| Bottom line | The original GBA will still appeal to gamers on a budget, but its lack of illumination is a big drawback. | With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the
PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price. | Despite some clever dual-screen gaming mechanics, the
Wii U's lack of compelling exclusive software and an overall unpolished user experience make it tough to recommend in its current state. | With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS. |
