If you made a wish list of the best features for a gaming console, what would it have? Top of the line, of course, is games. The best games.

Or, more accurately, the best-marketed games to suck you into a particular gaming platform. Suffice it to say that premier gaming consoles (Playstation, Xbox, Switch, Android, PC, etc) will have great games. Period.

So what else are we looking for, then?

Here are the features of the console I have hooked up right this minute in my living room:

1. Voice control — Sure, this is no biggie today in a world of Alexa and Siri, but it’s still flawless, especially when combined with many of the features below, such as

3. Picture-in-picture — But even better is the ability to play Rogue Squadron with the gaming console having built-in PIP showing that football match down in the corner, so you don’t miss a play
4. Music and streaming of any kind on demand (and by voice) from a supported provider such as Spotify or some other, inferior service
