significant disadvantage. Small elements in most games, including Grand Theft Auto 5, flicker when you move the control stick or a character, causing them to "spit out." This came as a huge surprise to me. It's not only an issue with me; it affects everyone (as seen by a number of videos available on YouTube). There are some really nice video effects, including weather, and the magic looks amazing. However, the flickering ruins eighty percent of the overall effect. Even if it doesn't slow down, it's obvious that Grand Theft Auto 5 isn't running at 60 frames per second (FPS), but wouldn't you expect a little bit more from a system that costs this much?
2. The user interface is rather cumbersome to work with. Everything works perfectly in games, however the configuration options and overall usability of the main UI are terrible. Virtually no applications developed by third parties are available. The console is not capable of being used as a media player in any capacity.
3. The shop is difficult to navigate (there are nearly no demo versions and the available screenshots are of poor quality, if any at all). PSN nicknames cannot be changed, so I had to come up with something stupid like "vasya84," purchase a few games, and learn to live with the moniker going forward. Even while I didn't hesitate to choose a regular one for myself, I've heard that many other individuals struggle with this. He demands for money in exchange for the privilege to play online, which costs between two and four dollars for each game. (which is also a drawback), given the hectic nature of the schedule. You need to be ready for everything to load from the shop for a very long time; you should be prepared for this. If you have 100 megabits of Internet speed, you should be ready for 1-3 at the absolute best. If a corporation of this size is unable to fend off DDOS attacks, then going five days without access to the internet should be no problem. In general, the level of service and attention that Sony provides for its users [censored].
4. Despite the fact that it was handled very carefully, the gamepad started to make a creaking sound, and after a few of weeks, R2 got a bit loose. Rapidly loses its power, and the only way to recharge it is via a mini-USB cable, which is notoriously difficult to insert. It would appear that Apple has been developing magnetic chargers for some time now, and there are already a number of wireless charging options available for a variety of mobile devices, including smartphones. The "nextgen console" is not the place to engage in such nonsensical behavior at this juncture.
